Victoria stood up quickly and put her wine glass on the table.
She tried to put a sweet smile on her face.
Victoria: The maid is lying to you, darling!
Arthur: I saw the video with my own eyes, Victoria!
Victoria: It was just a safety harness to keep him from falling!
Elena: You were dragging him across the cold floor like a dog!
Victoria glared at Elena with deep hatred in her eyes.
Victoria: Keep your mouth shut, you low-class servant!
Arthur: Do not speak to her like that in my house!
Arthur walked over to his large wooden desk in the library.
He opened the top drawer and pulled out a thick envelope.
Elena noticed the legal seal stamped on the front of the paper.
Arthur: My lawyer sent me this background report two hours ago.
Victoria's face lost all of its color in an instant.
She took a slow step backward toward the tall window.
Arthur: You lied about your real identity when we met last year.
Victoria: Arthur, please let me explain everything to you!
Arthur: You only married me to clear your massive gambling debts!
Elena held the baby safely against her shoulder as she listened.
She realized Victoria had never loved Arthur or his little boy.
The entire marriage was built on lies and greedy motives.
Arthur shook his head with deep disappointment and disgust.
Arthur: You do not care about this family at all.
Victoria: That is not true! I love our life together!
Arthur: You abused a helpless infant in my own home!
Victoria realized she had lost control of the whole situation.
She dropped her gentle persona and scowled bitterly.
Victoria: That brat was ruining my life anyway!
