Mark stood up tall on the upper landing with his jaw clenched in absolute rage.
His chest heaved as he pointed a rigid finger directly at Victoria's Pale face.
Mark: Don't you ever dare threaten my child or touch her again!
Victoria: You chose her over me the day we got married!
Mark: Get out of my house right now before I call the authorities!
Victoria stumbled backward into the wall, clutching her chest as her face turned red.
She had never seen Mark look so fiercely determined or utterly consumed with anger.
Victoria: You can't just throw me out without a legal divorce settlement!
Mark: Watch me, Victoria. The police are coming for endangerment!
Lily wrapped her arms around Mark's waist and buried her wet face in his coat.
Mark stroked his daughter's soft hair while keeping his steady eyes locked on Victoria.
Mark: Go to your room, pack your personal clothes, and leave immediately.
Victoria: I have rights to this mansion as your legal spouse!
Mark: The prenup you signed explicitly voids everything in cases of domestic endangerment.
Victoria froze as the reality of her terrible situation finally sank deep into her mind.
She had forgotten the strict legal clause Mark's lawyers had insisted on two years ago.
Every financial advantage she had sought was now completely out of her reach forever.
Victoria: Mark, please, I was just stressed about our financial future together!
Mark: You threatened a nine-year-old girl for money. We are completely finished.
Victoria turned around in defeat and scurried down the hallway toward her master bedroom.
Mark gently picked Lily up into his strong arms and held her very close.
Mark: You are completely safe now, Lily. I will never let anyone hurt you.
Lily: Is she going away for good, Daddy?
Mark: Yes, sweetie. She is leaving this home tonight and never coming back.
They walked down the grand stairs together, leaving the cold atmosphere far behind them.
Mark placed the crystal music box safely on the central table in the warm living room.
He pulled out his phone and dialed his private security detail and main legal team.
Within minutes, two large black SUV vehicles pulled up into the circular front driveway.
