Driven by intense rage at her utter lack of remorse, Carter stepped forward rapidly. Before Victoria could react, Carter swung his open palm and violently slapped her across her face. A sharp, loud smack sound echoed sharply across the luxury courtyard.
Victoria's head turned hard from the heavy impact, her gold earring flying off into the bushes. She shrieked in sudden pain and held her red, burning cheek with both hands. She stumbled back a step, looking at Carter with wild, disbelieving eyes.
Victoria: You slapped me?! How dare you lay a hand on me!
Carter: I gave you my trust, my home, and my heart, and you used it to ruin people!
Victoria: I am your fiancée! You cannot treat me like this over a maid!
Carter: You are nothing to me now! The wedding is officially canceled!
Victoria tried to lung forward to grab his suit jacket, screaming at the top of her lungs. Carter did not hesitate for a single second. He raised his arm and forcefully shoved Victoria backward with all his strength, sending her stumbling hard down the marble stairs.
Victoria fell backward with a heavy thud, her heels slipping off the edge of the steps. She rolled down three steps before crashing hard onto the lower courtyard landing. Her glamorous golden dress was torn, covered in dirt and dust from the floor.
Carter: GET OFF MY PROPERTY AND OUT OF MY LIFE!
Victoria: Carter! You can't do this to me! My family will ruin you!
Carter: Try it! I will send this video footage straight to the news and the court!
The police officer immediately stepped forward, pulling out a second pair of steel handcuffs. He unlatched Elena's wrists first, freeing the poor maid who collapsed to her knees in immense emotional relief. The officer then walked straight over to Victoria, who was crying pathetic tears on the dirty ground.
Officer: Ma'am, you are under arrest for filing a false police report and framing an innocent citizen.
Victoria: Get your filthy hands off me! Do you know who my father is?!
Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in court.
The second officer grabbed Victoria firmly by the arms, pulling her up from the pavement. Victoria struggled furiously, her gold dress ruined, her hair wild and messy. She screamed Carter's name over and over, but Carter turned his back on her completely, refusing to give her a single glance.
