Victoria stood frozen near the fireplace, realization sinking into her mind like heavy lead.
Her life of luxury and unearned status was crumbling right down around her in mere seconds.
Victoria: You can't just throw me out! I am your legal wife!
David: My divorce lawyer will have the paperwork delivered to you by tomorrow morning.
Victoria: I will sue you for half of everything you own in court!
David: The prenup you signed explicitly voids all spousal support in cases of fraud.
Victoria gasped loudly as she remembered the strict legal agreement she had signed before marrying.
The audio recording proved both financial fraud and child neglect beyond any shadow of doubt.
She looked around the massive study, realizing that no amount of smooth talking would save her.
David: Clara, please call our estate security guards to escort her to the gate.
Clara: Yes, Mr. Vance. Right away.
Clara picked up the house telephone and dialed the main guard post near the front gate.
Victoria glared at Clara with pure venom, but she no longer possessed any actual power.
Two uniform security officers arrived at the study entrance within less than two minutes.
David: Escort Mrs. Vance to her room to get her clothes, then off the property.
Security Officer: Yes, sir. Ma'am, please step this way right now.
Victoria held her head high in desperate pride, but her eyes were brimming with heavy tears.
She dragged her feet as the officers walked her down the grand hallway toward the door.
The heavy front entrance doors slammed shut behind her, echoing loudly throughout the silent home.
David took a deep, clear breath as the heavy tension in the house finally vanished away.
He looked at his son sleeping peacefully, knowing that the dark dark storm had passed.
He turned back toward Clara with a look of deep gratitude and respect in his eyes.
David: You saved my son today, Clara. You showed incredible bravery standing up to her.
Clara: I only did what was right for little Liam, sir.
David: You will never have to worry about your job or your mother's care again.
