David set small Lily down gently on the cool marble behind his boots.
He stepped directly into Victoria's space while pointing a finger at her face.
Victoria threw her arms in the air and raised her voice to a shout.
Victoria: Get this trash out of my mansion right now before I call police!
David: Call them! Let the police find out how you treat innocent children!
Victoria stepped back carelessly and backed right into a brass luggage cart standing near.
The heavy luggage rack tipped over, sending expensive leather designer bags crashing down.
The loud clatter of metal and leather echoed through the large marble reception hall.
Victoria scrambled back onto her feet while her face flushed bright red with shame.
Victoria: You ruined everything! You were never supposed to find out about the trust!
David stopped moving for a second as the word hung in the air.
David: What trust fund are you talking about, Victoria? Speak up right now!
Mark grabbed Victoria by her arm and tried to pull her back into the room.
Mark: Victoria, keep your mouth shut! You are saying way too much right now!
David: No, let her speak! What trust fund did you steal from my kids?
Leo looked up at his father with tears still wet on his cheeks.
Leo: Dad, grandfather said he left a house for us before he died.
David realized in an instant why Mark had tried to hide the children today.
Their late grandfather had passed away only two short months prior to this day.
Mark had claimed there was no will left behind by their wealthy late father.
David: You stole their legal inheritance so you could buy this massive mansion!
