Julian stood up slowly, his tall frame casting a long shadow across the bright, sunlit marble room.
The veins on his forehead bulged slightly as he glared directly at Victoria with intense disapproval.
Victoria took a quick step backward, realizing that her clever lies were completely failing her now.
"Julian, please listen to me, she is setting me up!" Victoria pleaded, her voice trembling nervously.
"I have tolerated your cold attitude toward my daughter for months, Victoria," Julian said quietly.
"I gave you the benefit of the doubt because I wanted our family to stay united," he continued.
"To threaten a helpless child and destroy her mother's memory is something I will never forgive."
Julian stepped forward with great authority, stepping directly between Victoria and his precious child.
"You will leave this house right now before I call the authorities for child endangerment," he ordered.
Victoria realized her luxurious life as the wife of a wealthy attorney was ending in this moment.
"You cannot kick me out! We signed a prenup, but I still have rights!" Victoria yelled angrily.
"The prenuptial agreement explicitly voids all financial support in cases of cruelty or abuse," Julian countered cold-heartedly.
"My law firm prepared that agreement, and I will ensure you leave with absolutely nothing today."
Victoria stomped her foot in frustration, but the cold look in Julian's eyes told her it was over.
Elena stood up carefully, holding Lily's hand gently as the little girl wiped away her tears.
Victoria grabbed her designer purse from the counter and stormed out of the bathroom in complete disgrace.
