A massive collective gasp rippled through the grand hall as people leaned in closer to see what was happening beneath the American flag. Victoria's face drained of all color, her arrogant smirk vanishing instantly into pure horror as she stared at the ring on the maid's finger. She took a quick step backward, her expensive lace dress rustling against the clean marble floor as her hands began to shake uncontrollably.
Victoria: Your... your wife?! David, what kind of ridiculous joke is this?! She is just a dirty servant!
David stood up smoothly from the floor, his tall frame completely blocking Victoria from Clara. He turned toward the arrogant woman with eyes full of utter disgust and burning fury. His voice boomed through the high ceiling of the luxury hall like thunder, shaking the light fixtures above.
David: Get out of my house! You mean nothing to me!
Victoria: David, please! We have a legal marriage contract prepared by your family trust attorneys!
David: That contract was rendered completely void the moment you put your hands on my legal wife and unborn child!
David pulled a thick legal document from his inner suit jacket pocket and tossed it onto the marble floor right at Victoria's feet. The white pages spread open under the bright daylight, revealing the official court stamp of their private legal marriage that had taken place six months ago, alongside the legal trust fund documents that named Clara as the sole beneficiary of the entire Sterling estate. Victoria gasped, dropping her golden purse as her knees wobbled in complete shock.
David: You were brought here today as a guest to celebrate our official family announcement, but you showed your true ugly colors before the party even started.
Victoria: I... I didn't know... She was wearing a maid uniform!
David: She wears what she pleases in her own home, and she was helping the staff prepare the tables because she has a good heart. Something you will never understand.
Victoria looked around the room in absolute panic, but the guests who had previously stayed silent were now glaring at her with utter contempt. Whispers broke out like wildfire through the crowd, pointing fingers at the humiliated woman who stood alone under the glaring sunlight. Security guards in black suits stepped forward from the back of the hall, marching straight toward Victoria with stern expressions.
David: Escort this cruel woman off my property immediately. If she ever sets foot near my wife again, file a full restraining order and press harassment charges.
Victoria: You can't do this to me! My family name will destroy your reputation!
David: Your family name means nothing in my house. Get her out of my sight.
