The dark security control room inside the mansion was quiet and tense.
Richard sat in the center leather chair directly in front of the monitors.
Arthur stood by the door, while Julian sat nearby in a spare wheelchair.
Evelyn stood in the corner, clutching her arms tight against her stomach.
Richard hit the play button on the digital video recorder console.
The high-definition monitor displayed the bright poolside scene clearly.
The timestamp at the bottom showed the exact time from twenty minutes ago.
On screen, Julian was sitting peacefully near the edge of the blue pool.
Evelyn appeared on camera, walking slowly up behind his chair.
The video clearly showed her checking the area to see if anyone was watching.
Then, her hands extended forward and shoved the wheelchair with full force.
The chair tipped violently, splashing into the water with terrible speed.
The video played on, showing Evelyn stepping back and doing absolutely nothing.
Richard slammed his heavy fist down on the wooden desk with full force.
The sharp sound made Evelyn jump back against the wall in fear.
Richard: You monster! He could have drowned in there!
Evelyn: Richard, please! I was stressed! I was not thinking clearly!
Richard: You tried to murder my son in cold blood!
Evelyn: You were giving everything to him! You left nothing for me in the prenuptial agreement!
Julian: So you wanted me dead just to get your hands on his money!
Evelyn: I devoted three years of my life to this family!
Richard: You devoted three years to plotting against my child!
Richard grabbed the office landline phone and dialed three digits rapidly.
Evelyn: What are you doing, Richard?! Please do not call them!
Richard: I am calling the police department to report an attempted murder.
Evelyn: We can settle this privately! Think of our family reputation!
Richard: You are no longer part of this family, Evelyn.
Two minutes later, the loud sirens echoed down the long private driveway outside.
