The police arrived ten minutes later along with the family lawyer.
Attorney Davis walked into the high foyer with his leather briefcase.
He looked at the tense scene with a calm and professional eye.
Mark immediately demanded that Veronica be taken away in heavy handcuffs.
He swore under oath that he witnessed the entire violent assault.
Attorney Davis held up his hand to stop the angry shouting.
He announced that the estate was equipped with brand new security cameras.
Veronica looked up with a sudden spark of hope in her eyes.
Mark froze in place as his face suddenly lost all color.
He had forgotten about the high definition system installed last week.
Attorney Davis pulled out a sleek silver tablet from his bag.
He rewound the high definition video footage to ten minutes ago.
The officers gathered around the screen to watch the whole event.
The camera clearly showed Veronica standing five feet away from Clara.
It showed Clara tripping on her own heavy shoes near the door.
Veronica had never even touched her stepdaughter during the whole argument.
The video proved beyond any doubt that Veronica was entirely innocent.
The police officer turned his cold gaze directly toward furious Mark.
He asked Mark why he had lied about seeing a push.
Mark stammered and tried to change his story very quickly now.
He claimed he was just confused by the angle from outside.
Clara looked at Mark with deep doubt and growing horror today.
She realized her fiance had lied to frame her stepmother completely.
Attorney Davis then pulled out another set of legal documents tonight.
He revealed a major secret about the massive family inheritance money.
Mark had been secretly transferring money out of the business fund.
He was trying to frame Veronica so no one would investigate.
The truth was finally coming out in front of everyone present.
