Victoria: Julian! Are you insane?! You laid hands on me!
Julian: Keep your mouth shut before I lose control completely!
Toby: Papa, my back hurts... she hit me with the belt again...
Julian: Shh, Toby. Daddy has you now. You're safe.
Julian adjusted his grip on Toby, holding his small head against his shoulder while checking his arms for bruises[cite: 1].
Red, welted lines were already rising on the little boy's skin[cite: 1].
Julian: Look at what you did to my son, Victoria! Look at him!
Victoria: He disrespected me! He was running in the foyer and ruined my designer jacket!
Julian: He is seven years old! He is a baby!
Victoria: I am going to be his stepmother next month! I have a right to discipline him!
Rosa: That's a lie, Mr. Vance! She was beating him for no reason at all!
Rosa slowly pulled herself up from the marble floor, wincing as she rubbed her elbow[cite: 1].
Victoria: Shut your mouth, maid! You are fired! Pack your bags and get out!
Julian: She isn't going anywhere, Victoria. You are the one who is leaving.
Victoria: What did you just say to me?
Julian: You heard me. Get out of my house right now.
Victoria: You can't throw me out! We are engaged! My father owns twenty percent of your corporate stock!
Julian: I don't care if your father owns the entire world. Nobody touches my son!
Toby: Papa, she said... she said she was going to send me away to boarding school soon...
Julian: Boarding school? What is he talking about, Victoria?
Victoria: It was just a suggestion! He needs structure, Julian! You spoil him because his mother died!
Julian: Do not bring my late wife into this!
Victoria: Sarah is dead! You need a woman who can run this estate and discipline this boy!
Rosa: Mr. Vance, she's been hurting him for weeks! Every time you leave for the airport, she locks him in his room!
Julian's breath hitched as he looked down at Rosa, his face turning pale with disbelief[cite: 1].
Julian: Weeks? Rosa, why didn't you call me on my personal line?
Rosa: She took my phone, sir! She threatened to ruin my family if I told you anything!
Victoria: She's making up stories to save her job! You're going to take the word of a servant over your fiancee?!
Julian: Rosa has been loyal to this family for six years. You have been in this house for six months.
Victoria: Julian, sweetheart, listen to me. I was stressed today. The wedding planning is taking a toll on me...
Julian: Save your pathetic excuses. The engagement is over.
Victoria: You can't cancel the wedding! The contracts are signed!
Julian: Watch me nullify them before the sun sets today.
