The sound of heavy tires crunching on gravel echoed from the driveway outside.
Two private estate security officers stepped out of a black luxury vehicle.
They entered through the open front doors into the bright marble foyer.
Victoria backed away from the study entry toward the center of the hall.
Her posture was stiff, but her eyes darted nervously toward the door.
Victoria: Julian, please think about our upcoming high-society wedding event!
Julian: There will be no wedding between us now or ever again.
Julian walked out of the study holding the legal papers in hand.
The security guards stood firmly near the double doors, waiting for orders.
Victoria: You are ruining our public reputation over a minor maid incident!
Julian: You ruined your own reputation the moment you treated people poorly.
Elena stepped into the hall, looking calm and proud for the first time.
She no longer held her head low in fear of unfair punishment.
Elena: My mother taught me that honesty is worth more than gold.
Victoria: Be quiet! You are nothing compared to my wealthy family background!
Julian: Elena has more dignity in her pinky finger than you possess.
Julian gestured firmly toward the open front entrance frame with his hand.
Julian: Hand over your house keys right now and leave my sight.
Victoria unclasped her designer purse with sharp, hurried movements on her strap.
She pulled out the silver key ring and threw it onto the marble.
The metal keys clattered loudly against the white stone floor below them.
Victoria: You will regret treating me like this in front of everyone!
Julian: The only regret I have is trusting you inside my home.
The security officers stepped forward to escort Victoria down the front steps.
She glared back one last time before stepping out into the sunlight.
The heavy front doors swung shut with a solid, echoing thud sound.
