Marcus set Evelyn down gently on the soft leather sofa nearby.
Her hands were still shaking as she looked up at the ceiling.
Marcus: Are you hurt anywhere, Evelyn?
Evelyn: I am just shaken up by what she did.
Marcus: She went way too far this time.
Victoria walked slowly down the wide curved staircase toward them.
She held her red silk dress carefully while maintaining a cold smile.
Victoria: Marcus, you have no business interfering in my home.
Marcus: This mansion does not belong to you, Victoria.
Victoria: The legal deed has my signature at the bottom.
Marcus: A signature that you forced her late father to sign.
Victoria stopped on the fifth stair step and crossed her arms tightly.
Victoria: You cannot prove any of those wild claims in court.
Evelyn: We found the original ledger inside your office safe!
Victoria's cold expression flickered with a sudden flash of panic.
Victoria: You broke into my personal private office?
Marcus: We opened the safe that contained the true family accounting.
Evelyn pointed to the scattered pages lying on the marble floor.
Evelyn: My father never cut me out of his life insurance policy.
Evelyn: You moved millions of dollars into offshore bank accounts last year.
Victoria: That money was spent on maintaining this massive estate!
Marcus: The transaction records tell a completely different story, Victoria.
Marcus pulled his phone out of his inner jacket pocket rapidly.
His fingers tapped the screen with firm and decisive movements.
Victoria rushed down the remaining stairs with a sharp gasp.
Victoria: Do not make a call you will regret, Marcus!
Marcus: The time for talking is completely over now.
He brought the phone to his ear while watching her closely.
Marcus: Get the authorities here immediately!
Victoria: Put that phone down right now, Marcus!
Marcus: There is a situation involving fraud and assault at this address.
Evelyn stood up from the sofa and stood beside Marcus courageously.
Evelyn: Your web of lies ends today, Victoria.
Victoria glared at both of them as sirens echoed in the distance.
