Chapter 7 - The Brave Truth
Evelyn stood frozen at the foot of the stage, her mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water, completely unable to utter a single word of defense.
David rushed up to the stage, grabbing Laura’s shoulder in a frantic attempt to take the microphone away.
"Laura! You've ruined my sister's life! Stop this right now!" David yelled, his voice cracking with pathetic desperation.
Before David could touch the microphone, five-year-old Leo stepped boldly between his father and mother.
The little boy stood tall in his dark blue suit beside his mother, pointing a small, resolute finger toward the main stage microphone as the entire room fell dead silent.
"Mommy said I should never be afraid to tell the truth," Leo said, his clear, brave voice broadcasting through the speakers. "Grandma hit me because I saw her hide Aunt Brenda's stolen money in her purse!"
The room erupted into absolute chaos. Mark’s father signaled to his legal team sitting nearby.
"The wedding is off!" Mark shouted, yanking off his boutonnierre and tossing it onto the floor. "You people are nothing but common thieves!"
