The officer walked briskly toward Evelyn near her mahogany desk frame.
Officer: Evelyn Vance, you are under arrest for endangerment and assault.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me, I am the owner of this estate!
The officer turned her around and secured the steel handcuffs behind her back.
Evelyn gasped as the metal clicked locked around her wrists securely.
She looked over at David with desperation written all over her face.
Evelyn: David, tell them to stop, think about our family name!
David: You didn't think about family when you pushed my son.
Evelyn: I will hire the best legal team in the state!
David: No lawyer can save you from that video evidence, mother.
The second officer carefully wrote down David's statement in his notebook.
He asked David if Leo needed immediate medical evaluation by paramedics.
David asked for an ambulance to check Leo for any hidden injuries.
The paramedics arrived shortly after and examined the frightened young boy.
They confirmed Leo had no broken bones or major physical bruises.
Leo sat on the sofa with a warm blanket wrapped around his shoulders.
He held his father's hand tightly and stopped crying after a while.
The police led Evelyn out the front entrance of the grand mansion.
Neighbors gathered at the end of the driveway to watch the scene.
They were shocked to see the wealthy matriarch put into a police car.
The attorney handed a copy of the security file to the detective.
Attorney: I will also file for an emergency restraining order today.
David: Thank you, Arthur, she will never come near my son again.
Attorney: The entire family trust will now pass directly to you and Leo.
David looked down at his son and felt a deep sense of relief.
The dark cloud that hung over their family was finally lifting away.
He knew the path ahead would involve difficult court dates and legal battles.
However, his priority had always been protecting his innocent child from harm.
