Before Evelyn could reach out to wrap her arms around her long-lost sister, a sharp voice shattered the emotional moment. An older fair-skinned woman wearing an elegant navy lace dress rushed down the grand staircase, her expensive gold jewelry clanking loudly. It was Victoria, Evelyn's wealthy stepmother, who had managed the family trust fund and real estate empire ever since Evelyn's adoptive father passed away two years ago.
Victoria marched straight toward the two girls, her face pale with rage and sudden panic. Without hesitating for even a second, she forcefully pushed Clara away from Evelyn, sending the poor maid stumbling backward onto the wet hardwood floor near the bucket.
Victoria: Don't touch her! Get your filthy hands off my daughter, you low-class servant!
Evelyn: Stepmother, stop it! What are you doing?
Victoria: She is trying to scam you out of your inheritance right before the ceremony! Guards, throw this lying girl out into the street!
Clara sat on the hard floor, wincing in pain as she looked up at the angry woman. She reached into her apron pocket and pulled out a small piece of folded legal paper that had survived the water spill. It was an original court document showing the illegal guardianship transfer signed by Victoria twenty years ago, proving that Victoria had intentionally separated the two sisters to secure the deceased billionaire's estate trust fund for herself.
Clara: I am not a scammer! You bribed the adoption agency and stole my sister so you could access our grandfather's trust fund money!
Victoria: Shut your mouth! Security, carry this crazy woman out of my house immediately!
The wedding guests started whispering loudly, pulled into the dramatic scene unfolding right under the American flag painting. Two heavy security guards stepped forward, but before they could lay a single hand on Clara, Evelyn took a quick step in front of her sister, holding out her hand to block them.
Evelyn: If any of you touch her again, I will have every single one of you arrested before the sun sets!
