The grand dining room at the downtown Dallas hotel was packed with guests.
Robert sat at the head table looking tired and deeply saddened.
Evelyn sat right next to him holding his hand with a soft smile.
Chloe was sitting across from them sipping expensive pink champagne in her dress.
The waiter served the main meal as the quiet string quartet played softly.
Suddenly the heavy double doors at the front of the room swung open.
Lucas walked straight down the center aisle in his black tux jacket.
Marcus walked right behind him carrying a large portable video projector unit.
Robert: How dare you show your face in this public room, Lucas!
Evelyn: Call the hotel security guards to throw him out right now!
Lucas: Sit down, Evelyn, before everyone sees who you really are!
Chloe: Lucas, please stop making a scene in front of our friends!
Lucas: Dad, give me three minutes to show you the actual truth.
Robert: You have caused enough pain for one single family today!
Lucas: If I am lying, you can put me in jail forever, Dad.
Robert looked at his son's steady eyes and hesitated for a second.
He gestured for the security officers to wait near the back wall.
Robert: Three minutes, Lucas, and not a single second more.
Marcus pointed the projector at the large white projection screen behind the table.
The bright light flashed on the white fabric as the video started playing.
The high quality audio echoed clearly through the silent formal dining hall.
Evelyn's voice filled the room as she applied the fake red dye.
Evelyn: Robert will lose his mind the moment he sees this.
Chloe: Make sure he cuts Lucas out of the estate completely today.
The entire room went completely silent as every guest stared in shock.
Chloe dropped her glass of champagne onto the table with a crash.
Evelyn turned pale as a ghost as she tried to stand up fast.
Evelyn: This video is a fake computer generated lie made by Lucas!
Sam: I am the lead system administrator, and that file is original, sir.
Sam walked into the room holding the official digital signature server logs.
