Mark sprinted up the grand staircase with his heart beating fast.
He saw his young daughter leaning heavily on her small crutches.
She held her crying baby brother tightly against her trembling chest.
Victoria stood over them with a harsh and bitter expression.
Lily: Daddy, help us please!
Victoria: Shut your mouth right now, you spoiled brat!
Victoria stepped forward and yelled loudly at the defenseless children.
Lily lost her footing on the slick marble and fell down.
Mark rushed forward and shielded his children with his own arms.
He pulled Lily and the baby safely against his navy suit.
Mark: Get your hands away from my kids right now!
Lily: Daddy, she locked us up and wouldn't feed us!
Victoria: Mark, don't listen to her ridiculous lies!
Mark: I have heard enough of your fake excuses!
Mark's body trembled with overwhelming fury and deep heartbreak.
He realized he had let a cruel monster into his home.
He grabbed his phone and immediately dialed his personal divorce lawyer.
He instructed his legal team to freeze every joint bank account.
He called the local sheriff's department to report child neglect.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she realized the grand consequence.
She tried to reach for Mark's arm to beg for forgiveness.
Mark stepped back with cold disgust in his dark eyes.
He ordered her to stand near the heavy front exit doors.
The grand dream of wealth had completely vanished for the stepmother.
