The police officers escorted everyone down to the spacious living room.
Mark sat on the leather sofa, keeping baby Leo tightly in his arms.
An officer took a detailed statement from Mark about the incident.
Victoria sat on the opposite chair, arms crossed tightly over her chest.
Her lawyer arrived fifteen minutes later wearing a sharp dark gray suit.
Lawyer Vance: My client has done nothing criminal here today.
Lawyer Vance: This is simply a tragic domestic custody dispute.
Mark: She threatened to ruin my life while holding my son!
Officer Miller: We are taking a full report of this situation.
Officer Miller stepped outside onto the porch to make a phone call.
Meanwhile, Mark's personal lawyer, Richard, walked through the open door.
Richard carried a thick manila folder crammed full of legal documents.
He placed the folder heavily onto the glass coffee table.
Richard: We have been tracking Victoria's financial moves for months.
Victoria: What is the meaning of this intrusion?
Richard: You opened offshore bank accounts using Mark's business credentials.
Victoria's face turned pale under the bright living room lights.
She tried to stand up, but an officer requested her to stay seated.
Richard: She transferred nearly two million dollars from the family trust fund.
Mark: Two million dollars?
Richard: Yes, Mark.
Richard: She was preparing to leave the country with sole legal custody.
Mark looked down at his son, who had finally fallen fast asleep.
He could not believe how close he came to losing his entire life.
Victoria glared at Richard with intense hatred in her dark eyes.
Victoria: That money was meant to rebuild my family's lost estate!
Mark: You used our marriage as a weapon from the very start.
Victoria: You took what belonged to my father first!
Mark: Your father lost that business due to his own illegal choices.
Officer Miller: That is enough out of everyone in this room.
Officer Miller re-entered the house holding his official notepad tightly.
He looked directly at Victoria with a firm, serious expression.
