Arthur stepped between Elena and his glamorous wife, his chest heaving with deep emotion.
He stared directly into Victoria's eyes with a look of absolute disgust and rage.
Arthur: How could you do this to my motherless child?
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me, she is lying to get money!
Arthur: Touch my son again, you'll go to prison today!
Arthur grabbed Victoria's arm firmly and shoved her away from the young boy.
Victoria lost her balance on her high heels and fell hard onto the marble floor.
Her light-blue dress spread out around her as she gasped in complete shock and embarrassment.
She held her bruised knee, staring up at her husband with wide, terrifying eyes.
Victoria: You cannot treat me like this, I am your legal wife!
Arthur: You are nothing to this family after what you just did!
Arthur turned his back on Victoria completely and knelt down on the cold floor.
He wrapped his large, strong arms around both Elena and his small, crying son.
Arthur: Thank you for protecting my son when I was not here.
Elena: I will always protect Leo, Mr. Sterling, no matter what happens to me.
Leo hugged his father tightly around the neck, still sobbing quietly against his expensive coat.
Leo: Daddy, she said you didn't love me anymore and were sending me away.
Arthur felt tears sting his own eyes as he heard his son's fragile, breaking voice.
He squeezed Leo closer to his heart and kissed the top of the boy's head.
Arthur: That is never going to happen, my brave little man, I promise you.
Victoria sat on the floor in silence, realizing her greedy plan was completely ruined now.
She had hoped to isolate Leo and force Arthur to change his rich life insurance policy.
She wanted all the vast family fortune for herself without sharing a single dollar.
But the brave housemaid had shattered her cruel dream in one single, heroic moment.
Arthur pulled his silver smartphone from his jacket pocket with a steady, cold hand.
He dialed a number on the screen and placed the phone directly to his ear.
Arthur: Get my divorce lawyer on the line right now, immediately.
Arthur: And call the local police department to dispatch an officer to my estate.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she heard her husband's harsh, uncompromising words.
She tried to scramble up from the slippery floor, but her long dress tripped her.
She lay there defeated, knowing her life of luxury and privilege was coming to an end.
