Evelyn managed to stand up with the help of the nearby wooden table.
She looked at her son with tired eyes that carried years of quiet sacrifice.
Julian took her hand to make sure she felt completely safe and secure.
Victoria refused to leave the room and stood her ground near the stairs.
She pulled out her phone and threatened to call her powerful attorney father.
She believed her family status would shield her from any real consequences.
Julian smiled coldly because he had already suspected her greedy motives for weeks.
He had hired a private investigator to check her financial history before the wedding.
He pulled a thick white envelope out from inside his navy suit pocket.
Victoria's eyes went wide when she recognized the legal seal on the paper.
Julian: Did you really think I did not check your heavy debts?
Victoria: What are you talking about right now?
Julian: You wanted our estate to cover your ruined family business!
Victoria: That is a complete lie created to turn you against me!
Evelyn: Show respect, young lady, before you lose everything today.
Victoria snapped her head toward Evelyn with extreme hatred in her eyes.
She took a quick step forward as if she wanted to grab the envelope.
Julian blocked her path immediately and stood taller than her.
He dropped the heavy papers onto the glass coffee table nearby.
The documents showed massive bank loans that Victoria had tried to hide.
She had planned to take control of the mansion right after signing the prenup.
Evelyn had caught Victoria looking through confidential estate files earlier that morning.
That discovery was the real reason Victoria had turned aggressive toward the old woman.
Victoria realized her plan had completely failed right in front of her eyes.
Her face went pale as the reality of her situation hit her hard.
She looked around the luxury foyer that she would never own.
Victoria: Julian, we can talk about this privately in the office!
Julian: There is nothing left for us to discuss anymore.
Victoria: You are making a huge mistake leaving me!
Julian turned his back on her to focus entirely on his mother.
