Victoria took a quick step back as Arthur held up the dark device.
Her eyes darted toward the front door as if searching for an escape.
Victoria: I was just trying to soothe her with white noise!
Elena: That machine was blaring loud static, sir.
Elena: It was hurting the baby's little ears.
Arthur felt a deep wave of anger rising inside his steady chest.
He loved his baby daughter more than anything else in the entire world.
His late wife had left him a massive fortune and a precious child.
He had signed a prenup before marrying Victoria to protect his family trust fund.
Victoria knew that if they divorced now, she would receive very little money.
Unless she could prove Arthur was an unfit father who neglected his kid.
Arthur: You were trying to make her cry on purpose.
Victoria: That is a complete and utter lie!
Victoria: Why would I ever do something like that?
Elena stepped forward carefully while keeping the sleeping baby safe in her arms.
Elena: I found these papers near the trash yesterday evening, sir.
Elena pulled a folded sheet of paper from her apron's front pocket.
She handed the paper over to Arthur with a steady quiet hand.
Arthur unfolded the crisp document and began reading the printed lines quickly.
It was a legal consultation form from a top family divorce lawyer downtown.
The notes detailed a plan to record baby distress to claim full custody.
If Victoria got custody, she would control a massive monthly child support payout.
She would receive millions of dollars every year from Arthur's family estate.
Arthur's hands trembled as he realized the dark plan behind her actions.
Arthur: You planned to take my child away from me?
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me!
Victoria: That paper means absolutely nothing!
Arthur: You used a defenseless baby for money!
Victoria's classy mask completely shattered into pure ugly panic right before them.
