Julian stood tall in the center of the foyer, his posture rigid with cold fury.
He handed baby Leo carefully into Sarah's arms and motioned for her to step back.
Sarah took the child toward the sunlit hallway while staying near enough to hear everything.
Julian stepped directly into Victoria's path, blocking her from moving any closer to the nursery.
Julian: Explain why the bassinet was anywhere near that open balcony railing today.
Victoria: I was just bringing him into the morning sun for fresh air!
Julian: That balcony has been locked shut since the start of this summer!
Victoria stammered, her face turning bright red under the sharp overhead daylight.
Victoria: The maid left it unlocked! She wanted an accident to happen to frame me!
Julian: You think I am blind to what you have been doing lately?
Julian reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a folded white legal envelope.
He held the document right in front of Victoria's eyes, his hand steady and cold.
Julian: My lawyer sent me the private records you requested from our family bank.
Victoria stepped back against the marble stair post, her jaw dropping open in panic.
Julian: You tried to change Leo's trust fund secondary beneficiary list yesterday afternoon.
Victoria: Julian, I was only trying to protect our family's future interests!
Julian: You wanted his inheritance if anything ever happened to my baby boy!
Victoria realized her carefully built web of lies was completely falling apart in seconds.
Her calm posture vanished, replaced by sharp, bitter anger that exposed her real personality.
Victoria: You care more about this child and your servants than your own marriage!
Julian: This marriage was built on absolute deception from the very first day!
Victoria: You cannot throw me out! I signed a legal prenuptial agreement!
Julian: That contract is void the moment criminal cruelty and endangerment are proven!
Victoria gasped, looking around the bright white walls as if seeking a way out.
The truth was out, and no amount of money could cover her actions now.
