Arthur hurried across the wide foyer to reach his young son.
He knelt on the hard marble next to Sarah and Julian.
His hands shook as he checked his child for injuries.
Julian gripped his father's expensive suit jacket tightly.
Arthur: Are you hurt anywhere, my brave boy?
Julian: My ankle hurts, but Sarah saved me from falling further.
Arthur: You did a wonderful thing today, Sarah.
Sarah: I will always protect this sweet child, sir.
Victoria adjusted her expensive green dress with trembling fingers.
She forced a soft and innocent expression onto her face.
Victoria: Arthur darling, the boy is simply lying to you!
Arthur: Do not dare call me your darling today, Victoria.
Victoria: He tripped over his own oversized dress shoes!
Sarah: That is a complete lie and you know it!
Sarah: I saw you shove him with my own eyes!
Arthur stood up slowly and faced his young wife.
His face twisted into an expression of intense rage.
He took a step toward Victoria with determination.
Arthur: Why would you ever lay a hand on my son?
Victoria: I was only trying to correct his terrible manners!
Arthur: You have crossed a line you can never cross back.
Victoria backed up against the large polished wooden pillar.
She realized her comfortable life of luxury was in danger.
For months she had plotted to control the family estate.
She wanted the entire inheritance for herself and her allies.
Julian was the main obstacle standing in her selfish way.
The young boy held the rights to his mother's trust fund.
If Julian was out of the picture, Victoria controlled everything.
Arthur noticed the strange look of panic on her face.
Arthur: You never cared about this family at all.
Victoria: I brought elegance and class to your lonely home!
Arthur: You brought greed and deceit into our lives.
The security guards moved closer to seal off the exits.
Victoria looked around the large foyer like a trapped animal.
She knew the heavy mansion security cameras recorded every single room.
The truth was saved on the central server upstairs.
Arthur pointed toward the grand staircase with authority.
Arthur: We are going to check the security footage right now.
Victoria's face turned completely pale under the bright lights.
