Victoria stood over Sarah, her face twisted in ugly rage because her cruel trick had failed completely.
Victoria: You stupid girl, you should have minded your own business!
Sarah: What is wrong with you? You could have hurt him!
Sarah stood up quickly, keeping baby Leo pressed safely against her chest with both her arms.
Victoria: Hand that baby back to me this second or I will ruin your life!
Sarah: I will never let you touch this innocent child again!
Victoria stepped forward menacingly, her green velvet dress trailing over the cold white marble floor panels.
She reached out to grab Sarah's arm, but Sarah ducked away and ran toward the front entrance.
Victoria: Guards, lock the front gates right now!
The mansion's internal security alarms began to beep softly as Victoria pressed the wall control panel.
Sarah held the crying baby tight, standing firm near the large center mirror in the wide foyer.
Sarah: You are a monster, Victoria, and Mr. Vance will hear about everything you did today!
Victoria: Arthur will believe whatever story I tell him when he walks through those double doors.
Victoria picked up a heavy crystal vase from the table and smashed it violently onto the floor.
Victoria: I will tell him you attacked me and tried to steal his child's legal documents!
Sarah stood her ground bravely, holding the baby while tears of anger ran down her cheeks.
She knew the truth was on her side, and she refused to run away like a criminal.
