The relatives began to chatter excitedly among themselves as the truth spread.
Evelyn glared angrily at Julian with deep hatred in her wrinkled eyes.
Evelyn: You are destroying this family name over a petty grudge!
Julian: You destroyed this family when you targeted an innocent kid!
Victoria: He is just a child, he does not need a full share!
Julian: He is my son, and he gets everything that belongs to him!
Julian turned to face the lawyer sitting at a small side table.
The lawyer quickly gathered his files, looking nervous under Julian's direct glare.
Julian: Cancel the new trust agreement immediately.
Lawyer: Yes, Mr. Vance, right away.
Evelyn: You cannot cancel the contract without my personal approval!
Julian: Check page four of the original deed, Evelyn.
Julian pointed his finger directly at the clause written in bold red ink.
His mother had placed a protective clause in the original mansion land title.
If any family member showed cruel behavior toward an heir, they lost all rights.
The video camera on the patio security pole had recorded the whole incident.
It showed Evelyn kicking the cake plate out of the boy's hands clearly.
It also recorded Victoria laughing at the crying child immediately afterward.
Julian: I have the full video footage saved on three secure servers.
Evelyn: That was just a minor accident on the patio!
Julian: You kicked it with full force while looking right at him!
Leo held his father's coat sleeve tightly as he listened to the words.
He did not understand all the legal talk, but he felt safe now.
His father was standing like a solid shield between him and the bullies.
Victoria rushed up to Evelyn's side, holding her arm in panic.
Victoria: Do something, Evelyn, tell him he cannot do this!
Evelyn: Be quiet, Victoria, let me handle this!
Julian: Neither of you handles anything on my property anymore.
Julian raised his hand toward the two heavy security officers waiting nearby.
The officers stepped forward, placing themselves directly between Evelyn and the guests.
The luxury party was completely ruined, just like the cake on the floor.
