Julian gently wrapped his strong arms around Elena and their crying baby boy.
He held them close to his chest, feeling Elena's body shaking with deep sobs.
Julian: It is over now, sweetheart, I am right here with you.
He turned his gaze back toward Victoria, his eyes burning with intense cold fury.
Victoria was furiously scrubbing heavy white frosting off her green dress with paper towels.
Victoria: You are completely crazy, Julian! Mom will throw you both out for this!
Julian: This isn't our home anymore! You will never touch my family again!
Just then, their mother, Eleanor, walked into the kitchen wearing a silk bathrobe.
She stopped dead in her tracks, staring at the messy cream spread across the floor.
Eleanor: What is the meaning of this absolute chaos in my kitchen?
Victoria: Mom! Julian threw my birthday cake right at my face for no reason!
Eleanor glared at Elena with deep disgust and folded her arms across her chest.
Eleanor: I knew that poor girl would bring nothing but trouble to our family.
Julian pulled a thick legal document out from his inner suit jacket pocket calmly.
He tossed the legal papers onto the kitchen table with a heavy, decisive thud.
Julian: Read those documents carefully before you utter another word to my wife.
Eleanor frowned deeply and picked up the heavy white pages with trembling hands.
As her eyes scanned the top lines, her face turned completely pale like paper.
Eleanor: Where did you get these legal papers, Julian?
Julian: Dad left the entire estate and trust fund strictly to me before he died.
Victoria stopped wiping her dress and stared at her mother in complete disbelief.
Victoria: What is he talking about, Mom? You said this house was yours!
Julian: Mom lied to you for two whole years to keep control over us.
Elena looked up from her husband's shoulder, completely shocked by the sudden reveal.
She had no idea that Julian was the actual owner of the entire grand mansion.
