Arthur immediately crouched down and scooped Lily tightly into his arms.
He pulled her small body against his double-breasted suit chest protectively.
Arthur: Shh... you are safe now, sweetie, Daddy is right here.
Lily wrapped her arms around her father's neck, sobbing into his shoulder.
Lily: Daddy, she threw my bear and ripped my family picture!
Arthur smoothed down his daughter's soft hair with his trembling hand.
He stood up slowly, keeping a firm grip on his precious child.
Loretta held her hands up nervously, backing away toward the wall flag.
Loretta: Arthur, please calm down so we can discuss this privately.
Arthur: There is nothing left for us to discuss ever again.
Maria stood up from the floor and handed Lily's plush bear back.
Maria: She threatened to fire me if I stepped in to help.
Loretta: Maria is lying to save her job because she made mistakes!
Arthur pointed a commanding finger straight at Loretta's pale face.
Arthur: I watched you push my loyal housekeeper with my own eyes!
Loretta gasped softly, realizing she had been caught completely red-handed.
The security guards stepped forward, blocking the hallways and exit routes.
Loretta: I was just trying to bring proper structure to your home!
Arthur: You brought fear, cruelty, and emotional abuse into my home!
Lily peeked over her father's shoulder, feeling safe in his arms.
Arthur looked at Loretta with total disgust and unwavering stern resolve.
Arthur: You thought you could hide your true nature from me forever.
Loretta: Arthur, I love you, please do not ruin our relationship!
Arthur: My daughter's safety and happiness mean more than anything else.
He signaled his head security guard to move in closer immediately.
Arthur: Escort this woman to her room so she packs her bags.
