The morning sun shone bright over the massive family estate in suburban Connecticut.
Evelyn Vance sat quietly in the sunroom, sipping her morning tea from a delicate china cup.
She was a gentle woman in her late seventies who had spent her entire life building this family legacy.
Her son David had taken over the family business several years ago after his father passed away.
David was a successful Chief Executive Officer who worked long hours to manage the vast inheritance.
He had recently brought his new fiancee, Chloe, to live with them in the grand mansion.
Chloe was a glamorous woman who always wore expensive clothes and high heels around the house.
She wore a dazzling gold sequin gown even for an early morning walk through the marble hallway.
From the moment Chloe arrived, she treated the household staff and Evelyn with cold disrespect.
Chloe: Why is this old furniture still sitting in the main foyer?
Sarah: Mrs. Vance loves those antique chairs, ma'am.
Chloe: I do not care what she loves, clean them out today!
Sarah was the house manager and head maid who had served the family for twenty years.
She loved Evelyn like her own family and noticed how Chloe treated the gentle woman.
Sarah: I take orders only from David and Mrs. Evelyn, ma'am.
Chloe: You will obey me if you want to keep your job here!
Chloe stepped closer to Sarah, her eyes burning with pure anger and arrogance.
She wanted full control over the mansion, the staff, and the family trust fund balance.
Evelyn walked into the grand hallway holding her polished wooden cane carefully.
Evelyn: Please do not raise your voice at Sarah, Chloe.
Chloe: Mind your own business, old woman!
Evelyn: This is my home, and Sarah is family to us.
Chloe: You are just a burden on David's massive budget.
Sarah stepped between Chloe and Evelyn immediately, holding her ground with total strength.
Sarah: Do not ever speak to Mrs. Vance like that again!
Chloe: Get your hand off me, you simple servant!
Chloe sneered at Sarah before turning around on her high heels toward the staircase.
She was determined to remove Evelyn from the estate before the upcoming wedding taking place soon.
