She Drenched the Bride in Champagne at the Altar — Until Her Phone Played the Hidden Recording

The second audio clip echoed crystal clear through the outdoor garden speakers, cutting off Grace's hysterical defense in an instant:

"Your daddy thinks I love him, but I only care about this house and his black credit card. Once the ring is on my finger, you're going straight to boarding school in Switzerland, you little brat."

A wave of loud murmurs rippled across the wedding guests. Several of Grace’s own bridesmaids took a step back on the pavilion steps, looks of disgust washing over their faces.

Mark felt the ground beneath his feet shake. He remembered all the times Leo had cried at night over the past six months, complaining that his stomach hurt whenever Mark went out of town for business trips. Mark had assumed it was basic childhood separation anxiety. He had trusted Grace to tuck him into bed every single night.

"You talked to my son like that?" Mark whispered, stepping closer to Grace, his eyes bloodshot with rage and betrayal. "In his own home? While I was away working to build a life for us?"

"Mark, listen to me!" Grace begged, her voice trembling violently as she tried to grab his lapels. "I was stressed! The boy was misbehaving! He kept bringing up his dead mother to upset me! I didn't mean it!"

"He is six years old, Grace!" Catherine shouted, her restrained composure finally breaking into fierce maternal protection. "He was grieving his mother, and you used his grief to torment him!"

Grace’s face twisted into a snarl, discarding her tearful victim act entirely. "So what?! He’s a spoiled child who needs discipline! You think you've won, old woman? Mark signed the prenuptial agreement amendments this morning! We are legally bound!"
