Arthur Vance stepped into the grand foyer, his face dark with sudden confusion.
He had forgotten key financial files for his meeting and returned home unannounced.
The sight before him made his blood run cold in an instant of sheer shock.
His wife was glaring furiously at the trembling maid holding his crying son.
Forged legal papers lay scattered across the marble steps leading up the staircase.
Arthur: What on earth is the meaning of this chaotic scene in my house?!
Victoria immediately changed her tone, attempting to act terrified and victimized.
She squeezed out fake tears and rushed toward Arthur with open arms.
Victoria: Oh, Arthur! Thank goodness you came back! Elena has completely gone mad!
Elena: That is not true, Mr. Vance! She was trying to frame me and take your son!
Victoria: Look at her, Arthur! She stole legal papers and threatened to hurt our child!
Arthur held up his hand, his sharp eyes scanning the room with deep suspicion.
He walked slowly toward the scattered papers resting on the white marble floor.
He picked up a document bearing his forged signature and a fake adoption seal.
His jaw clenched tightly as he read the cruel details outlined in the contract.
Arthur: Victoria... why is my signature on an agreement transferring my custody rights?
Victoria turned pale, her confident demeanor instantly vanishing into thin air.
Victoria: I... I can explain, darling! She must have planted those papers there!
Elena: Check the security cameras, Mr. Vance! She ordered the guards away moments ago!
Arthur looked at Elena, seeing the genuine tearful protection in her eyes for his son.
He looked down at his baby, who was now calming down in Elena's warm arms.
Arthur: Elena has served this family faithfully for years without a single complaint.
Victoria: You are taking the word of a maid over your own legal wife?!
Arthur: I am taking the word of the woman who is currently protecting my son!
He walked over to Elena and gently touched his baby boy's soft cheek affectionately.
The child stopped crying completely and reached out to hold Arthur's finger.
Arthur felt a wave of immense gratitude toward the brave, loyal housemaid.
He turned back to Victoria, his eyes burning with absolute disappointment and fury.
Arthur: You thought you could deceive me and steal my family's legacy for yourself.
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me! I only did what was best for our future!
Arthur: You do not care about our future! You care only about money and power!
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to call head security.
Victoria panicked, realizing that her grand illusion was breaking down completely.
