A tall woman in a bright emerald green evening gown marched across the room toward Charlotte quickly.
Her sharp diamond earrings glittered under the bright room lights as her heavy heels clicked loudly.
This was Evelyn Valle, the wealthy daughter-in-law who managed the day-to-day operations of the family business.
Evelyn blocked Charlotte's path with a cold look of absolute disgust clearly showing on her face.
Evelyn: What is a street beggar doing inside my family's private mansion right now?
Charlotte: I came here to speak directly with Mr. Arthur Valle regarding a private matter.
Evelyn: You think you can just walk in here looking like a complete disaster?
Charlotte: I have a valid written invitation that was delivered directly to my home address.
Evelyn: That is impossible because I personally approved every single name on our official guest list.
Evelyn reached out and grabbed Charlotte's tote bag with sudden force, ripping it off her shoulder.
The canvas bag hit the polished marble floor with a loud heavy crash in front of everyone.
Two water bottles and a worn spiral notebook rolled across the smooth floor toward the quiet crowd.
The surrounding guests gasped loudly as the noise echoed off the grand high ceilings above them.
Charlotte gasped from the sudden shock and knelt down on the cold floor to gather her things.
Her knees hit the hard marble surface hard as her hands trembled while picking up her notebook.
Evelyn stood over her with her arms crossed while staring down at the young girl in anger.
Evelyn: You don't belong here in this mansion, so get up and leave immediately!
Charlotte: I am not leaving until I speak to the head of this family line today.
Evelyn leaned down and reached out aggressively to grab Charlotte by her beige sweater collar tightly.
Charlotte reacted instantly by rising to her feet and gripping Evelyn's wrist tightly in mid-air.
The room fell completely silent as everyone watched the young girl stop the wealthy woman instantly.
Charlotte: Never put your hands on me again under any circumstances.
Evelyn: Let go of my arm this instant or I will have you arrested! You are insane!
Charlotte pushed Evelyn's arm away firmly, sending the older woman stumbling back a few short steps.
Evelyn hit the edge of a large banquet table, knocking three glass cups onto the floor.
The glass smashed loudly against the stone ground as guests backed away in total shock and confusion.
