Victoria: You are calling the police on your own fiancee?! Think about the headlines, Julian! The scandal will destroy Vance Enterprises!
Julian: The only thing getting destroyed today is your life, Victoria.
Within thirty seconds, four heavy security officers in black uniforms marched through the grand arch doors[cite: 1].
Security Officer: Mr. Vance! What's the emergency?
Julian: Restrain this woman. Do not let her step foot out of this foyer until the police arrive.
Victoria: Get your filthy hands off me! Do you know who my father is?!
The guards moved in quickly, holding Victoria firmly by her arms as she kicked and screamed[cite: 1].
Security Officer: We have her secured, sir.
Julian: Pull up the main security server on the wall monitor right now.
Victoria: No! Turn that off! You can't record me without my permission!
Julian: This is my house, Victoria. Every corner of this foyer is covered by high-definition cameras[cite: 1].
The guard tapped a tablet screen, and the massive display above the fireplace flickered to life[cite: 1].
Clear, high-key video footage from ten minutes ago played across the screen[cite: 1].
The video showed Victoria raising the belt high above her head, striking little Toby while he cried on the marble floor[cite: 1].
It showed Rosa running forward to protect him, and Victoria violently shoving the maid into the wall[cite: 1].
Rosa: Look at that, ma'am. Tell the police I'm making up stories now.
Julian: You were hitting a defenseless child with full force. It's all captured in crystal-clear 4K video.
Victoria stopped struggling, her face draining of all color as she stared at the screen[cite: 1].
Victoria: Julian... please... don't give that tape to the cops. My father's career will be over!
Julian: Your father helped you draft these forged trust papers! He belongs in a cell right next to you!
Victoria: I'll leave! I'll sign a waiver! I'll never come near Toby again! Just let me walk away!
Julian: You don't get to bargain after what you did to my family.
Sirens echoed in the distance, growing louder as police cars turned down the long estate driveway[cite: 1].
Toby: Papa, are the police going to take the bad lady away?
Julian: Yes, baby. She is going away for a very long time.
Toby: Will she ever come back?
Julian: Never. I promise you, Toby. Nobody will ever hurt you in this house again.
The front doors opened, and three uniformed police officers stepped into the foyer[cite: 1].
Police Officer: Mr. Vance? We got a call regarding child abuse and forgery.
Julian: Officer, this is Victoria Sterling. She assaulted my son with a belt and shoved my employee[cite: 1].
Police Officer: Do you have evidence of the incident?
Julian: Look at the screen above you. And check the forged legal documents on the floor.
The lead officer looked at the video loop playing on the monitor, his expression hardening instantly[cite: 1].
Police Officer: Cuff her.
