Daniel held his daughter close while staring down at the glowing phone glass.
The text message was sent from an unknown number late last night.
It detailed a full plan to take control of his family trust fund.
Daniel felt a sharp pain in his chest as he read every word.
He had spent five years building his life after his first wife passed.
Everything he owned was meant to protect Lily's bright future.
Now a dark plot sat revealed right in the palm of his hand.
Victoria took a quick step closer with her hands held out flat.
Victoria: Daniel, let me explain what you are reading right now!
Victoria: That message is just a terrible misunderstanding from a friend!
Daniel: A misunderstanding does not mention taking my home from my child.
Lily buried her face into Daniel's shoulder while shaking with fear.
Daniel smoothed his daughter's soft hair with his left hand.
He swiped his thumb across the bright screen to scroll further down.
Another voice recording began to play automatically through the clear speaker.
A harsh voice stated that the kid would be sent far away later.
The loud audio rang clearly across the quiet marble wedding hall.
Several early guests turned their heads in complete shock at the sound.
Victoria gasped loudly and covered her mouth with her trembling fingers.
Her carefully made-up face looked pale and hollow under the lights.
Daniel: You were going to send my daughter away from me?
Victoria: No, I would never do something so cruel to Lily!
Victoria: Someone modified those audio clips to ruin my special wedding day!
Daniel: Stop lying to me when the proof is right here.
Lily raised her small head and pointed at the bottom thumbnail photo.
Lily: Dad, there is another photo attached near the bottom file.
Daniel tapped the tiny image icon with his trembling thumb immediately.
The clear image expanded across the high resolution phone screen.
It showed Victoria sitting inside a private legal office two weeks ago.
She was signing a stack of legal papers next to a lawyer.
The title on the document was clearly visible in the bright photo.
It was an application to transfer property rights without owner consent.
Daniel stared at the photograph in total disbelief and cold anger.
Victoria took two steps backward as her knees wobbled under her gown.
She realized that her entire secret scheme had completely fallen apart.
The bright hall seemed to close in on her from every side.
Victoria: Daniel, please listen to my voice for just one moment!
Daniel: Do not step any closer to me or my child.
