Mateo lifted his small hand and pointed his finger directly at Victoria.
Every guest in the ballroom saw the child make his clear movement.
Victoria backed up a step as panic filled her wide frightened eyes.
She waved her hands in the air trying to excuse her mean action.
She knew that losing Arthur's trust meant losing her massive family allowance.
She tried to put on a sweet smile to trick the CEO.
Victoria: I didn't know who he was, Arthur, I swear to you!
Arthur: Then who left him alone at my private family gala dinner?
Mateo: She did, Dad. She told Elena to leave us behind.
Victoria: He is confused because of his heavy medical condition right now!
Elena: That is a complete lie and you know it very well!
Arthur: How dare you disrespect my son in my own private house!
Victoria felt her heart sink as the room filled with silent disapproval.
The wealthy guests shook their heads in disgust at her awful lies.
Arthur stepped forward until he stood just inches away from her face.
His voice echoed loudly across the wide ceilings of the high mansion.
He made sure everyone heard his complete rejection of her selfish life.
Victoria clutched her red cheeks in sudden embarrassment and deep deep shame.
She realized her plan to gain the family inheritance had failed completely.
Elena held Mateo's hand tightly as the truth finally won the fight.
The small boy felt safe because his strong father stood beside him.
Arthur: You thought you could bully a child in my home today?
Victoria: Please, Arthur, we are family and can fix this quietly!
Arthur: Family protects one another. You only think about your money.
Victoria: I have given years of work to your big business board!
Arthur: Today your career in my company comes to an official end.
Victoria gasped as her dreams of fortune washed away in seconds.
