Julian raised his left hand toward the grand hall stage where security stood.
Two large security officers marched quickly over to the head dinner table setting.
Julian: Escort this woman and her daughter off the premises immediately.
Victoria: You cannot kick me out of a public charity event, Julian!
Julian: I funded this entire banquet, so I decide who stays here!
The guests began clapping quietly as the guards stepped behind cold Victoria.
Victoria looked around the huge banquet hall with deep shock and shame.
Her face flushed bright red as dozens of cameras flashed in her eyes.
Local news reporters had been recording the entire dramatic fight on camera.
Julian took his smartphone out of his pocket and called his head attorney.
Julian: Freeze all joint bank accounts and change the mansion door codes.
Victoria: You are bluffing, you would never cut my credit cards!
Julian: Check your banking app right now and see for yourself, Victoria.
Victoria pulled her gold smartphone out of her small red clutch bag.
Her screen flashed a bright red alert showing all cards were locked.
She gasped loudly as her knees went weak in front of everyone.
Victoria: Please Julian, we can talk about this inside our private car!
Julian: There is nothing left to talk about between us ever again.
The security officers took Victoria firmly by her upper arms and turned.
They escorted her down the central aisle toward the massive exit doors.
Stella followed quickly behind her mother with her head hung down low.
The banquet room erupted into loud cheers as the double doors closed shut.
Julian stood tall beside his small daughter while holding her warm hand.
He leaned down and kissed Maya's forehead with soft deep fatherly love.
Julian: You will never have to worry about that woman ever again.
Maya: Thank you for saving Mom's special letter for me, Daddy.
Julian picked Maya up in his arms and walked back toward table.
He felt a deep relief knowing he had protected his precious family.
