Richard held the trust fund documents tightly in his hand as he stepped closer.
Victoria backed away until her back touched the high marble pillar near the entrance.
Victoria: Richard, please let me explain before you make any sudden decisions!
Richard: You tried to steal my baby's future while I was away working!
Sarah: She also tried to lock the nursery door earlier this morning, sir.
Richard looked at Sarah with deep gratitude before turning back to his wife.
Richard: You came into this home pretending to care for my motherless child.
Victoria: I only wanted to secure our future together without old baggage!
Richard: My son is not baggage! He is my entire life and sole heir!
The sound of baby Leo crying softly echo down from the nursery upstairs.
Sarah immediately walked toward the stairs to comfort the frightened infant child.
Sarah: I will go check on the baby and bring him down, sir.
Richard: Thank you, Sarah. You have proven your true loyalty today.
Victoria made a fast move toward Richard to snatch the folder back.
Richard stepped aside easily and blocked her reaching hand with his arm.
Victoria: That estate money belonged to the family before that child arrived!
Richard: That money was placed in a legal trust by his mother before she died.
Richard reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out his private mobile phone.
He dialed the number for his personal security team and his family lawyer.
Richard: I need security at the main house immediately to escort someone off the property.
Victoria began to weep loudly as she realized her plan had completely failed.
Victoria: Please do not ruin my reputation over a simple misunderstanding!
Richard: This is not a misunderstanding! This is criminal fraud and betrayal!
Sarah walked back down the stairs holding baby Leo gently against her shoulder.
The child calmed down instantly as Sarah patted his back with soft affection.
Sarah: He is safe and sound, Mr. Sterling. Nothing touched him.
Richard looked at his son with soft eyes and felt immense emotional relief.
Richard: I do not know what I would have done without you today, Sarah.
Sarah: I promised to protect him, and I will always keep that promise.
