The attorney tapped the screen to replay the video from three minutes ago.
The clear video showed Evelyn approaching the young boy on the balcony.
It captured her shoving Leo hard against the low iron frame.
The attorney looked up from the screen with a look of horror.
Attorney: My God, Evelyn, it is all right here on tape.
Evelyn: That camera angle is deceiving and completely misleading!
David: You are done lying to everyone, mother.
Sirens echoed in the distance, growing louder as police cars approached.
Evelyn turned around and tried to hurry toward her private office doors.
She wanted to hide the legal papers regarding the modified family trust.
David followed her down the wide hallway with Leo in his arms.
David: You won't escape the consequences of what you did today.
Evelyn: I built this estate empire with your father for decades!
David: And you destroyed it all in one second of bitter cruelty.
Two police cruisers pulled up the long driveway outside the front entrance.
Red and blue lights flashed brightly against the white mansion pillars.
Officers stepped out of their vehicles with their hands near their belts.
They knocked firmly on the heavy oak doors of the grand foyer.
The estate attorney walked over and opened the doors immediately for them.
Officer: We received an emergency call regarding an assault on a child.
David: I made the call, officer.
David stepped forward and pointed toward his mother in the hallway.
David: She shoved my five-year-old son off the balcony deck upstairs.
Officer: Is the child injured, sir?
David: He is shaken up, but I caught him before he hit.
The police officer looked closely at Evelyn standing near her desk.
Officer: Ma'am, stay right where you are and keep hands visible.
Evelyn: This is a private family matter inside my personal home!
Attorney: Officer, I have clear video footage of the incident on this device.
The lead officer stepped over to examine the tablet screen carefully.
He watched the video play twice before turning back to Evelyn.
His face became stern as he reached for the handcuffs on his belt.
