Before Victoria could touch Elena, a heavy door slammed shut.
Arthur Vance strode out onto the patio with rapid footsteps.
He had forgotten his main briefcase and came back home early.
He stopped in his tracks when he saw the chaos outside.
Papers were floating on the blue surface of the pool.
Victoria was screaming with her hand raised in the air.
Elena was trembling while holding little baby Lily tightly.
Arthur's face turned completely dark with intense confusion and rage.
He walked directly toward the two women standing near the pool.
He asked what was happening in his house right now.
Victoria immediately changed her face and began to fake tears.
She ran toward Arthur and wrapped her arms around his arm.
She lied and said Elena was trying to steal the baby.
Victoria claimed she caught Elena trying to run away with Lily.
She begged Arthur to call the local police department immediately.
Elena shook her head firmly and stepped forward with confidence.
She told Arthur the real truth about Victoria's wicked plan.
She pointed at the scattered papers floating in the pool water.
Elena explained how Victoria tried to sell the adoption rights away.
She showed Arthur the hidden luggage packed near the back gate.
Arthur looked down at the pool and saw the adoption papers.
He recognized his own official signature on the floating sheets.
He pulled his arm away from Victoria with total disgust.
Victoria's face turned pale as her lie fell completely apart.
Arthur walked over to Elena and took his crying daughter gently.
He held baby Lily close to his beating heart until she calmed.
He looked at Elena and thanked her for her amazing bravery.
Then he turned his attention back to his deceitful wife.
Victoria tried to speak, but her words stumbled and failed.
She claimed she was only doing what was best for them.
She said an adopted child would ruin their family standing.
Arthur yelled at her to stop speaking her evil lies.
He realized he had married a woman with no heart.
The luxury mansion suddenly felt cold and full of betrayal.
Arthur pulled out his mobile phone from his dark jacket pocket.
He dialed his personal family divorce lawyer right away.
He told the lawyer to prepare emergency annulment documents immediately.
He demanded a complete freeze on all joint bank accounts.
Victoria gasped loudly when she heard his strict orders.
Her entire plan to steal the fortune had completely backfired.
