Mark walked over to the hallway console table and reached for his personal leather briefcase.
He pulled out his smartphone and dialed the direct private line of his senior divorce lawyer.
Mark: Robert, I need you at my house immediately with full legal paperwork.
Lawyer: Is everything alright at the estate, Mark?
Mark: I am filing for an emergency annulment and kicking Victoria out today.
Victoria stepped forward into the hallway with a look of sudden panic on her face.
Victoria: You cannot just throw me out without honoring our signed prenup agreement!
Mark: Watch me review every single clause of that contract with my legal team.
Mark walked toward his private home office while holding Lily gently by her small hand.
He opened the heavy oak door and walked directly over to his massive metal safe.
He noticed that the electronic keypad on the safe door was displaying a yellow error light.
Someone had attempted to enter an incorrect security password multiple times earlier that morning.
He turned around and stared sternly at Victoria who had followed them down the hall.
Mark: Were you trying to open my private legal safe while I was out of town?
Victoria: I was only looking for my personal jewelry papers that were stored inside.
Mark: My safe holds my daughter's inheritance papers and my original family trust documents!
Lily looked up at her father with wide blue eyes full of curious worry.
Lily: Daddy, she had a man in dark clothes inside your office yesterday morning.
Mark: What man was in my private office, Lily?
Lily: A man with a black folder was looking through your metal filing cabinets.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as the truth was exposed by the young child.
Mark immediately realized what his ambitious wife had been secretly planning during his trip.
She had brought a crooked estate agent into his house to alter his property deeds.
She wanted to strip Lily of her rightful inheritance before Mark ever noticed the changes.
Mark: You tried to steal my child's future while I was away on business.
Victoria: It was all supposed to be spent on our future children together!
Mark: There will never be a future between us after what you did today.
