David turned his full attention back to the weeping small girl.
He kneeled down on the floor to match her small height.
David: Are you hurt anywhere, my sweet little girl?
Lily shook her head slowly while wiping away her heavy tears.
Lily: She said I ruined your special party today, Daddy.
David felt a sharp pain deep inside his aching chest now.
David: You could never ruin anything for me, my darling child.
He stood back up to face Victoria with total fierce determination.
Victoria tried to fix her messy hair with trembling cold fingers.
She saw the angry looks from the many surrounding party guests.
Her wealthy real estate clients were standing right near the front.
She knew her reputation was falling apart in this very minute.
Victoria: You are overreacting to a tiny moment, David listen.
David: We are completely done with this whole fake marriage idea!
Victoria: You cannot throw away our future over one small mistake!
David: Get out of my house and leave our lives forever!
Victoria gasped loudly at his cold and final severe spoken words.
She looked around for help from her close personal friends nearby.
Every single guest turned their eyes away from her desperate look.
Nobody took her side after seeing how she treated young Lily.
David reached into his suit jacket and pulled out his phone.
He called his family lawyer right there in front of everyone.
David: Cancel the engagement paperwork and change the house locks today.
Victoria stepped forward to try and grab David's dark suit sleeve.
Victoria: David, please think about your status and my business name!
David took a firm step back away from her reaching hand.
David: My daughter's safety is worth more than any status, Victoria.
A security officer walked quickly over from the main hall door.
David motioned toward Victoria with a single stern hand gesture now.
David: Please escort this woman out of the building right now.
The officer put his hand near his belt and nodded once.
Security Guard: Ma'am, you need to leave the premises immediately today.
Victoria looked at the officer and then back at firm David.
She knew she had lost complete control of this dark situation.
She picked up her white designer purse from the table edge.
Her face was pale and cold as she turned toward exit.
