Marcus stood up slowly while holding his precious son safely in one arm.
He towered over Victoria with a strict authority she had never seen before.
Marcus: How dare you touch my child and hit my loyal staff!
Victoria: Marcus, please listen to reason! I lost my temper for just one second!
Marcus: You have been lying to me every single day we were married!
He shoved her back firmly as she tried to reach out and touch his arm.
Victoria stumbled backward, her green gown rustling loudly against the marble floor.
She hit the wall behind her with a gasping breath of pure shock.
Victoria: I am your wife, you cannot treat me like this!
Marcus: You are a monster who hurt an innocent, defenseless baby boy!
Marcus turned his attention back to Elena, who was slowly standing up.
Marcus: Elena, did this happen before today when I was away?
Elena: Yes, sir. She ignores him for hours and gets angry at his cries.
Elena: I tried to protect him, but she threatened to fire me every time.
Marcus felt a deep surge of guilt for not noticing the danger sooner.
He had trusted the wrong person while focusing entirely on his vast fortune.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his sleek black smartphone.
He dialed his personal family lawyer without taking his eyes off Victoria.
Marcus: Arthur, cancel all pre-nuptial agreements and prepare immediate divorce papers right now.
Marcus: Call the police department as well, we have an assault in my house.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as her arrogance shattered in an instant.
Victoria: You cannot take away my lifestyle, my trust fund, and my status!
Marcus: You lost everything the second you raised your hand against my family.
The sound of approaching police sirens echoed softly from the long driveway outside.
