Victoria's hand cut through the air toward Sarah's cheek in a swift arc.
Before the palm could hit, Sarah reached up and grabbed Victoria's wrist firmly.
The sudden grip stopped Victoria's hand mid-air right in front of her face.
A sharp metallic clatter echoed through the room as Victoria's bracelet shook violently.
The entire room became completely silent as guests stared in total disbelief.
Victoria's eyes widened in utter shock as she tried to pull her hand back.
Victoria: How dare you touch me with your dirty hands, you servant!
Sarah stood up slowly from the cold floor, stepping forward with unwavering strength.
She released Victoria's wrist and stood tall in front of the wealthy heiress.
Sarah: You will never disrespect me or my mother ever again!
Victoria stumbled backward on her high heels, losing her balance for a moment.
She clutched her red sequin chest as her face flushed bright red with embarrassment.
Victoria: Someone call security and throw this ungrateful girl out immediately!
Julian: Don't you dare touch her, security stays right where they are!
Julian stepped through the crowd, his loud voice cutting through the heavy room.
He walked directly between Victoria and Sarah, facing his younger sister directly.
Victoria looked at her brother, expecting him to take her side instantly.
Victoria: Julian, thank goodness you are here to handle this crazy maid!
Julian: The only person acting crazy in this room tonight is you, Victoria.
Victoria gasped as her jaw dropped in absolute surprise and deep confusion.
The guests whispered loudly among themselves, turning their cameras toward the scene.
Victoria: She just put her hands on me in front of all our guests!
Julian: Because you were about to physically assault her for no reason at all!
Sarah stood behind Julian, her heart pounding loudly inside her tight chest.
She held the damp cloth in her hands, her knuckles turned pale white.
Julian turned around to look at Sarah with a soft, gentle expression.
Julian: Are you hurt, Sarah? Did she hurt you before I got here?
Sarah: I am okay, Julian, but I cannot take this mistreatment anymore.
Julian: You shouldn't have to take it for another single second today.
Julian looked back at Victoria with a stern and cold legal glare.
Julian: You have abused your position in this family mansion for far too long.
