The next morning, the mansion was filled with tense silence.
Margarethe walked briskly into the main security control office upstairs.
She opened the central computer panel using a master key code.
She located the digital video files from the hallway camera system.
With a quick click of the mouse, she deleted every single file.
Margarethe: Now there is no proof of what happened last night.
She smiled to herself and locked the security door behind her.
She walked down to the living room where police officers were waiting.
A detective named Officer Davis was standing near the fireplace.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, we need to inspect your security footage today.
Margarethe: Those files have been completely erased during a system glitch.
Officer Davis: That is very convenient timing for such an event, ma'am.
Margarethe: It was an technical error beyond my personal control.
Mark walked into the room carrying a small black electronic case.
He looked directly at Margarethe with a confident, strong posture.
Mark: The security cameras saw everything that happened, Margarethe.
Margarethe: I just told the officer that the system was wiped!
Mark: The butler kept backup drives of the entire hallway camera.
Margarethe's face turned completely pale as she stepped backward.
She gasped loudly and clutched her gold watch in shock.
Margarethe: You wouldn't dare use that backup drive against family!
Mark: You are not family to Hannah after what you did.
Officer Davis took the black case from Mark's hands carefully.
Officer Davis: We will bring this video evidence straight to court today.
Margarethe: This is a setup! He is trying to frame me!
Hannah walked into the room supported by a friendly nurse.
She looked at Margarethe without any fear in her eyes now.
Hannah: The truth is finally coming out today, Margarethe.
Margarethe turned around and stormed out toward her private car.
She demanded her lawyer meet her at the county courthouse immediately.
The stage was set for a dramatic showdown inside the courtroom.
