Evelyn reached out to grab the paper from Julian's hands.
Julian moved the document away before she could touch it.
Two uniformed police officers walked into the grand dining room.
The guests stood up from their chairs in complete utter shock.
Officer: Evelyn Vance, you need to step forward right now.
Evelyn backed away until her back pressed against the table edge.
Evelyn: You cannot arrest me inside my own private house!
Officer: We have a warrant for fraud and child concealment, ma'am.
Sarah held Leo closer as the officers walked toward Evelyn.
Leo looked at the bright brass badges on the police uniforms.
Leo: Is that mean lady going away forever now, Mommy?
Sarah kissed the top of her son's head with gentle warmth.
Sarah: She will never hurt us ever again, my sweet boy.
Evelyn looked around the room begging her wealthy friends for help.
Every single guest turned their eyes away in total disgust now.
Nobody offered a word of support for the disgraced wealthy woman.
Evelyn: Julian, tell them this is all a huge misunderstanding!
Julian: I hired private investigators three months ago, Evelyn.
Julian looked at her with cold eyes without any remaining pity.
Julian: I found the bank records showing your illegal wire payments.
Julian: You paid two hundred thousand dollars to hide Sarah's child.
The guests shook their heads in total disbelief at the crime.
The officer placed metal handcuffs around Evelyn's trembling wrists.
She dropped her head as her proud demeanor shattered completely.
Evelyn: My reputation will be completely destroyed by tomorrow morning.
Julian: Your reputation is the least of your concerns tonight, Evelyn.
The police led Evelyn slowly out of the bright dining room.
Her heavy velvet dress dragged along the carpet as she walked.
The room fell silent as the heavy wooden doors closed tight.
Julian turned toward Sarah with a soft and warm smile.
Julian: You are finally free from her lies forever now, Sarah.
Sarah took a deep breath as relief filled her exhausted heart.
