Arthur stepped toward Margaret with pure paternal fury in his eyes.
Margaret tried to cover her face with her hands, backing toward the wall.
Arthur: How dare you touch my flesh and blood!
Margaret: Arthur, please! We can fix this! Don't ruin our marriage!
Arthur: Our marriage is completely over!
Arthur: You will rot in a federal cell for attempted murder!
Margaret dropped to her knees on the hard marble floor in desperation.
Her sparkling champagne gown crumpled around her as she began to sob for real.
Margaret: Please don't call the police! Think about my reputation!
Arthur: You never cared about this child's life for even one second!
Arthur pulled his cell phone from his pocket with swift determination.
He pressed the speed dial for his private security team guarding the gate.
Arthur: Police, take this criminal away!
Arthur: Bring the officers upstairs to the main living room immediately!
Margaret looked up from the floor, her eyes filled with bitter hatred toward Elena.
Margaret: You ruined everything, you miserable servant!
Margaret: You were supposed to be downstairs taking care of the laundry!
Elena stood tall beside Arthur, holding the warming baby close to her chest.
Elena: My job is to protect this family, including this helpless child.
Elena: You thought your money made you invisible, but truth always wins.
Heavy footsteps echoed from the outer hallway as uniform officers arrived.
Two security guards entered the grand living room under the bright daylight.
Arthur pointed a firm finger at the woman kneeling on the floor.
Arthur: Escort this woman out of my house and hand her to the police.
The guards moved quickly and restrained Margaret by her arms.
Margaret: Get your hands off me! I am Margaret Vance!
Guard: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
They pulled Margaret up off the floor as she screamed curses at everyone.
Arthur turned his back on her completely, refusing to look at her again.
The heavy doors closed behind Margaret as her cries faded into the distance.
The quiet room finally felt peaceful under the high ceilings.
