Mark adjusted his footing and set Sarah safely down onto her feet beside him.
She clung to his strong arm, her face pale white with overwhelming emotional shock.
Her eyes were filled with tears as she pointed back up at the balcony.
Sarah: She... she pushed me! She tried to hurt me!
Mark: Stay behind me, Sarah. You are completely safe now.
Mark turned his face upward toward the high balcony balustrade with pure rage.
His jaw set firm into an expression of cold, unbridled fury right now.
Victoria stood upstairs looking down at them, her red dress standing out brightly.
Her face went completely pale when she realized Mark had caught Sarah in time.
Her wicked plan to seize the estate had failed in a single quick second.
Victoria: This is a mistake! She lost her footing on her own!
Mark: I saw everything you did with my own eyes, Victoria!
Mark reached smoothly into his suit jacket and pulled out his private smartphone.
His fingers tapped the screen quickly to dial the local police department right away.
He held the phone firmly to his ear while keeping his eyes locked upstairs.
Mark: Dispatch, send emergency units to the estate right now!
Operator: Sir, what is the exact nature of your emergency today?
Mark: Call the police right now! We have an assault in progress here!
Operator: Officers are already in your immediate area and moving quickly.
Victoria began to back away slowly from the railing toward the dark back hallway.
She realized that her entire life was about to collapse around her very quickly.
Victoria: You cannot prove anything! It was just a horrible home accident!
Sarah: The security cameras in the hallway caught every single second on tape!
Victoria froze dead in her tracks when she heard the word camera mentioned today.
She had forgotten that her late father had installed high-definition cameras everywhere recently.
The system was linked directly to the main server inside Mark's private office downstairs.
Every aggressive move she made was saved on high-resolution video file storage right now.
Victoria: You set a trap for me from the moment I arrived!
Mark: You walked straight into your own greed, Victoria. Stay right where you are.
