Victoria stumbled backward in absolute panic as Richard confronted her face to face near the staircase.
His voice shook with overwhelming anger as he pointed his finger directly at the front entrance doors.
Richard: You fake monster, you lied to me about loving my daughter since the day we got married!
Victoria: Please, Richard, give me one chance to explain everything before you make a terrible mistake!
Richard: I saw your hand raised against an innocent maid and my motherless little girl with my own eyes!
Victoria reached out to grab his suit jacket in a desperate attempt to manipulate his emotions once more.
Richard shoved her hands away forcefully, causing her to lose her footing on the slick marble floor.
She stumbled backward onto the cold floor with a sharp breath of shock and embarrassed indignation.
She sat on the polished floor holding her face while staring up at her furious billionaire husband.
Richard: Get out of my house right now before I call the police department to arrest you!
Victoria: You cannot just throw me out into the street like trash after everything we shared!
Richard: You crossed the one line that I will never allow anyone to cross under my roof!
Lily peeked out from behind Mary's shoulder while wiping tears from her swollen red young eyes.
Richard dropped down to one knee on the floor and gently wrapped his arms around his daughter.
Richard: I am so sorry, my sweet baby girl, Daddy is here now and nobody will ever hurt you.
Lily wrapped her small arms around her father's neck while sobbing softly into his dark wool suit coat.
Mary handed the paper folder that Victoria had dropped on the marble stairs directly to Richard.
Richard opened the legal folder and scanned the papers that detailed Victoria's plan to steal Lily's inheritance.
His jaw clenched tightly as he realized how close he had come to ruin by trusting the wrong woman.
He looked back up at Victoria with complete coldness and disgust in his piercing dark brown eyes.
