Heavy footsteps echoed loudly against the front entrance doors as Arthur pushed through the formal crowd.
He had heard the terrible commotion from his private study and rushed into the foyer immediately.
His jaw was clenched tight in intense rage as he looked at the wild scene before him.
Elena was kneeling on the cold marble floor tearfully holding the precious crystal trust vault safe.
High above on the second floor balcony Victoria stood looking flustered in her red sequin dress.
Arthur: What on earth just happened in my house during this important public charity event?
Elena: Sir she deliberately pushed the trust vault over the railing to destroy Clara's legal papers!
Victoria pointed an angry accusing finger down from the balcony while gasping dramatically for public sympathy.
Victoria: She is lying to cover her own clumsy hands Arthur darling kick her out now!
Elena: Check the ceiling security cameras that you installed above the main balcony last month sir!
Victoria's face turned completely pale when she remembered the newly installed security system mounted upstairs.
Arthur pulled out his mobile phone and opened the high definition live camera feed immediately.
He watched the clear recorded footage showing Victoria intentionally tipping the vault over the tall rail.
A deep rumble of fury shook Arthur's chest as he realized the truth behind his wife's scheme.
He pocketed his phone and charged up the grand marble staircase with rapid powerful strides.
Victoria took several trembling steps backward as her tall husband reached the top upper balcony landing.
Arthur: How dare you attack my motherless child's future inside my own ancestral family home!
Victoria: Arthur please understand I only did this because I felt left out of your family!
Arthur: You are a deceitful villain who tried to frame an innocent loyal employee for crime!
He pointed a stern furious finger toward the heavy front exit doors below the grand foyer.
Arthur: Get out of my house right now and never step near my family ever again!
Victoria sobbed hysterically as she grabbed her designer purse and stumbled down the grand staircase.
The gathered high society guests turned their backs on her as she fled into the dark night.
