The projection screen showed the clear video evidence again.
Guests pulled out their phones to record the playback.
Evelyn reached for her pearl necklace with shaking hands.
Evelyn: Turn that screen off right now, turn it off!
Caleb: The truth is finally out in the open, mother.
Caleb stepped closer to the stage while cradling his son.
He pulled a folded document from his grey jacket pocket.
Caleb: This is the certified copy of my father's will.
The crowd leaned in closer to hear Caleb's words.
Caleb: My father left the estate directly to my son.
Caleb: You were only named as a temporary trustee.
Evelyn: I built this family business with my own hands!
Caleb: You spent millions from the account without authorization!
Evelyn's face turned bright red with embarrassment and anger.
She knew the corporate lawyers in the room were listening.
A prominent divorce lawyer stepped forward from the crowd.
Lawyer: If this video is real, you face severe legal trouble.
Lawyer: Child endangerment and fraud carry heavy prison sentences.
Evelyn shook her head frantically as panic set in.
Evelyn: I was only trying to protect our family legacy!
Caleb: You were trying to protect your own bank account!
The newborn baby quieted down and fell fast asleep.
Caleb kissed his son's forehead with deep warmth.
He felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders.
For months, Evelyn had threatened to take his son away.
She used her wealth and power to intimidate him daily.
Now her power was evaporating under the bright hall lights.
The crowd stared at Evelyn with disgust and cold disapproval.
Caleb: Your control over this family ends tonight.
Evelyn: You cannot strip me of my position, Caleb!
Caleb: Watch me do exactly that in front of everyone.
