Vince slammed his broad palm down onto the top surface of the mahogany desk.
The heavy sound echoed through the high ceilings of the bright modern home.
He stepped out of the study and confronted the lawyer in the wide white corridor.
Vince Morana: What did you do to my WiFi right now, Bellum?!
Lawyer Bellum: I am simply preventing unauthorized access to unsecure digital files, sir.
Lily ran to the main server box and quickly pulled out the backup memory card.
She held the micro storage card high in the air for her grandfather to see.
Lily: I saved the offline files on this card yesterday morning, Grandpa!
Clara gasped loudly and tried to grab the tiny memory card from the child's hand.
Vince stepped directly between his stepdaughter and little Lily to protect his small grandchild.
His tall frame blocked the hall completely as he pointed toward the front door entrance.
Vince Morana: Do not move another single inch toward this child today, Clara.
Clara: She is destroying our family legacy over a silly misunderstanding, Vince!
Vince Morana: You destroyed this family the moment you signed your name to Bellum's plot.
Attorney Bellum turned around quickly and moved fast toward the solid oak front door.
He reached for the metallic brass handle hoping to escape before the police arrived.
The heavy front door suddenly swung open from the outside before he could touch it.
Two local police officers stepped into the foyer with their badges displayed clearly forward.
A local family detective walked in right behind them holding an active search warrant paper.
Lily had sent an emergency alert code through her phone app ten minutes ago.
Detective: Nobody leave this main foyer area until we review these financial records.
Bellum froze near the entrance wall while holding his dark leather briefcase very tightly.
Clara sank down onto the nearby white sofa while covering her face with hands.
The bright daylight exposed every single lie that had been carefully built for months.
Vince breathed out a long slow breath and held his granddaughter very close.
The truth was finally standing out clear and plain for everyone in the room.
