Mark set the heavy grocery bags down onto the clean kitchen counter.
He walked quickly toward his brave young daughter in the living room.
Lily pressed play on the small screen of her white smartphone.
The bright screen showed Evelyn standing right over little baby Leo.
It captured every cold word Evelyn said while pushing the baby rough.
The video clearly showed Evelyn taunting the helpless baby without any care.
Mark watched the video as his face turned pale with deep anger.
He had spent years defending his mother against every small complaint.
He had always believed his mother was a kind and loving woman.
Now the awful truth stood right before his very eyes on screen.
Evelyn took a nervous step back toward the large glass window.
Evelyn: Mark, sweetie, that video does not show the real context!
Evelyn: That girl edited the video to make me look bad!
Mark: Shut your mouth right now, Mom!
Mark turned toward his mother with fierce rage in his blue eyes.
He had never shouted at his own mother in his entire life.
Mark: How could you treat my son like that in my house?
Mark: How could you say those horrible things to my wife?
Sarah held Leo tightly while gently comforting her sweet daughter Lily.
She felt a heavy weight lift off her tired chest at last.
She was no longer alone in this painful struggle against Evelyn.
Evelyn tried to put on a sweet smile to trick her son.
Evelyn: I was only trying to teach Sarah a simple lesson.
Evelyn: She leaves the baby unattended all the time in this room!
Sarah: I was in the kitchen for ten seconds, Evelyn!
Sarah: You intentionally hurt his feelings and pushed his toys away!
Mark stepped between Evelyn and his small loving family.
His voice shook with strong emotion as he pointed toward the door.
Mark: Get out of my house right now, Evelyn.
Evelyn gasped in loud shock at her son's harsh words.
Evelyn: You are kicking your own mother out onto the street?
Evelyn: Over a silly little video made by a child?
Mark: You proved today that you do not love this family.
Mark: Pack your bags before I call the local police department.
Evelyn looked at Sarah with deep hatred in her cold eyes.
She realized she had lost all power over her son forever.
Evelyn: Fine, I will leave this trashy house immediately!
Evelyn: You will regret treating your mother like a common stranger!
Evelyn turned around and walked briskly toward the guest bedroom doors.
She slammed the bedroom door shut with a loud, echoey crash.
Mark turned back to Sarah and pulled her into a warm hug.
He kissed his crying baby softly on his tiny warm forehead.
Mark: I am so sorry I did not believe you sooner, Sarah.
Sarah: I am just glad our children are safe now, Mark.
Lily hugged her father's waist tightly as tears filled her eyes.
Lily: I did a good job, right Dad?
Mark: You were so brave today, my sweet smart girl.
Yet they did not know Evelyn was plotting a dark revenge.
