Ethan bounded up the grand staircase two steps at a time with a concerned expression.
He arrived on the second-floor balcony just as Victoria grabbed Elena's arm roughly.
Ethan: What on earth is happening here? Take your hands off her, Victoria!
Victoria immediately let go and dropped to her knees, fabricating a dramatic, tearful scene.
Victoria: Oh Ethan, thank goodness you are home! This maid just attacked me!
Victoria: She was trying to steal your private legal documents from the safe!
Elena stood tall and calm, holding out the folder directly toward Ethan's hands.
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Vance. Please examine these papers right now.
Ethan took the folder from Elena and began reading through the modified trust agreement.
His eyes widened in shock as he recognized the forged signatures and altered clauses.
The documents completely removed baby Leo from inheriting any part of the family fortune.
They transferred full power of attorney and asset ownership directly to Victoria alone.
Ethan: What is the meaning of this, Victoria? This is my personal signature forged!
Victoria's tearful act collapsed instantly as her face turned pale with utter horror.
Victoria: Ethan, please listen to me! I only did it to secure our future!
Victoria: That child is too young to handle such massive wealth and responsibilities!
Ethan's voice boomed through the high-ceilinged mansion with intense, authoritative anger.
Ethan: You tried to disinherit my infant son under my own roof for greed!
Ethan: You used my absence to commit outright fraud against my family and child!
Victoria stood up slowly, her sparkling royal blue gown looking ridiculous amidst her shame.
Victoria: Ethan, you cannot believe a servant over your own lawful wedded wife!
Ethan: Elena has served this family with complete loyalty for over ten whole years!
Ethan: You, on the other hand, have shown your true selfish nature today clearly.
Ethan pulled out his phone and immediately called the estate's private security team.
Ethan: Security detail, come to the second-floor balcony immediately without any delay!
Victoria backed away in terror as she realized her life of luxury was ending.
