Leo helped Clara sit up slowly on the cold marble floor of the foyer.
She was trembling uncontrollably while clutching his leather jacket for support.
The mansion felt completely silent except for the sound of her shaky breathing.
Leo checked her arms and wrists for any dangerous injuries or sharp breaks.
Leo: Are you able to stand up right now, Clara?
Clara: My ankle hurts badly, but I think nothing is broken.
Leo: We need to get you out of this house immediately.
Victoria: Nobody is leaving this property until the police arrive here.
Victoria stood at the top of the grand staircase with her arms crossed.
She looked completely calm despite what had just happened on the balcony.
Victoria: You invaded my private residence without my permission, Leo.
Leo: I have full legal power of attorney from Clara's father.
Victoria: That old document became invalid the moment he passed away.
Leo: That is where you are completely wrong, Victoria.
Leo pulled a thick legal envelope from inside his coat pocket slowly.
Victoria narrowed her eyes as she recognized the official stamp on the paper.
Clara: What is that document in your hand, Leo?
Leo: It is the original copy of your father's final updated will.
Victoria: That document was destroyed in the office fire three months ago!
Leo: Your assistant tried to destroy it, but I saved the file.
Victoria gripped the staircase railing until her knuckles turned bright white.
She slowly walked down the steps toward them one single stair at a time.
The smooth sound of her expensive heels rang through the large room.
Victoria: You are bluffing to protect this useless girl.
Leo: The lawyers verified every signature on these pages yesterday morning.
Clara: What does the true will say about the family estate?
Leo: You are the sole heir to every account and this entire property.
Victoria stopped on the fifth step from the bottom with a frozen look.
Her face lost all its color as the truth sank into her mind.
Victoria: He would never leave me out of the estate settlement!
Leo: He found out you were draining the trust accounts behind his back.
Clara: My father knew what you were doing all along.
Victoria: This entire family lied to me from the very start!
Victoria reached for her heavy handbag sitting on the nearby side table.
She pulled out a small black flash drive with a shaky right hand.
Victoria: If I go down, I take the whole business with me.
Leo: You will not destroy anything else in this house today.
Leo stepped between Victoria and Clara to shield his friend from harm.
The front doors of the mansion suddenly burst open with a loud thud.
