A loud wind swoosh ripped through the air, followed immediately by a violent, echoing impact sound as Victoria's boot connected squarely with Chad's tuxedo jacket. The sheer kinetic force lifted the six-foot-tall man completely off his feet.
Chad flew backward through the air, crashing hard against the long dessert table before slamming violently onto the white marble floor. Fine crystal bowls and three-tiered wedding cake platters shattered around him, showering him in cream and broken glass.
Chad: AGHH! MY RIBS! MY CHEST!
Horrified gasps and loud cheers erupted simultaneously from the crowd of guests as Chad rolled on the floor, clutching his sternum and gasping for breath.
Victoria landed gracefully on her feet, her white gown settling neatly around her ankles. She didn't stumble. She didn't hesitate. She stood tall over his groaning body, pointing a stern, authoritative finger straight at his pale face.
Victoria: TEXAS POLICE ARE ON THEIR WAY! CALL 911 RIGHT NOW! 🇺🇸
Guest 3: I'm calling them right now! I saw the whole thing!
Guest 4: I recorded it on my phone! He assaulted an elderly woman!
Chad: You... you broke my rib... you crazy psycho woman...
Victoria: You pushed a seventy-two-year-old woman to the ground, Chad! You're lucky I didn't break your jaw!
Chad's mother, Eleanor, rushed out from the crowd in her velvet dress, her face red with embarrassment and rage.
Eleanor: Chad! Oh my goodness, Chad! Victoria, how dare you strike my son!
Victoria: Keep your hands where I can see them, Eleanor, or you can join him on the floor!
Eleanor: He is the heir to the Montgomery fortune! You just ruined his reputation in front of the entire Dallas business elite!
Victoria: He ruined his own reputation the second he put his hands on my mother!
Margaret: Victoria... dear... please come here...
Victoria immediately turned her back on Chad and his mother, rushing back to her mother's side with gentle, tender care.
Victoria: I'm right here, Mom. Don't worry. He won't ever touch you again.
Margaret: You always were a strong girl... just like your father taught you...
Victoria: Two guests are trained nurses, Mom. They're coming over to hold your neck still until the paramedics get here.
Nurse Guest: Stay still, ma'am. I'm Nurse Sarah. We're going to make sure your spine is completely safe.
Margaret: Thank you, dear...
Chad groaned loudly, trying to lift himself up from the pool of cake batter and broken glass, but his legs gave out under him.
Chad: Mom... call our lawyers... I want her arrested for assault!
Victoria: Go ahead and call them, Chad! Every single camera in this ballroom caught you pushing my mother first! It's self-defense and defense of a third party under Texas law!
Eleanor: We will sue you for every penny you own, girl!
Victoria: You can try, Eleanor! But by tomorrow morning, this video will be on every news channel in the state of Texas!
