The living room was silent except for the soft cries of little Leo.
Elena gently rocked the child until his frightened whimpers finally subsided.
Arthur stood towering over Victoria with a cold and unforgiving glare.
He pulled out his mobile phone to call the head of security.
Arthur: Marcus, bring the security team up to the main floor immediately.
Victoria realized the full gravity of the terrible situation she created.
She dropped her arrogant act and began to weep dramatic fake tears.
Victoria: Arthur, please forgive me, I was just so stressed today!
Arthur: Stress does not make a person attempt to harm a baby!
Elena: She has been tampering with his formula all week too, sir.
Arthur turned to Elena with renewed panic in his dark eyes.
Arthur: What are you saying, Elena? Is Leo in physical danger?
Elena: I caught her adding strange powders to his night bottles twice.
Elena: I replaced every bottle with fresh milk before he drank anything.
Victoria glared at Elena with absolute hatred in her eyes.
Victoria: You nosy little maid, you ruined everything I worked for!
Arthur: You tried to poison my only son and heir, Victoria?
Victoria laughed bitterly as her true wicked nature fully emerged.
Victoria: He stands between me and the entire family fortune!
Victoria: Why should a pathetic infant inherit millions instead of me?
Arthur raised his hand to demand total quiet in the room.
Arthur: You married me only for my money and real estate!
Victoria: Of course I did, you foolish and gullible old man!
The double doors clicked open as two heavy security guards entered.
They took positions on either side of the panicked young woman.
Arthur: Hold her right there while I inspect the room security cameras.
Victoria gasped as she realized the room had hidden security lenses.
