The heavy mahogany doors of my private study slammed shut behind me, cutting off the lingering echoes of Victoria's desperate excuses from the hallway[cite: 2].
David: Marcus, I need an emergency asset freeze and a complete restraining order filed against Victoria within the hour.
Marcus: An asset freeze, David? That's a massive legal step. What on earth happened over at the mansion?
David: She literally just tried to murder my daughter by pushing her down the grand marble staircase[cite: 2].
A stunned silence hung over the secure phone line before Marcus responded with cold, professional urgency[cite: 2].
Marcus: Dear God... is the little girl physically unharmed? Do we need an ambulance at the estate[cite: 2]?
David: She's bruised and terrified, but Martha caught her fall just in time before she hit the base of the stairs[cite: 2].
Marcus: Thank heavens. What about the security cameras? Did they capture the push[cite: 2]?
David: Every single angle. The high-definition foyer cameras recorded her walking right up behind my daughter and shoving her over the rail[cite: 2].
Marcus: Excellent. I'm pulling up the original family trust agreement right now to check for moral turpitude clauses[cite: 2].
David: Use every legal clause available. Strip her of every corporate share, property deed, and voting right she holds in the family business[cite: 2].
Marcus: It will require formal police documentation and a signed affidavit from Martha detailing the exact sequence of events[cite: 2].
David: Martha is ready to sign right now. Get the local authorities involved and meet me at the front gates immediately[cite: 2].
Marcus: I'm dispatching the court courier and notifying Detective Reyes right now. Stay inside and keep the doors secured[cite: 2].
David: Make sure she doesn't escape through the back courtyard before the deputies arrive[cite: 2].
Marcus: The perimeter is already being monitored by my private investigators. She has nowhere left to run, David[cite: 2].
