Eleanor: Get up right now and clean up that mess before the board members walk past!
Lily: Mommy... please come back... my hand is bleeding!
Julian: I told you to get out of my way, you little pest! You ruined my tailored suit with your cake!
Eleanor: Someone call the cleaning staff to drag this beggar's child out of the ballroom!
Before the security guards could take a single step forward, the heavy mahogany double doors at the main entrance were thrown open with a violent thud. Victoria, dressed in an exquisite dark purple velvet gown, stormed into the ballroom. Her eyes locked onto her bleeding daughter lying among the shattered glass, and a wave of pure, dangerous fury transformed her face.
Victoria: Lily!
Victoria didn't waste a single second. She sprinted across the light marble floor, leapt into the air, and delivered a powerful, furious front kick directly into Julian's stomach. The heavy impact thud rang out like a gunshot through the silent hall.
Julian: Ugh!
The sheer force of the kick knocked the grown man completely off his feet. Julian went flying backward through the air, crashing flat onto his back against the polished marble floor directly beneath the American flag, gasping for breath as party guests scattered in total horror.
Eleanor: Julian! Oh my God, my son!
Victoria: Touch my daughter again and I will make sure you never walk on your own two feet again!
Victoria didn't even glance at Eleanor's screaming face. She leaned down over the fallen man on the floor, her face filled with intense, dangerous fury as she stared directly into Julian's terrified eyes, her voice dropping into a furious, menacing whisper.
Victoria: You just made the biggest mistake of your life.
Julian thrashed against the marble tile, clutching his stomach as he gasped for air, his face turning pale under the bright chandelier lights.
Julian: You... you crazy woman! You attacked me in front of the entire board of directors!
Victoria: You shoved a five-year-old child through a glass display cabinet, you worthless coward!
Eleanor: Security! Arrest this woman! Shoot her if she takes another step!
Victoria: Let a single guard lay a hand on me, Eleanor, and I will freeze every single asset tied to the Sterling trust fund before the police even arrive!
