The giant double entrance doors of the mansion swung wide open with a loud thud.
Richard Vance stepped inside holding his heavy leather briefcase and financial files.
He wore his sharp grey business suit and a look of deep fatigue.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Victoria running down the stairs.
Richard: What is happening here in my home on a Tuesday morning?
Victoria paused on the middle step and adjusted her dark green satin gown quickly.
She tried to put on a soft and calm face for her husband.
Victoria: Darling, the maid has lost her mind and tried to take Leo!
Elena appeared at the top landing of the grand stairs holding the baby.
She pointed her finger directly down at Victoria with righteous anger.
Elena: Help, Mr. Vance! She tried to isolate your child to seize his inheritance!
Richard looked up at Elena and saw the true terror in her eyes.
He looked back at his young wife who was trembling on the stairs.
Richard: Is this true, Victoria?
Victoria: Of course not, Richard! She is just an unstable staff member making up stories!
Elena walked down the marble steps carefully while cradling baby Leo safely.
She handed the calm infant over to Richard's strong waiting arms.
Elena: Look inside her coat pocket for the fake adoption paperwork, sir.
Richard reached out and pulled the folded white paper from Victoria's deep pocket.
He scanned the legal text quickly while his face turned dark red with fury.
The document showed an illegal custody transfer to an offshore shell company.
Richard: You planned to steal my son and take control of the trust fund!
Victoria: It was all just a financial misunderstanding, my love!
Richard: Do not call me your love ever again, Victoria!
Victoria backed away toward the front hallway wall under his heavy stare.
She realized her luxurious life of wealth was collapsing around her instantly.
Victoria: You cannot prove anything in a court of law against me!
Richard: I have more proof than you could ever imagine, you foolish woman.
