When Genevieve’s ex-husband, Anthony, gifted their son a rocking horse, she sensed something was wrong. Her instincts were confirmed when she noticed strange noises coming from the toy.
Anthony arrived with a grin, saying, “Thought Ethan might like this.” Despite his charm, Genevieve was wary. After Anthony left, she heard a clicking noise coming from the rocking horse. Investigating, she discovered a hidden voice recorder inside. “Anthony was trying to gather evidence against me,” she realized.
Genevieve immediately called her lawyer, Susan, who reassured her that such evidence was inadmissible in court. “Any evidence gathered this way is inadmissible,” Susan confirmed. Taking her advice, Genevieve filled the recorder with mundane TV sounds to frustrate Anthony.
When Anthony later retrieved the recorder, Genevieve’s plan worked. His silence confirmed his defeat. Genevieve felt a surge of relief and triumph, knowing she had protected her son and outsmarted her ex.
