Clara: Marcus... my back hurts... I feel like I'm having contractions...
Marcus: Hold on, Clara. The paramedics are coming up the driveway right now. Just keep breathing slowly for me, okay?
Victoria: Marcus, let me help her up! I can call our private family doctor!
Marcus: Touch her again and I swear to God I will throw you out of this house myself!
Victoria backed away against the pristine white wall, her hands trembling as she looked at the heavy double doors[cite: 1]. She turned toward the exit, trying to quietly slip out of the room before the authorities arrived[cite: 1].
Marcus: Where do you think you're going, Victoria?
Victoria: I... I'm going to my room to pack a bag. I'll go stay at a hotel until things cool down.
Marcus: You aren't going anywhere. Security is already standing at the front gate, and I've locked the main elevators from my phone.
Victoria: You can't lock me in my own family home! I have rights as a shareholder of Sterling Global!
Marcus: You lost your rights the second you put your hands on my family[cite: 1].
The living room doors flew open again, and four uniformed police officers rushed inside alongside three paramedics carrying a stretcher and medical gear[cite: 1].
Paramedic 1: Sir, stay back! Let us examine her immediately!
Marcus: Please, help her! She fell backward into that glass coffee table after being shoved[cite: 1]!
The paramedics quickly knelt down beside Clara, stabilizing her neck and carefully lifting her onto the stretcher while checking her vital signs[cite: 1].
Police Officer 1: Who is the owner of this property, and who called ninety-one-one?
Marcus: I called, Officer. I am Marcus Sterling[cite: 1]. That woman over there, my sister Victoria, physically assaulted my wife Clara[cite: 1].
Victoria: Officer, it's a family dispute! My sister-in-law attacked me first, and I was just trying to protect myself!
Marcus: Officer, I have the entire assault recorded on high-definition security video[cite: 1]. It's stored on my phone right here[cite: 1].
Marcus handed his phone directly to the lead police officer[cite: 1]. The officer tapped the screen, playing the live recording from the black ceiling camera[cite: 1].
