The high-key sunlight brightened every detail of the intense confrontation in the grand foyer.
Julian stood tall over Victoria, pointing his finger right at her face with trembling fury.
Julian: I heard every single word you said from the hallway outside!
Victoria gasped loudly as her entire face drained of color in an instant.
She did not realize Julian had entered through the side garage door minutes earlier.
Julian had heard Victoria screaming and threatening Elena near the upper balcony railing.
He had seen Victoria deliberately drop the heavy frame to destroy the paperwork.
Julian: You tried to sabotage my daughter's future for your own personal greed!
Victoria: Julian, please, I was just angry because she was disrespecting me!
Julian: Pack your things and get out of my home right now!
Victoria stumbled backward against the wooden stair railing in sheer horror and panic.
She clutched her dress in embarrassment as the household staff gathered near the hall.
Elena stepped forward while holding the folder out toward Julian.
Elena: Here are the original adoption and trust fund files she tried to hide, sir.
Julian took the clean blue folder from Elena's hands with deep respect and gratitude.
He opened the pages and saw the fake documents Victoria had prepared to sign.
The evidence was absolute, proving Victoria's criminal conspiracy against his baby daughter.
Julian: Call the police and our family lawyers right this second!
Two security guards entered the main foyer upon hearing Julian's loud orders.
They immediately stepped up to Victoria and blocked her from going upstairs.
Victoria: You cannot throw me out like this without a proper trial!
Julian: My attorneys will hand you the divorce papers before the sun sets today.
Victoria broke down into heavy angry tears as the security officers escorted her out.
She glared at Elena with intense hatred as she was led through the front doors.
The heavy wooden front doors slammed shut behind her, ending her reign of greed.
The grand foyer suddenly became quiet and peaceful once again.
Elena took a deep breath, feeling the heavy weight lift off her shoulders.
She looked down at baby Lily, who had finally stopped crying and was smiling.
Julian walked over to Elena with a gentle and humbled expression on his face.
He realized how close he had come to losing everything because of his blind trust.
He looked at the brave maid who had put herself in danger to protect his child.
