And then she did something that left them in shock. 😲😱

Water streamed from her, her dress clung to her body, her hands shook not from cold but from humiliation.
The grandson was still smiling, though less confidently now.
— Grandma, come on, it was just a joke…

She didn’t reply. Slowly, she took her phone out of her bag. Her fingers were wet, but she held it firmly.
— Hello. Police? I want to report an attempted murder. I have proof. The video will do.
Their faces changed instantly.
— What are you doing? — the daughter-in-law whispered, turning pale.
— What I should have done a long time ago, — the woman said calmly.
The daughter-in-law jerked suddenly and tried to delete the recording from her phone.
— We’ll delete everything right now and go home, Mom, don’t make a scene, — her son intervened.
But the elderly woman was faster. She snatched the phone from her daughter-in-law’s hands so abruptly that the woman didn’t even have time to react.
— Don’t even try, — she said quietly.
For the first time, the grandson stopped smirking.
— Grandma, you’re not serious…
— Your ill-mannered son will get what he deserves, — she interrupted, looking at the daughter-in-law. — And you’ll regret raising someone like that. Though he simply grew up to be just like you.
Her son stepped forward.
— Mom, you’re going too far. We’re family.
— Family doesn’t push someone who’s afraid and can’t swim into the water, — she replied.
She straightened up, as if the water had washed away not only the dirt but the fear.
— Tomorrow you will vacate my apartment. I will no longer support you. I don’t care that you have no money. You’re adults. Learn to be responsible for your actions.
No one laughed anymore.
— You will deeply regret treating me this way, — she said calmly.
In the distance, sirens could already be heard.
