Julian: "Chloe, tell me she's lying right now!"
Chloe: "Julian, darling! Don't listen to this crazy woman! She was holding Noah near the balcony and dropped him herself!"
Elena: "That is a complete lie! I was wiping down the grand piano when I saw her toss him!"
Chloe: "She's trying to cover her own negligence! I tried to catch him from above, but I couldn't reach!"
Julian: "Shut up! Both of you, shut up!"
Julian stormed across the grand foyer, his boots clicking hard against the white marble. He dropped to his knees beside Elena, his hands trembling as he reached out to examine little Noah. The infant was red-faced, sobbing uncontrollably, his tiny fingers clutching tightly to Elena's blue apron collar.
Julian: "Noah... Oh God, my boy... Is he hurt?! Elena, check his head!"
Elena: "I caught him in my arms, Mr. Vance! He didn't hit the stone, thank God! But he is terrified!"
Julian: "Thank you, Elena... Thank you for saving my son."
Chloe: "Julian, you can't seriously take the word of a minimum-wage maid over your own wife!"
Julian: "I said shut your mouth, Chloe!"
Julian stood up slowly, handing the crying infant carefully back into Elena's protective arms. His face twisted into an expression of unbridled rage as he turned toward the staircase where Chloe was descending in her green silk gown.
Chloe: "Darling, please calm down. You're making a huge scene in front of the staff."
Julian: "A scene?! You just tried to murder my son!"
Chloe: "It was an accident! The baby was squirming!"
Julian: "You threw him! I heard you shouting from the driveway when the doors were still closed!"
Julian marched up the first three steps of the curved staircase, meeting Chloe head-on. Without hesitation, he reached out and shoved her back forcefully against the mahogany banister.
Chloe: "AH! Julian! You put your hands on me?!"
Julian: "GET OUT OF MY HOUSE IMMEDIATELY! YOU ARE FINISHED!"
Chloe: "You can't throw me out! I am your legal wife! This mansion belongs to both of us under Texas law!"
Julian: "This mansion belongs to the Vance Family Trust, which you have zero rights to! Marcus! Thomas! Grab her!"
The two security guards who had followed Julian inside stepped forward immediately, taking positions at the foot of the stairs.
Chloe: "Don't you dare touch me! Do you know who my family is?!"
Julian: "I don't care who your family is! You are leaving this property in handcuffs if you don't walk out right now!"
Chloe: "You're making the biggest mistake of your life, Julian! You'll be begging me to come back!"
Julian: "Escort her to her car. If she sets foot on this lawn again, shoot to disable."
Marcus: "Understood, Mr. Vance. Right this way, ma'am."
Chloe glared at Elena with pure hatred, her green gown rustling as the guards flanked her and forced her out through the double front doors into the scorching Texas heat.
