Before Victoria could throw the heavy glass object, the grand double doors blew wide open with a boom.
Arthur Vance stood in the high arched doorway, clad in his tailored navy-blue suit and dark leather shoes.
His face was red with pure shock and rising rage as he witnessed the chaotic chaos unfold before him.
Behind him stood two local police officers who had been patrolling near the front security gate down below.
Arthur: What in the world is happening inside my son's bedroom right now?!
Victoria instantly dropped the heavy glass vase onto the thick carpet, pretending to break down into dramatic tears.
Victoria: Oh Arthur, thank goodness you arrived just in time to save me from this crazy maid!
Victoria: She snuck into your private desk and tried to steal our baby's financial papers for blackmail!
Victoria: I tried to stop her, but she physically attacked me and threatened my life, darling!
Elena took a deep steady breath, holding the intact blue folder safely against her lavender uniform dress.
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Vance, and the guests outside saw everything through the glass!
Elena: She brought a lighter into this room to burn your late wife's original trust fund paper terms!
Elena: She wanted to erase Thomas from your estate will so all property would belong to her alone!
Arthur walked slowly across the polished marble floor toward the two women beneath the bold American flag.
His sharp eyes noticed the silver lighter lying open on the bedside table right next to the crib.
He also saw the broken desk lock and the drawer hanging open where his private files were kept secure.
He turned his gaze toward the massive glass balcony window and saw several guests nodding their heads rapidly.
The guests down on the patio were pointing directly at Victoria, confirming Elena's honest words through clear gestures.
Arthur felt a cold wave of betrayal wash over his heavy heart as the cruel truth became instantly obvious.
He looked at his new wife with absolute disgust and burning paternal fury in his dark focused eyes.
Arthur: You lied to me from the very first day you stepped into this family home, Victoria!
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me! I only did what was best for our grand future together!
Arthur: You targeted an innocent sleeping baby for your own disgusting corporate greed and selfish ambition!
Victoria backed away slowly until her back hit the cold white wall near the large window frames.
She realized her elaborate scheme had completely collapsed in front of the authorities and high society guests.
