Victoria's face turned red with deep anger as the crowd stared directly at her gown.
She felt deeply embarrassed that her perfect image was stained in front of everyone.
She reached down to a nearby table and grabbed a heavy crystal water glass.
Victoria: You need to learn your place right now!
She raised the heavy glass high into the air with a furious look in her eyes.
Lily backed away slowly and raised her trembling arms to shield her face from harm.
The guests in tuxedos gasped in terror as Victoria prepared to throw the glass down.
Just before the glass fell, a strong hand reached in and caught Victoria's wrist firmly.
Enzo stood beside them with a calm but icy expression across his sharp face.
Enzo: Put the glass down right now, Victoria.
Victoria glared at Enzo in complete disbelief as he squeezed her arm just enough.
Victoria: Enzo! She humiliated me in front of all our wealthy guests!
Enzo did not let go of her wrist until she set the glass back down.
He removed his black blazer and gently wrapped it around Lily's trembling cold shoulders.
Lily looked up at Enzo with tears streaming down her bruised and pale cheeks.
Lily: Sir, I am fine, please do not get angry...
Enzo saw small red marks across Lily's neck from where Victoria had grabbed her collar.
His chest tightened with real anger because he hated seeing innocent people get hurt.
He turned his gaze back toward Victoria with absolute disgust in his eyes.
Victoria: Why are you helping a maid instead of supporting your future wife?
Enzo: Because I know how you act when you think no one is watching.
The crowd gasped softly as Enzo stepped directly between Victoria and the young maid.
Victoria tried to touch Enzo's arm, but he pulled away from her touch instantly.
Victoria: You are ruining our announcement night over a useless servant girl!
Enzo: She is a human being who works hard for this family every day.
Lily held the heavy blazer tightly around herself as she stood behind Enzo's back.
She had never seen anyone stand up against Victoria inside this grand house before.
Victoria looked around at the watching crowd and felt her fake power slipping away.
She raised her hand to point again, but Enzo snapped his fingers for security.
Enzo: Security team, stand by near the main entrance doors immediately.
Two large security officers in dark suits stepped forward from the edges of the room.
Victoria's jaw dropped as she realized Enzo was completely serious about stopping her now.
