The warm summer breeze blew the American flag hanging on the wall.
Guests stopped talking among themselves as the tension grew extremely thick.
Leo walked slowly toward the long centerpiece banquet dining table.
The heavy wooden table was loaded with multi-tiered cakes and silver dishes.
Thousands of dollars worth of gourmet food sat resting on crisp linen.
Leo: You have treated me like an outsider for twenty long years.
Beatrice: Because you were never worthy of carrying your father's name.
Leo: My father loved me, and he loved my son too.
Beatrice: Your father is gone, and I run this estate now.
Victoria: Take your child and leave before we call private security.
Leo looked down at the opulent display of luxury and wealth around.
These people cared more about status than basic human kindness or love.
He placed his hands under the thick edge of the massive table.
With one swift and powerful lift, he shoved the table forward violently.
The massive wooden banquet table flipped completely over onto its side.
Plates of food, crystal bowls, and tiered cakes crashed onto stone.
A massive sound of shattering glass and squishing food filled the patio.
Several women screamed in shock and jumped back in complete panic.
Red wine and hot soups splashed across Beatrice's emerald green dress.
Beatrice: My dress! Look what you have done, you absolute monster!
Victoria: Are you out of your mind, Leo? You destroyed everything!
Leo stood tall amidst the scattered wreck of food and glass pieces.
His two large bodyguards stepped up right behind his broad shoulders.
Leo: You crossed the line today! Get out of my sight right now!
Beatrice: You cannot order me around in my own lavish house!
Leo: This is not your house anymore, Beatrice, not after today.
Beatrice gasped loudly and clutched her pearl necklace with shaking fingers.
Her face turned completely pale as she saw the sheer fury in Leo.
Beatrice: Security! Throw this aggressive man off my private property immediately!
None of the household security guards moved a single step forward toward Leo.
They knew who really held authority over the family security detail here.
Leo: They do not answer to your commands anymore, stepmother.
Victoria: What are you talking about? Mom owns this entire property!
Leo: Julian, bring out the official leather binder right now, please.
The family lawyer, Julian, stepped out from the main glass doors.
He carried a heavy black leather document folder inside his hands firmly.
Julian: Good afternoon, everyone, I have the final trust documents here.
Beatrice glared at the attorney with sudden fear creeping into her eyes.
Beatrice: The estate meeting was scheduled for three o'clock this afternoon!
Julian: The terms take effect the moment Leo arrives on the grounds.
