Mark turned his attention away from Victoria for a brief moment to focus on Clara.
He reached down with a warm hand and gently helped the bruised maid stand up.
Mark: Are you injured, Clara?
Clara: I am fine, sir, but please check on Leo first!
Mark immediately knelt down on the hard marble floor beside his frightened son.
He wrapped his strong arms around Leo, lifting him tight into a loving hug.
Mark: You're safe now.
Leo buried his face into his father's dark navy suit jacket, sobbing hysterically.
Leo: Daddy, she said you were going to send me away forever!
Mark: Never, my sweet boy, nobody will ever hurt you again in this home!
Mark stood up slowly while holding his precious son securely in his arms.
He pointed a strict, commanding finger directly at Victoria's trembling chest.
Mark: I met with the estate lawyer and the private investigator this morning!
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she held her breath in shock.
Mark: They found out you were secretly draining Leo's college trust fund account!
Victoria: That is a complete misunderstanding, Mark, I can explain everything!
Mark: You married me only for the money and treated my son like dirt!
Victoria: Please, darling, think of our public reputation before you act!
Mark: You have ruined your own life through your endless greed and cruelty!
The wealthy father motioned to the two large security officers standing by the doorway.
The guards stepped forward with serious expressions, ready to carry out his direct order.
