The silence in the grand marble foyer was heavy and terrifying after David's sharp declaration.
Elena froze on the marble steps, her mouth opening in shock as her face turned pale.
She had never seen David express such immense, unyielding fury during their entire relationship.
David: GET OUT OF MY HOUSE RIGHT NOW!
Elena: David, please, let us sit down in the office and talk!
David: DO NOT TAKE ANOTHER STEP TOWARD MY DAUGHTER!
Elena: You are throwing away our future based on a maid's word!
David: Maria has protected this family longer and better than you ever could!
Maria: You need to leave before the police arrive, Miss Elena.
Elena looked at Maria with pure hatred, realizing that her grand plan had completely collapsed.
She stomped down the remaining marble steps, her sharp black heels clicking loudly on the stone.
She tried to reach for David's hand, but he pulled back with utter disgust in his eyes.
Elena: You will regret treating me like this, David!
David: The only thing I regret is letting you near my innocent daughter!
Elena: I gave up everything to move into this mansion with you!
David: You came here to steal her inheritance and ruin our lives!
David pulled out his mobile phone from his jacket pocket with a steady, determined hand.
He dialed his personal security team and the local police department without taking his eyes off her.
David: I am reporting an intruder and child endangerment at my address immediately.
Elena: Are you completely out of your mind?! Put that phone down!
David: You have two minutes to leave before security escorts you out in handcuffs.
Elena gasped in disbelief, realizing that David was completely serious about pressing criminal charges.
She grabbed her expensive leather handbag from the hallway side table with a sudden jerk.
Her face twisted with frustration as she realized her access to the millions was gone forever.
Without saying another word, she turned on her heels and marched toward the heavy doors.
She slammed the massive double mahogany doors shut behind her with a booming echo that filled the house.
The loud echo faded slowly, leaving the grand white foyer peaceful and quiet once again.
David let out a deep, heavy breath as he turned back to face his daughter and Maria.
