Victoria backed against the wooden door frame of the office as her hands trembled out of fear.
Victoria: Mark, please, I have nowhere else to go if you kick me out!
Mark: You tried to harm my daughter to ruin Sarah's reputation!
Sarah: It wasn't just about me, Mark. Look at what else came up on the server log today.
Sarah clicked another folder on the computer screen that contained stored document scans from the home printer.
A series of printed pages popped up showing legal documents sent from a local estate lawyer's office.
Victoria had been secretly trying to modify the family trust documents using forged signatures over the past month.
She wanted to gain full control over the house and the life insurance policy before the end of the year.
If Sarah appeared unfit to care for the baby, Victoria planned to file for custody inside the family court.
That would give her full leverage over Mark's monthly trust fund payments from the family business asset pool.
Mark leaned closer to the monitor screen, reading the fake signatures written across the official legal papers.
Mark: You forged my father's signature on these trust fund paper forms?
Victoria: That estate money belonged to me just as much as it belonged to you!
Sarah: You put a baby in danger just for a monthly check!
Victoria: You stole my place in this home when you married him!
Mark: My father left you a generous living allowance, but that ends today!
Mark pulled his cell phone from his blazer pocket and dialed the number for the local police station.
Victoria gasped and made a fast move toward the office desk to grab the phone out of his hand.
Sarah stepped firmly into her path, blocking her completely with a stern and cold expression on her face.
Sarah: Do not take another step toward my husband.
Victoria: You ruined everything for me!
Sarah: You ruined your own life the moment you unlatched that gate upstairs.
