Arthur knelt down beside Martha and gently helped her stand up.
He led her over to a plush sofa near the entrance.
Arthur: Rest here, Martha. Clara, please bring her some water.
Clara nodded quickly and hurried off toward the quiet kitchen.
Arthur turned back toward Victoria with a cold, harsh expression.
He pulled his modern smartphone out from his dark suit jacket.
The estate was protected by high-definition security cameras in every room.
Arthur tapped the screen to open the live security camera app.
He pulled up the video recordings from the main foyer area.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she watched him tap.
Victoria: Arthur, there is no need to check any foolish cameras.
Victoria: I am your fiancee! You should trust my word over theirs.
Arthur ignored her completely and watched the clear video playback.
He saw Victoria cornering Martha while yelling harsh insults repeatedly.
He saw her slam the mop handle right near Martha's feet.
He saw the sheer terror on the sweet old woman's face.
Arthur's hands began to shake with pure, boiling anger.
Arthur: You lied right to my face without even blinking.
He pointed the phone screen directly toward Victoria's nervous face.
Arthur: Look at the camera footage, Victoria. Look at it!
Victoria glanced at the clear video playing on the screen.
She realized there was no way to deny her cruel actions.
She shifted her tone from innocent to arrogant in a second.
Victoria: So what? She is just a paid servant in your house.
Victoria: You are a wealthy man, Arthur. You need strong standards.
Victoria: I am trying to fix how lax this entire estate has become.
Arthur stared at her as if seeing her for the first time.
He remembered the huge prenup document sitting inside his dropped briefcase.
He realized what a massive mistake he had almost made with her.
Arthur: You think money makes you better than everyone else here?
Victoria: We belong to high society, Arthur! We must command respect!
Arthur: You do not respect anyone. You only care about power.
Victoria crossed her arms and sneered at him with total contempt.
Victoria: You cannot treat me like this over a simple maid.
Arthur: She is family to me. You are a complete stranger.
