David Vance took a deep breath to regain his composure in front of everyone.
He looked down at his daughter Lily and patted her shoulder gently.
David: Thank you for being so brave and telling the truth today, Lily.
Lily: I love Clara, Daddy, she always takes such good care of us.
David turned toward Clara with a look of sincere remorse and deep gratitude.
David: Clara, I am deeply sorry for how you were treated just now.
Clara: Thank you sir, I only ever wanted to keep baby Leo safe.
David: You saved my son today, and you will always have a home here.
David then turned his attention back to Victoria who was backed against the wall.
The family attorney opened the legal folder and pulled out several signed papers.
Attorney: Victoria Sterling, you signed an agreement regarding honesty and family security.
Attorney: Creating a hazard in this house violates the terms of your contract completely.
Victoria: That contract is not valid until after the formal wedding ceremony!
Attorney: The clause regarding fraud and child endangerment took effect immediately upon signing.
Victoria clasped her hands together and looked up at David with tearful eyes.
She tried to reach for his hand, but David took a firm step backward.
Victoria: David, please, we can forget this ever happened and move forward!
Victoria: Think of our high society reputation and our grand Dallas wedding guest list!
David: My family's safety means far more to me than any fancy reputation.
David motioned for his two security guards to move closer to Victoria.
David: Marcus, call the local police department and inform them of fraud.
Victoria: You cannot arrest me in front of your servants and guests!
David: You brought this upon yourself the moment you endangered my children.
Marcus pulled out his phone and dialed the local emergency police dispatcher.
Victoria let out a loud cry of frustration and stomped her foot on marble.
She realized that her dream of living in luxury was officially over forever.
The high expectations she had for inheriting millions vanished in a single moment.
David: The wedding is canceled, and you will leave my property today.
