Mark did not move an inch from his position near the marble stairs.
Mark: Get out of my house right now, Victoria.
Victoria: I have every legal right to visit my family home whenever I choose.
Mark: You broke into my private study and tampered with security cameras upstairs.
Victoria glanced past Mark toward Sarah, who held the infant closely.
Victoria: I am simply looking out for the best interests of this family.
Mark: Stealing trust fund documents is not looking out for family interest.
Victoria: You are completely overwhelmed running this company alone while raising an infant.
The lawyer stepped forward and adjusted his dark necktie nervously.
Lawyer: Mr. Sterling, we have recorded evidence regarding inadequate childcare conditions here.
Mark: Who paid you to write such nonsense in that folder?
Lawyer: We have statements signed by temporary household staff members.
Sarah stepped out from behind Mark with a calm and icy expression.
Sarah: Those statements are completely fabricated and you know it.
Victoria: You are just a hired nanny, Sarah, so do not speak to my attorney.
Sarah: I am the person who sees how much Mark cares for his son every single day.
Victoria: You were offered a generous payment to leave without making a scene today.
Mark: So you admit you tried to bribe my household staff members?
Victoria realized her mistake instantly and bit her lower lip in frustration.
Victoria: That is not what I meant and you know it very well.
Mark: I recorded this entire conversation on my personal phone inside my pocket.
Mark pulled out his smartphone, showing the live audio recording application running on screen.
The lawyer looked at Victoria with immediate concern in his eyes.
Lawyer: Miss Sterling, we should discuss this matter in private before proceeding further.
Victoria: Be quiet, we are not leaving this hallway without signing the guardianship papers.
Mark: You will never touch a single dime of my son's trust fund money.
Victoria: The board meeting starts in one hour, Mark, and you do not have the votes.
Mark: I have more than enough votes once the board sees your illegal actions today.
Victoria took two steps toward Sarah with an angry look on her face.
Victoria: Give me that child right now or I will destroy your reputation in this city!
Mark: Touch her or my son, and you will be arrested on the spot.
