Mark: Sweetie, what are you doing?
Lily: Uncle Mark, you can't let them arrest her! She didn't steal anything!
Evelyn: Lily, put that phone away right now! You're just a child, you don't know what you're talking about!
Lily: Yes I do! I was playing hide and seek behind the flower post before the ceremony!
Tears streamed down the little girl's face as her lower lip trembled.
Lily: I recorded the whole thing on my phone because I was making a video for your wedding!
Evelyn: That's absurd! Mark, make her be quiet!
Mark: Hold on, Evelyn. Let her speak.
Lily: Look at the screen, Uncle Mark! Look at what she did!
Lily walked up to the groom and held the glowing smartphone right in front of his face.
A crisp video played on the clear screen.
In the video clip, Evelyn stood behind the wooden post where Clara's apron was hanging earlier.
The screen showed Evelyn herself sliding the valuable diamond necklace into Clara's beige apron pocket while looking around nervously.
A digital chime echoed from the phone as the video ended, followed by a sudden gasp from the entire crowd.
Mark: What... what is this?
Evelyn: Mark, no! It's an editing trick! She manipulated the video!
Lily: I didn't edit anything! You did it on purpose to get Clara fired!
Mark: WHY DID YOU DO THIS TO HER IN TEXAS?! πΊπΈ
Mark turned furiously toward Evelyn, his eyes wide in absolute shock and outrage.
Evelyn gasped in horror, clutching her chest as her terrifying lie was exposed to all her guests.
Evelyn: Mark, please... listen to me...
Mark: Listen to what? The video shows your hands slipping the necklace into her apron!
Clara: I told you... I would never steal anything...
Mark: Security, let Clara go right now!
The guards instantly released Clara's arms.
Mark: Evelyn, explain yourself right now, or this wedding is over before it even starts!
Evelyn stumbled backward, her face turning entirely pale under her bridal veil.
Evelyn: It was... it was just a mistake...
Mark: A mistake? Framing an innocent worker is a crime!
Lily: She wanted to get rid of Clara because Clara knows about the money!
The crowd went dead silent at the child's words.
