Victoria turned around slowly with a look of pure hatred on her face.
She realized that her secret cover had been completely blown wide open.
Victoria: You have no right to look through my private personal business!
Mark: You took photos of my private trust documents inside my own house!
Mark: That is corporate espionage and criminal trespassing, Victoria.
Sarah: hand over the phone before Mark calls our family attorney.
Victoria clutched her black leather purse tightly against her side.
Victoria: Richard promised me a full ten percent of the estate assets!
Victoria: You inherited millions while my branch of the family got nothing!
Mark: My father earned his wealth through forty years of honest labor.
Mark: Your mother sold her company shares decades ago by her own choice.
Victoria: It isn't fair that you live in luxury while I work entry level jobs!
Sarah: That jealousy gives you no right to terrorize my baby boy!
Victoria pulled her phone out and held it high above her head.
Victoria: The files are already uploaded to a secure cloud server anyway!
Victoria: You are too late to stop the lawsuit from being reopened!
Mark did not panic or shout at her unexpected declaration.
Instead, he reached into his sweater pocket and pulled out his own phone.
He pressed a speed dial button and put the call on speakerphone.
Lawyer: Hello Mark, this is Arthur from the law firm.
Mark: Arthur, please inform my cousin Victoria about the trust terms.
Lawyer: Any family member caught committing corporate theft forfeits all inheritance rights permanently.
Lawyer: Section four of your father’s final updated will explicitly states this rule.
Victoria’s arrogant smile vanished in an instant as she heard the lawyer.
Her hand began to shake visible against the dark leather of her bag.
Victoria: That cannot be true... Richard said there was a loophole!
Lawyer: Richard lied to you to avoid getting his own hands dirty, young lady.
