Night fell over the quiet neighborhood as Marcus drove back quickly.
He parked his dark car down the block away from light.
He walked stealthily through the garden path behind the garage doors.
The mansion was dark except for the bright side office light.
Marcus used his old family key to unlock the side doorway.
He stepped inside quietly on the soft thick red carpet floor.
He walked toward the security office hidden behind the main kitchen.
Suddenly he heard Evelyn talking on her phone inside the office.
Evelyn: Delete the footage from this morning right away, Arthur!
Arthur: That will cost extra money, Mrs. Evelyn Vance, you know.
Evelyn: I will pay you double from the trust fund money!
Marcus pulled out his phone and recorded her clear voice instantly.
He held his breath while standing outside the cracked wooden door.
Evelyn: The girl fell because I pulled the chain off her.
Arthur: Did anyone see you drop the diamonds in her pocket?
Evelyn: Nobody saw anything except that foolish uncle of hers now.
Marcus stepped inside the room and pushed the door wide open.
Evelyn gasped and dropped her expensive glass onto the desk top.
Marcus: I heard every single word you just said, Evelyn.
Evelyn: You are trespassing in my house, get out right now!
Marcus: This is not your house, it belongs entirely to Lily.
Evelyn reached for the panic button on the dark wooden wall.
Marcus held up his phone showing the active recording light brightly.
Marcus: The police are already on their way to this location.
Evelyn: You cannot prove anything against me in court ever!
Marcus: The video recording is already saved on the cloud server.
Evelyn's face turned pale as she realized she was caught now.
Her cold confidence disappeared in a single terrifying moment of realization.
