David placed the blue legal folder safely into his dark jacket.
Victoria stood frozen in the wide hallway outside the bedroom entrance.
Victoria: You have no right to remove family papers from here.
David: These belong to Sarah as the named executor of the estate.
Sarah took her daughter's hand and stepped out into the hall.
She felt stronger now that she knew the real written truth.
Sarah: You lied to me when my father died two years ago.
Victoria: I protected this estate from your wasteful spending habits!
Sarah: I never spent money foolishly, I worked two simple jobs.
David: You kept her in fear so you could control the money.
Victoria shook her head and turned around toward the grand stairs.
She walked down the stairs quickly to reach her private office.
David and Sarah followed her down at a calm steady pace.
Little Emily held her mother's hand tightly as they walked down.
Emily: Are we staying in our big house forever now, Mommy?
Sarah: Yes my darling, nobody is going to force us out.
They reached the lower floor where the red roses sat quietly.
Victoria was inside her office holding a black landline phone receiver.
Victoria: I am calling security to remove you from my home!
David: Go ahead and call the police, we welcome their arrival.
Victoria stopped dialing the phone numbers and set the receiver down.
She knew the police would inspect the legal papers immediately today.
Her hands began to shake as she sat behind her desk.
Sarah: Why did you do this to my family for years?
Victoria: I deserved half of everything he built during his life!
David: You received a generous settlement specified in his life insurance.
Sarah remembered the insurance money paid out two years ago clearly.
Victoria had received a large cash sum after the funeral service.
Sarah: You got hundreds of thousands of dollars from the insurance.
Victoria: That was not enough to maintain my high lifestyle standard!
David: Greed made you make terrible decisions against this child.
Emily looked inside the office room at the angry stepgrandmother.
Emily: Why were you mean to my mommy every single day?
Victoria stayed quiet and refused to look at the little girl.
The heavy silence in the office made the air feel thick.
David pulled his phone out and pressed a quick speed dial.
David: Hello Marcus, I have the original will document right here.
His attorney friend answered the call on the second soft ring.
David: We need an emergency court injunction filed within two hours.
Victoria sank back into her leather office chair in total defeat.
She knew that her legal fight was over before it began.
David finished speaking on the phone and tucked it away again.
David: My lawyer is meeting us at the city probate court.
Sarah: I am ready to sign every necessary legal document today.
They walked toward the heavy front door near the bright glass.
Victoria watched them leave from the open door of her office.
She realized she had lost control over the entire mansion property.
The sunlight washed over the white marble floor near the entry.
David held the front door open for Sarah and little Emily.
They stepped out into the warm fresh air of the afternoon.
