The next morning brought grey clouds and heavy rain over the mansion grounds.
The sound of water dripping echoed down the high chimneys into the fireplaces.
Evelyn sat at the long mahogany dining table sipping dark black tea.
Her personal attorney, Mr. Harrison, sat right beside her with leather folders.
Mr. Harrison was a stern lawyer who managed the family trust accounts.
Evelyn: We must remove her name from the trust index immediately.
Harrison: The legal clause requires absolute proof of biological paternity first.
Evelyn: My son was tricked, and I will not permit it!
Harrison: If we sign these petition papers, we can hold the funds.
Sarah walked into the dining room carrying little Lily in a soft wrap.
Julian walked right beside her with a firm and steady step.
Evelyn looked up with a cold smile resting on her thin lips.
Evelyn: You are early for your eviction meeting, my dear Sarah.
Sarah: We are not leaving this house or our daughter's rightful place.
Evelyn: You have no power here without the proper bloodline proof.
Julian: Stop this ridiculous witch hunt right now, Mother!
Julian slammed the official DNA result paper down onto the mahogany table.
The heavy paper landed right beside Evelyn's delicate porcelain tea cup.
Mr. Harrison picked up the paper quickly and adjusted his gold glasses.
He scanned the official court stamps and laboratory signatures carefully.
Harrison: This document is fully certified by the state supreme court.
Evelyn: That piece of paper must be an elaborate fake!
Harrison: Mrs. Bennett, these signatures match the official state seal completely.
Evelyn's face turned completely red with sudden boiling rage.
She stood up quickly, knocking her wooden chair backward onto the floor.
Evelyn: You think a piece of paper gives you our power?
Sarah: It proves my daughter is the legitimate heir to this estate!
Evelyn: I control the board members and every single bank account!
Julian looked at his mother as if seeing her clearly for the first time.
He realized that her obsession with money had destroyed her human soul.
Julian: You never cared about family warmth or true love, Mother.
Julian: You only care about controlling everyone around you like puppets.
Evelyn: I built this vast fortune to preserve our high standing!
Sarah: You built a cold prison of greed and lonely lies.
Mr. Harrison cleared his throat nervously and closed his legal folder.
He realized that Evelyn's legal position had collapsed entirely into dust.
Harrison: Under section four, little Lily is the primary beneficiary now.
Evelyn gasped loudly as her eyes widened in total utter disbelief.
The power she held for forty years was slipping away forever.
