Victoria took a slow sip from her crystal glass of lemon water.
She looked down at little Lily with absolute disdain and quiet harshness.
Victoria: Crying will not change anything in this luxury house, little girl.
Lily: My father promised me this party would be truly wonderful today.
Victoria: Your father is not here to save you from my decisions.
Victoria had married David merely six months prior to this terrible day.
She had pretended to be a loving mother during the courtship.
However, her true greedy personality emerged quickly after the legal wedding.
She wanted her daughter Chloe to receive the vast family estate trust.
David was a wealthy CEO who owned several modern medical companies.
His family fortune was worth millions of dollars in legal real estate.
Victoria hated how much David adored his only biological daughter Lily.
She constantly tried to push Lily out of the grand main house.
Lily: You are very mean to me whenever my dad leaves town!
Victoria: You need to learn your proper place in this wealthy family.
Chloe threw the stripped present wrapping paper onto the white floor.
Chloe: Look mom, this new gold necklace fits me completely perfectly!
Victoria: It looks absolutely stunning on you, my beautiful sweet angel.
Lily recognized the gold necklace as a gift from her late mother.
Her biological mother had passed away three peaceful years ago today.
David had kept that precious gold necklace locked inside his office safe.
Victoria had taken the key and removed the necklace that morning.
Lily: That is my mommy's necklace you just took from my dad!
Victoria: It belongs to someone who actually appreciates real high luxury now.
Lily tried to stand up from the marble floor near the wall.
Victoria stepped forward and pointed her long finger right at Lily.
Victoria: Stay down on that floor until I tell you to move.
Lily: I want my daddy to come home right this very minute!
Victoria: If you tell your father anything, I will sell your toys.
The little girl covered her teary face with both tiny hands.
Victoria smiled coldly as if she had won a great victory.
She believed she held complete control over the entire grand villa.
She did not realize that a heavy car was parking outside.
The front driveway tires crunched loudly against the fine white gravel.
Victoria adjusted her expensive beige dress while looking at the mirror.
She felt completely confident that her dark plan was working smoothly.
