Victoria's haughty posture faltered slightly as she stared into David's stern eyes.
She tried to recover her cool demeanor by laughing softly into the quiet room.
Victoria: You would throw away our marriage over a simple misunderstanding about chores?
David: This is not a misunderstanding. This is cruelty toward an innocent little girl.
David walked over to his briefcase and snapped open the two silver latches.
He pulled out a thick stack of financial documents he had collected that morning.
David: I did not just come home early to eat pastry with my daughter.
Victoria narrowed her eyes as she looked at the official bank stamps on paper.
Victoria: What are those documents supposed to be, David?
David: These are audit reports from my personal inheritance trust fund account.
Victoria's cheeks lost their color as she took a small step backward.
David: Someone has been forging my signature and transferring large sums of money.
Victoria: I know nothing about your business accounts or your personal bank funds.
David: Over fifty thousand dollars were moved to a private shell corporation last week.
David threw the heavy paper file directly onto the grand glass coffee table.
David: The owner of that shell account is listed under your maiden name.
Victoria swallowed hard, her confidence finally beginning to shatter completely.
David: You did not just abuse my child. You were stealing my family's wealth.
Victoria: I deserved that money for keeping this massive estate running smoothly everyday!
David: You received a generous monthly allowance that exceeded most corporate salaries!
Victoria raised her voice, her calm mask dropping to reveal bitter greed.
Victoria: You loved your dead wife more than you ever cared about me!
David: That gives you no right to rob my family or harm my daughter!
Victoria: I wanted to ensure my own financial future before you replaced me!
David: You have destroyed any chance of remaining in this house another hour.
