The huge ballroom fell into a completely silent hush as everyone waited for Enzo's decision.
Enzo reached into his pocket and pulled out a small black velvet jewelry box.
Inside the box rested a massive diamond ring meant for the upcoming engagement announcement.
He stared down at the bright ring for one long and quiet moment.
Victoria: Enzo, put that ring on my finger so we can end this drama!
Enzo: This ring was meant for a woman with a kind and good heart.
He closed the box with a loud click that rang out across the room.
Enzo: The engagement is officially over as of this exact moment.
Victoria took a quick step backward as if she had been hit by lightning.
Victoria: You cannot cancel our wedding over a cheap spilt glass of water!
Enzo: It is not about water, Victoria, it is about your cruel character.
He tossed the small jewelry box onto the table right beside the wet stain.
Victoria's eyes burned with furious anger as she looked at the rejected engagement ring.
Victoria: My father invested millions of dollars into your real estate firm last month!
Enzo: Then I will write him a full check tomorrow morning with interest.
The guests began whispering loudly among themselves behind their white gloved hands.
Victoria felt completely exposed as her plan to marry into the estate collapsed instantly.
She pointed her finger straight at Lily with extreme hatred in her sharp voice.
Victoria: This is all your fault, you pathetic little thief!
Lily: I never stole anything or harmed anyone in this house, ma'am!
Enzo stepped even closer to Victoria and narrowed his dark eyes with deep suspicion.
Enzo: Why did you just call her a thief, Victoria?
Victoria froze for a second as if she had accidentally said a wrong word.
Victoria: Because she is a servant, and servants always steal from rich homes!
Enzo: Or maybe you are hiding something much bigger behind your loud shouting.
Lily looked up at Enzo with a sudden look of pure realization in her eyes.
Lily: Sir, she threatened to fire me yesterday if I spoke about the study.
Enzo turned his full attention toward Lily as the air in the room grew cold.
