Chloe shrieked loudly as the heavy metal handcuffs clicked shut around her wrists.
Chloe: You'll regret this, Mark! You need me to run this mansion!
Mark: I don't need a snake in my house. Get her out of my sight.
Officer Davis led the screaming woman down the grand driveway to the police cruiser.
Mark sat down on the marble step where his mother had fallen moments ago.
He placed his head in his hands and took several deep breaths to stay calm.
A second police officer entered the house carrying a folder found upstairs.
Officer Smith: Sir, we found these documents lying near the top landing.
Mark reached out his hand and took the folder from the officer.
Inside was his late father's official last will and legal estate papers.
Mark flipped through the pages and read the highlight lines carefully.
Chloe had been trying to alter the legal trust fund documents in secret.
She wanted to transfer the entire estate into her personal offshore bank account.
Margaret had caught her editing the files in the home office earlier that afternoon.
When Margaret threatened to call the family lawyer, Chloe lost her mind completely.
She had followed Margaret to the staircase to snatch the papers back forcefully.
When Margaret refused to give them up, Chloe pushed her down the steps.
Mark clutched the papers tightly against his chest as anger filled his heart.
He realized his wife had married him only for his immense wealth and property.
His phone buzzed in his pocket, breaking the sudden silence of the room.
It was a call from the head doctor at the Dallas emergency hospital.
Mark: Hello Doctor! Is my mother going to be okay?
Doctor: Mr. Vance, your mother has survived the fall with minor fractures.
Mark let out a huge sigh of relief as tears streamed down his face.
Doctor: She is awake now and asking to see you immediately.
