Mark rushed to Lily's side and quickly helped her stand up tall.
He checked her arms and knees for any painful bruises or dark marks.
Mark: Are you okay, baby girl? Did she hurt your head?
Lily: I am okay, Daddy... she said you would abandon me here.
Mark: I will never abandon you! Nobody will ever hurt you again!
Victoria suddenly stepped toward them with a sharp, angry glint in her eyes.
She realized her peaceful facade was no longer useful to protect her interests.
Victoria: Do you really think anyone will believe a poor mechanic like you?
Mark: The police will believe the high-definition footage recorded on my server.
Victoria: This is my mansion, and you have no legal rights here!
Mark: I do not care about your money or your giant house!
Victoria: If you report this, I will hire the best lawyer in Texas!
Mark: Hire whoever you want, because you are going to need them!
Suddenly, the front door opened again, revealing a man in a navy suit.
It was Victoria's family lawyer, Mr. Vance, holding an official leather briefcase.
He looked surprised by the tense scene unfolding in the grand foyer.
Mr. Vance: Victoria? What is the meaning of all this noise today?
Mark: Ask your client why she just assaulted a young innocent girl!
Mr. Vance: Victoria, is this true? We have the trust fund hearing tomorrow!
Mark looked at the lawyer with sudden, sharp realization in his eyes.
Mark: Trust fund? What trust fund are you talking about right now?
Victoria: Shut up, Vance! Do not utter another single word to him!
Mr. Vance: The court requires her to show family stability to access the trust.
Mark finally understood the sinister reason behind Victoria's rushed marriage proposal.
