The high-key luxury hall was filled with bright natural light that bounced off the white marble floor.
Victoria adjusted her diamond necklace and glared down at the young woman standing near the entryway.
She thought her long-sleeved white dress made her look like royalty among the high-society guests.
Amber stood quietly in her plain white tank top while holding a worn brown leather handbag.
She had walked through the front doors to deliver an urgent document to the city official.
Victoria marched over with a look of utter disgust across her carefully painted face.
She did not want anyone dressed so plainly to ruin her lavish charity gala afternoon.
Without saying a polite word, Victoria reached out and grabbed Amber firmly by the shoulder.
She used all her strength to shove the younger woman backward onto the hard floor.
Amber lost her balance instantly and fell near the large circular gold insignia on the tiles.
Her leather handbag tumbled out of her hand and landed with a loud thump.
The guests standing nearby in dark tuxedos gasped loudly when they saw the sudden violence.
A police officer standing near the back wall immediately turned his head in shock.
Victoria folded her arms and sneered down at the young woman lying on the ground.
She told Amber to drag herself back out to the streets where she belonged.
Amber felt a sharp sting on her cheek as she rested on the cold marble floor.
She touched her hand to her mouth and noticed a slight trace of crimson skin distress.
Her breathing grew heavy as she looked up at the arrogant woman towering above her.
The room went quiet except for the quiet murmur of nervous guests whispering behind their hands.
Victoria laughed softly because she believed no one in the room would ever challenge her authority.
She believed her family money made her completely immune to any legal consequences today.
The uniformed police officer stepped forward carefully with a deeply concerned expression on his face.
He looked at the fallen bag and then looked at the wealthy woman in white.
Amber took a deep breath to calm her rising anger before making any quick movement.
She slowly reached out her arm to grab the strap of her brown leather handbag.
She pulled the bag close to her chest and wiped her bruised cheek with her sleeve.
Then she pushed herself off the marble floor and stood up with fierce determination.
She did not back down or show any fear to the crowd surrounding her.
She took two firm steps forward until she was standing right in front of Victoria.
Her eyes locked onto Victoria's eyes with steady, intense conviction that chilled the room.
She told Victoria that she had just made a very huge mistake today.
