Richard took a deep breath as his grief transformed into absolute protective fury.
He stepped in front of his young daughter to shield her from Evelyn.
Richard: You tried to take my life inside my own home!
Evelyn: It is a complete mistake, please let me explain!
Richard: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!
His deep voice boomed like thunder across the massive residential dining hall.
He pointed a rigid finger straight toward the large mahogany double front doors.
Evelyn burst into panicked tears as she backed away from her furious husband.
She grabbed her designer purse from the table and ran out the door.
The heavy entrance doors slammed shut behind her, echoing throughout the estate.
Richard immediately pulled out his cellular phone from his coat pocket.
Richard: I need emergency police officers at my address immediately.
He reported the dangerous incident clearly while his loyal guests stood in shock.
Two main business associates stepped forward to offer Richard their full support.
Associate: Richard, we saw everything and we will testify for you.
Richard: Thank you, my friends, please stay until the police arrive.
Richard knelt down on the hard floor to embrace his young daughter warmly.
Richard: You saved my life tonight, sweetie. You were so brave.
Lily: I was so scared you were going to drink it, Daddy.
Richard: Nobody will ever hurt our family again, I promise you that.
Within fifteen minutes, police sirens echoed down the long private neighborhood driveway.
Four officers walked into the grand dining room to secure the scene.
They placed caution tape around the ruined marble floor to preserve evidence.
A forensics officer took careful liquid samples of the bubbling chemical substance.
Officer: This chemical liquid is highly dangerous and toxic to human health.
Richard: She tried to eliminate me before my new will was finalized.
Officer: We will locate her immediately and place her under arrest.
The police launched a full investigation into Evelyn's recent financial activities.
They quickly uncovered massive hidden bank debts under her personal name.
She had planned to claim the substantial life insurance policy worth millions.
