Officer Miller: Dallas Police! Step away from each other and keep your hands where we can see them!
Two uniformed officers rushed into the living room, their hands resting on their sidearms as they evaluated the scene[cite: 1].
Marcus: Over here, Officer! My wife is seven months pregnant! That woman in the red dress just assaulted her and stepped on her stomach![cite: 1]
Officer Miller: Officer Davis, call for an immediate paramedic transport to Dallas General Hospital!
Officer Davis: Dispatch, we need an EMS unit at the Sterling estate immediately. Pregnant female, abdominal trauma.
Evelyn: Officer, listen to me! I am Evelyn Sterling! My family owns this property! This woman is a gold-digger who tried to kill me!
Officer Miller: Ma'am, stay where you are and lower your voice. Sir, did you witness the assault?
Marcus: I walked in and saw her foot on my wife's stomach[cite: 1]. Furthermore, we have full 4K ceiling camera footage of the entire incident right there[cite: 1].
Officer Miller looked up at the ceiling camera, noting the solid red light blinking on the white housing[cite: 1].
Officer Miller: Is the video system saved to a remote cloud server?
Marcus: Yes. It records continuously and backs up to my personal phone and security cloud automatically[cite: 1].
Evelyn: Marcus, please! We're blood! You can't put your own sister in a Texas prison!
Marcus: You aren't my sister anymore. You ceased being my family the moment you put your heel on my child.
Evelyn: I did it for us! She was going to take the entire trust fund! I found the legal documents in her bag today!
Chloe: Those... those weren't trust fund documents, Evelyn... those were adoption papers for my younger sister...
Evelyn froze, her red dress rustling as she turned her eyes toward Chloe on the floor[cite: 1].
Evelyn: What... what did you say?
Chloe: My little sister is in foster care... Marcus and I were applying to adopt her so she could live with us...
Marcus: You went snooping through Chloe's private bags, saw legal forms, and assumed she was trying to steal from the family trust?
Evelyn: I... I thought she was changing Dad's estate terms...
Marcus: You paranoid, greedy fool! The estate terms were locked five years ago! The only person who has been stealing money from this family is YOU!
Sirens blared outside as two paramedics carrying a stretcher and emergency medical kits hurried through the wide doorway.
Paramedic Sarah: Sir, please step back. Let us check her vitals immediately.
Marcus: Please save my wife and my baby! She's having severe stomach pain!
Paramedic Sarah: Ma'am, can you hear me? Keep your body completely still. We're going to lift you onto the stretcher very gently.
Chloe: Marcus... don't leave me... please...
Marcus: I'm right behind you, Chloe. I'm coming to the hospital with you.
Officer Miller pulled out a pair of heavy steel handcuffs, stepping directly toward Evelyn.
Officer Miller: Evelyn Sterling, turn around and put your hands behind your back. You are under arrest for felony assault on a pregnant individual and attempted injury to a child.
Evelyn: Get off me! You can't arrest me! Do you know who my lawyers are?!
Officer Miller: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
The steel cuffs clicked loudly as Evelyn screamed hysterically, her red dress twisting as the officers led her out through the grand entrance.
