Within fifteen minutes, a black luxury sedan pulled up to the front entrance.
Richard's top family lawyer, Marcus Vance, walked quickly through the front door.
He carried a dark leather briefcase and looked very serious and focused.
Marcus: Richard, I came as fast as I could after your phone call.
Richard: Thank you for coming so quickly on such short notice, Marcus.
Marcus: Is little Maya unhurt after what took place here today?
Richard: Physical injury was avoided, but she is deeply shaken by this.
Marcus: Good, because safety is our absolute priority in this matter.
Victoria stood near the marble staircase with her arms crossed over her chest.
Victoria: You cannot hire a lawyer to kick me out of my house!
Marcus: Mrs. Vance, this mansion is protected under the prenuptial agreement you signed.
Victoria remembered the detailed legal papers she signed before the grand wedding.
Victoria: That prenup only applies if I choose to leave him voluntarily!
Marcus: It also applies if you endanger any member of this household.
Victoria: I did not endanger anyone, it was just a small slip!
Marcus opened his briefcase and pulled out a digital tablet with video files.
Marcus: We have saved the 4K security footage directly to our secure servers.
Victoria: That footage does not prove anything against my character!
Marcus: Any judge in this city will view that footage as child endangerment.
Victoria looked down at the shiny floor as her confidence completely collapsed.
Richard: Marcus, draw up the emergency divorce papers right now in my study.
Marcus: I already prepared the preliminary annulment filing on my drive here.
Victoria: Annulment? You cannot wipe away our entire marriage like this!
Richard: Our marriage was built on lies if you hated my daughter secretly.
Victoria: I love you, Richard! It was just a moment of bad temper!
Richard: Love does not hurt innocent children, Victoria, ever.
Marcus walked into the office to print the formal emergency legal documents.
