Julian pointed his right hand sternly toward Eleanor's pale face.
His voice boomed through the high ceiling of the luxury mansion.
Julian: Security officers, remove this woman from my property immediately!
Eleanor: You cannot throw me out, I am your legal wife!
Julian: My divorce lawyers will file the official paperwork tomorrow morning!
Two tall security guards stepped forward and grabbed Eleanor's arms.
Eleanor: Let go of me right now, you low class guards!
Guard: Ma'am, please walk quietly or we will call city police.
They escorted Eleanor down the remaining marble stairs toward the exit.
She tried to pull away, but the guards kept firm grip.
Her expensive diamond green dress looked ruined and wrinkled now.
The party guests moved back to give the guards clear path.
Nobody offered a single word of sympathy for the cruel woman.
Eleanor glanced back one last time with tears of deep regret.
Eleanor: Julian, please give me one more chance to explain!
Julian turned his back on her and held his son closer.
The large front oak doors opened and closed behind her back.
A heavy silence fell over the entire grand marble foyer.
Julian turned his attention to Maya standing bravely near them.
Julian: Maya, you saved my son's life and protected his future.
Maya: I promised his mother I would always watch over him.
Julian: I can never repay the immense courage you showed tonight.
Julian reached out his hand and shook Maya's hand with respect.
Julian: From this day on, you are the head manager of this mansion.
Julian: You will never have to serve food at parties ever again.
Maya wiped a happy tear from her eye and smiled softly.
Maya: Thank you Mr. Vance, I just wanted Leo to be safe.
Leo looked up from his father's coat and held Maya's hand.
Leo: Thank you Maya for being my brave hero tonight.
Julian turned to face all the invited corporate party guests.
Julian: Tonight we celebrate my son's official new trust fund!
The crowd broke into loud applause and cheerful congratulations everywhere.
