Evelyn backed away until her shoulders pressed firmly against the bottom of the grand staircase railing.
She clutched her hands together in sheer shock and terror as Richard stepped forward authoritatively.
Evelyn: Richard, please don't do this, we can talk about this privately!
Richard: There is nothing left to talk about between us ever again, Evelyn!
Richard immediately dialed the direct number for his private security team and the local police department.
He reported the reckless endangerment and presented the clear video footage to the dispatch operator.
Within ten minutes, two police cruisers pulled into the wide circular driveway outside the mansion.
Two uniform officers entered the foyer and reviewed the footage directly from Richard's mobile device.
Evelyn tried to argue her case, claiming it was an unfortunate misunderstanding between spouses.
However, the clear video evidence left no doubt about her deliberate and dangerous actions that morning.
The officers placed metallic handcuffs around her wrists and led her slowly toward the front doors.
As she was escorted out, Richard called his family attorney to initiate immediate divorce proceedings.
He also instructed his legal team to enforce the strict terms of their prenuptial agreement completely.
The agreement stated that any illegal conduct or harm toward family members invalidated all financial claims.
Evelyn left the mansion with absolutely nothing, facing serious legal consequences for her shocking greed.
She had sacrificed her luxurious lifestyle and her freedom for a fortune she could never touch.
Richard watched the police car drive down the long gates before turning back into his home.
He knew the hard part was over, but protecting Maya would always remain his primary mission.
