Mark read the financial numbers out loud in front of the entire party.
He listed every single fake contract Victoria had created secretly.
She had stolen three million dollars from the family estate fund.
She used the money to fund her own fake luxury business in Florida.
The guests began to whisper and point their fingers at her.
Victoria: He is lying to destroy my good reputation!
Mark: The auditor signed these papers two hours ago!
Two city police officers walked onto the patio through the side gate.
Mark had called them before he kicked the grand table over.
Victoria backed up into the broken cake spread on the ground.
Her high heels slipped on the sweet frosting, making her stumble down.
Her gold dress got completely soaked in dirty red cherry filling.
The crowd pulled out their phones to record her deep embarrassment.
Officer: Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for grand larceny and fraud.
Victoria: Mother, help me do something right now!
Eleanor turned her back on her daughter without saying a single word.
She knew the family name was completely ruined by this massive scandal.
The police clicked silver handcuffs onto Victoria's trembling wrists.
They led her away through the messy crowd of rich onlookers.
She sobbed loudly as she walked past the ruined pie on the floor.
Leo watched silently from behind his father's tall frame.
Mark squeezed his son's small hand gently to offer comfort.
Mark: You never have to fear them ever again, Leo.
