Victoria backed up against the cold marble pillar in the center hall.
She looked around the massive foyer, looking for any way to escape consequences.
Victoria: Adrian, please, I only wanted what was best for our family!
Adrian: You almost destroyed my entire family today with your greed!
Victoria: I was nervous that Elena was spying on my personal files!
Adrian: Which files were you looking at in my private office yesterday?
Maya stepped forward and pointed at Victoria's expensive leather handbag nearby.
Maya: Dad, check her bag right now, she took your trust fund documents!
Adrian walked over to the side table and picked up the dark leather handbag.
He opened the metal clasp and pulled out several legal paper documents.
They were the official inheritance forms for little Leo's future wealth estate.
Victoria had been attempting to modify the signatures to claim the money early.
Adrian: You married me just to get your hands on my estate inheritance!
Victoria: That is not true, Adrian, I really do love you deeply!
Adrian: Do not speak another word of deceit to me again, Victoria!
Elena slowly stood up from the hard floor while holding the sleeping infant.
She walked over toward Maya, feeling deep gratitude toward the young teenager.
Elena: Thank you, Miss Maya, you saved my life and my reputation.
Maya: You protected my little brother, Elena, I had to tell truth.
Adrian looked at Elena with deep regret and embarrassment written on his face.
He realized how close he had come to punishing the wrong person today.
He felt ashamed for shouting at the woman who had protected his son.
Adrian: Elena, I am so sorry for doubting your loyalty to us.
Elena: I understand your fear as a loving father, Mr. Vance.
Adrian: You saved Leo today, and I will make sure you are rewarded.
Victoria realized that her luxurious lifestyle was ending right before her eyes.
She tried to slide toward the front entrance doors while everyone was talking.
However, Adrian heard her heels clicking against the smooth white marble floor.
Adrian: Stop right where you are, Victoria, you are not leaving here.
