The screen shifted to a second video clip recorded inside Julian's private home office just two hours before the party began. The low-angle camera shot was crystal clear, capturing the desk where Julian kept his important business contracts and offshore bank files. The video showed Victoria standing near the window, talking to a tall man in an expensive gray suit who was holding a thick manila folder. On the desk lay several legal papers marked with red urgent stamps regarding the family estate and company funds. The man handed Victoria a heavy white paper envelope stuffed with cash, which she accepted with a greedy smile. She slipped the money into her handbag before handing him a copy of Julian's signed financial documents.
Julian watched the video with wide eyes, his voice trembling with deep anger as he realized his wife had betrayed his entire business. He had trusted her with his life insurance policies, his property titles, and the keys to his safe deposit boxes. Now he was seeing proof that she was selling his private documents to his biggest corporate rival for quick cash. The guests whispered louder now, recognizing the man in the gray suit as a well-known lawyer from a rival investment firm. Victoria backed away toward the front door, but two large security guards stepped into her path, blocking the exit with stern faces. The truth was out, and there was nowhere left for her to run.
Julian: So... who else is involved in this?!
Victoria: He offered me millions! You never gave me control of the estate!
Julian: You sold my company secrets behind my back for personal greed!
Victoria: You were going to leave everything to your charity funds anyway!
Julian: That gave you no right to steal and frame an innocent person!
Elena: She wanted me fired so I would not tell you about the envelope.
Elena explained how she had walked into the study to empty the wastebasket while the stranger was still inside the room. She had seen Victoria hiding the cash inside her desk drawer, but she had kept her head down and continued her work without saying a word. Victoria knew that if Julian ever noticed missing files, Elena would be the first person he might question about who had visited the office. To protect her illegal payoff, Victoria decided to accuse Elena of stealing the diamond necklaces, planning to have her arrested and sent to prison before she could speak. The cruel calculation of the plan shocked everyone who heard it, leaving the room in heavy silence.
Julian: You were ready to put her in prison just to hide your bribe.
Victoria: She is just a servant! Nobody would have cared about her story!
Julian: I care! The law cares! And you are going to pay for this!
Victoria: You cannot arrest your own wife in front of our high-society friends!
Julian: Watch me call the police right now and hand over this video tape!
Victoria let out a dramatic cry and dropped her luxury handbag onto the floor, sending her phone and lipstick rolling across the marble tiles. She looked around the room, hoping to find one friendly face among her wealthy acquaintances, but every single person turned their back on her. The security guards held their position near the door, ensuring she could not escape before the authorities arrived. Julian pulled out his phone and dialed the local police department, speaking clearly into the receiver as he gave them the address of the mansion. Elena stood tall near the display screen, feeling her strength return as justice finally began to take its course in the bright sunlight.
