Victoria's face turned pale as her husband stood up to his full imposing height.
Arthur glared down at his wife, his posture radiating authority and absolute disappointment.
Arthur: You thought you could harm my heir and blame my faithful housekeeper?
Victoria: Arthur, please, you are letting your temper control your judgment!
Martha: Sir, there is something else you need to know about her recent actions.
Arthur: Speak freely, Martha, you have my complete support and trust.
Martha: Yesterday, I overheard her speaking to a family estate lawyer on the balcony.
Victoria: Shut your mouth, Martha, before I fire you instantly!
Arthur: You do not have the power to fire anyone in this house, Victoria.
Arthur: Continue, Martha, what did you hear regarding the family trust?
Martha: She asked if Julian's trust fund would transfer to her if he was declared unfit.
A heavy silence fell over the marble foyer as the security guards shifted their footing.
Julian held Martha's hand tightly, safe in the presence of his protective father.
Arthur took a slow step toward Victoria, his eyes filled with fierce determination.
Arthur: Is this why you married me, Victoria? For the corporate fortune?
Victoria: No! I love you, Arthur! I would never hurt our family!
Arthur: You do not love anyone except yourself and your luxury lifestyle.
Victoria: I am your legal wife, and you cannot throw me out over rumors!
Arthur: You signed a prenup agreement before our wedding ceremony in June.
Victoria: That agreement only applies if I breach the standard marital conduct clause!
Arthur: Endangering my son's life is the ultimate breach of that legal contract.
Victoria looked around the room, realizing that nobody present was on her side.
She narrowed her eyes, shedding her fake tearful act and revealing her cruel personality.
Victoria: You think you can replace me so easily without a massive public scandal?
Arthur: I do not care about headlines when my son's safety is at stake.
Victoria: The media will ruin your corporate reputation if you do this!
Arthur: My corporate legal team will handle the press before sunset today.
