The emergency medical team rushed into the grand foyer with a stretcher.
Marcus stepped aside so the paramedics could tend to his injured mother.
They placed an oxygen mask over Evelyn's face and checked her vital signs.
Sarah stood near the front door, wringing her hands in deep panic.
Sarah: Is she going to be okay, doctor?
Paramedic: She is stable, but we must transport her to the hospital immediately.
Marcus grabbed his coat and prepared to follow the ambulance to the hospital.
He looked at Tyler, who was standing quietly near the living room door.
Marcus: Tyler, stay right here with your uncle David for a moment.
Tyler: Dad, do not let her go near Grandma's office papers.
Marcus turned around slowly to face Sarah once again in the hallway.
Marcus: What were you doing in my mother's private study last night?
Sarah: I was just organizing the holiday mail for the family!
Tyler: You were using a gold pen to sign Grandma's name!
Sarah's breath caught in her throat as her cheeks turned bright red.
Marcus took three quick steps toward Sarah, his eyes filled with fierce anger.
Marcus: You forged my mother's signature on legal documents?
Sarah: Your son is making up stories because he dislikes me!
Marcus: Tyler never lies to me about important matters!
Sarah: Marcus, I have loved you for five years now!
Marcus: Then show me what is inside your purse right now!
Sarah backed away toward the front entrance, clutching her leather bag tightly.
Marcus reached out and pulled the purse gently but firmly from her shoulder.
He unzipped the main compartment and inverted the contents onto the table.
A thick stack of bank transfer papers tumbled out onto the marble wood.
Marcus scanned the top document with a look of utter disbelief on his face.
Marcus: You tried to transfer the property title into your own name?
Sarah: It was only to protect our future together as a family!
Marcus: You lied to me from the very day we got married!
Sarah: I did it because your mother was trying to cut us out!
Tyler: Grandma was trying to save the house for my college fund!
Marcus felt a heavy knot form deep inside his stomach as truth emerged.
He realized his wife had been planning this betrayal for many months.
Marcus: Get out of my sight before the police arrive here.
Sarah: Marcus, you cannot throw your own wife out like this!
Marcus: Watch me protect my family from your terrible greed right now.
Sarah took a step back, realizing she had lost all her control.
She looked at the young boy with an expression of deep resentment.
Tyler stood his ground next to his father without blinking an eye.
The paramedic called from the front driveway, urging Marcus to come quickly.
Marcus looked at Sarah one last time before turning toward the open door.
Marcus: This entire marriage was built on a terrible lie.
