Stepmother: You cannot remove us from the trust fund without a court order!
Grandmother: We are your real family and we deserve our proper fair share!
Grandfather: You gave up your rights when you abused this sweet child!
Stepmother: She lied to you about everything to get us into trouble!
Arthur marched out of the private office back into the grand hallway space.
Victoria and Eleanor followed right behind him with angry loud steps today.
Lily walked beside her grandfather holding onto his warm jacket pocket firmly.
Arthur stopped near the large wooden coat rack near the front entry door.
He turned around slowly to face the two cruel women head-on now.
His voice echoed loudly off the high marble ceiling of the hallway.
Grandfather: Where is the rest of my late daughter's gold jewelry collection?
Stepmother: I do not know what you are talking about old man!
Grandmother: Victoria put it in the wall safe for ultimate safe keeping!
Stepmother: Keep your mouth quiet Eleanor do not tell him that now!
Victoria turned around and glared fiercely at Eleanor for speaking up fast.
Arthur saw the panic growing deeper inside Victoria's pale cold eyes today.
He grabbed the heavy wooden coat rack with his strong right hand.
With one powerful shove he knocked the whole wooden rack right over.
It crashed onto the floor with a loud splintering sound that echoed wide.
Thick winter coats and expensive silk scarves scattered across the polished floor.
Victoria screamed out loud and backed away toward the open double doors.
Eleanor covered her face with both hands in absolute terror and shock.
Grandfather: You lied about my death to steal my entire company estate!
Stepmother: We just wanted what belonged to us before you got old!
Grandmother: Victoria convinced me it was the smartest move for us!
Grandfather: Neither of you will ever get a single dime from me!
Arthur reached into his pocket and pulled out his black cell phone.
He dialed three quick numbers that made Victoria's face turn completely ghost white.
She knew that Arthur had close ties to the city police department leaders.
He placed the speaker mode on so everyone could hear the dial tone.
The phone began to ring loudly through the quiet high-ceiling hall space.
Victoria stepped forward frantically and reached out her hands to stop him.
Stepmother: Please do not call the police department on us Arthur please!
Grandmother: We can pack our bags and leave the house right now!
Grandfather: You are not going anywhere until the sheriff arrives here today.
Little Girl: Grandpa is going to save us from the bad ladies.
Lily looked up at her grandfather with bright eyes full of sweet hope.
The fear that had haunted her for weeks was finally fading away.
Arthur held his granddaughter's soft hand as the phone call connected live.
The consequences of their cruel greedy actions were coming very fast now.
