Mark stormed up the marble staircase, his sharp black suit matching his dark, furious mood.
He reached the second-floor balcony in seconds and stood directly in front of his wife.
The prominent American flag hung behind them on the high wall of the bright foyer.
Mark: Get out of my house right now! Never show your face here ever again!
Victoria: Mark, please listen to me, the maid is lying to you about everything!
Mark: Shut your mouth! Arthur showed me the forged signature pages on your private desk!
Victoria gasped loudly as she realized that the butler had also witnessed her crimes today.
She looked around frantically, but there was nowhere left for her to run or hide.
Mark: You married me for my family wealth, and you tried to rob my baby!
Victoria: I deserve a share of this estate after everything I have done for you!
Mark: You deserve nothing except a cell in a state prison for committing total fraud!
Mark reached out and grabbed the forged document folder from Victoria's trembling hands immediately.
He opened the folder and saw his own forged signature written clearly across the paper pages.
Mark: You thought you could fool me and steal my daughter's future while I was away!
Victoria: It was just a legal adjustment, Mark, we could have shared everything together!
Mark: You are a disgusting monster, and our marriage is officially over as of right now!
Mark turned his back on Victoria and walked over to where Elena was kneeling nearby.
He gently took baby Lily into his arms and held her close against his chest.
Mark: Are you and the baby okay, Elena? Did she harm either of you today?
Elena: We are safe, Mr. Sterling, thanks to Arthur alerting you in time to return.
Mark: You showed unbelievable courage today, Elena, and I will never forget your loyalty.
Victoria tried to walk past Mark toward the master bedroom to grab her expensive jewelry.
Mark stepped into her path, his tall frame completely blocking the long second-floor hallway.
Mark: You will not take a single luxury item from this mansion when you leave today!
Victoria: You cannot leave me with nothing, Mark, I am still legally your wedded wife!
Mark: My divorce lawyers are already preparing the emergency paperwork right at this very moment.
Two police officers stepped through the front entrance doors downstairs, called earlier by loyal Arthur.
They walked up the stairs with stern expressions, ready to handle the illegal fraud attempt.
Mark: Officers, this woman attempted to forge legal financial records and commit grand theft.
Officer: Mrs. Sterling, you need to come with us to the police station right now.
Victoria began to cry tears of embarrassment and anger as the officers placed her in cuffs.
The household staff watched from below as the evil stepmother was led out in disgrace.
Her reign of terror in the Sterling mansion had officially come to a complete end.
Elena stood up from the floor, feeling the heavy burden finally lift off her shoulders.
The family was finally safe from the evil woman who had tried to ruin them.
