Daniela took a USB drive out of her backpack.
“Rosa made copies of the audio recordings,” he said. “There are also videos from Mom’s old cell phone.”
Patricia was frozen.
For weeks, Daniela and Rosa had kept evidence: insults, threats, punishments, planted objects, and conversations in which Patricia spoke with a lawyer about modifying the trust after getting married.
I didn’t just want to get Rosa out.
She wanted to isolate the girls and get Emiliano to change the control of the family inheritance.
In one of the audio recordings, Patricia said:
“When I sign, those girls can cry all they want. The house will be mine.”
Emiliano listened to the recording without blinking.
Patricia tried to snatch the memory away, but Ramiro held her back.
“That’s illegal!” she shouted. “You can’t record me!”
“Explain it to the judge,” Emiliano replied.
When the officers arrived, Patricia went from being arrogant to crying.
She insisted that she loved the girls, that it had all been a misunderstanding, and that Emiliano was ruining her life.
The bracelet, the cameras, and the audio recordings confirmed the plan.
But justice did not erase the damage.
