The next morning, Mark walked firmly into the local police precinct building.
Evelyn sat behind a clean glass partition inside the visitor interrogation room.
She no longer wore her grand gold dress, looking tired in grey clothes.
Evelyn: Did you come here to mock me in this miserable place?
Mark: I came here to tell you that your legal empire is gone.
Evelyn leaned forward against the glass panel with a bitter expression.
Evelyn: You cannot strip me of my rightful place in the family business!
Mark: The legal audit revealed every single illegal transfer you ever made.
Evelyn's face turned pale as the realization hit her hard.
Evelyn: That money was meant to preserve our high family status in society!
Mark: You risked a baby's life to protect your greedy vanity.
Evelyn: I gave twenty years of my life to your father's estate!
Mark: And he rewarded you with a comfortable home and generous allowance.
Mark: But your endless greed made you turn on an innocent child.
Evelyn lowered her eyes as she ran out of lies to tell.
Evelyn: What will happen to the grand Dallas mansion now?
Mark: I have placed the entire house up for public sale today.
Evelyn gasped loudly as tears of regret finally filled her cold eyes.
Evelyn: You are selling my home to strangers?
Mark: It was never your home, Evelyn, it belonged to my father.
Mark: Every single dollar from the sale will go into my son's trust.
Officer Davis opened the metal door and stepped into the interrogation room.
Officer Davis: Visiting time is officially over now, Mr. Miller.
Mark stood up slowly and adjusted his jacket with calm confidence.
Mark: Goodbye, Evelyn, I hope you reflect on your terrible choices.
Evelyn watched in silent defeat as Mark walked out of the room.
The heavy iron door clicked shut behind him with a sharp sound.
Mark stepped outside into the warm morning air and took a deep breath.
He felt a massive weight lift off his shoulders for the first time.
His wife and son were waiting for him inside the silver car nearby.
Sarah waved to him from the passenger seat with a bright happy smile.
Sarah: How did it go inside the station, Mark?
Mark: It is finally over, my love, she can never hurt us again.
