Victoria: "Your... your wife? Julian, are you insane? She's wearing a grey maid uniform!"
Julian: "She is the sole owner of this estate, Victoria. Every single piece of land, every room, every dollar in the bank account associated with this property belongs to her."
Chloe: "Julian... she tried to take him. She shoved me when I wouldn't hand him over."
Victoria: "She's lying! She was being careless near the second-floor balcony!"
Chloe: "She tried to drop the baby off the balcony!"
Julian turned around slowly. His eyes were cold as ice. The warmth he showed to Chloe vanished completely as he faced Victoria.
Julian: "You put your hands on my wife, and you put my son in danger?"
Victoria: "Julian, listen to me! I am your fiancé’s sister! You can't believe a hired hand over family!"
Julian: "First of all, the wedding is off. Second of all, Chloe is the founder of the real estate trust that funds your entire lifestyle."
Victoria took a step back, her high heels clicking loudly against the marble. Her face lost all its color.
Victoria: "That’s... that’s impossible. She’s been cleaning the floors all week!"
Chloe: "I clean my own home because I like taking care of my family. I don't need servants to do what a mother should do."
Victoria: "You tricked me! You set me up!"
Julian: "You set yourself up the moment you let your arrogance control you."
Julian moved with sudden, sharp anger. Before Victoria could react, he delivered a hard counter-slap straight across her cheek.
The impact knocked Victoria off balance. She staggered backward and fell hard onto the bright marble floor, her glittery dress spreading out around her like a broken pool of blue silk.
Victoria: "How dare you! I'll call the police! I'll sue you for assault!"
Julian: "Go ahead and call them. In fact, save your breath. They are already on their way."
Victoria: "On their way? For what?!"
Chloe: "For child endangerment, grand theft, and physical assault. We have camera footage of every single room in this house."
Victoria scrambled to her feet, clutching her red cheek, panic finally breaking through her cold mask.
Victoria: "You can't do this to me! Do you know who my father is?"
Julian: "Your father's company is currently being foreclosed on by Chloe's legal team."
Victoria's eyes went wide. She looked from Julian to Chloe, realizing for the first time that the power she thought she held was completely fake.
Victoria: "No... no, please. Julian, talk to her. It was just a misunderstanding!"
Julian: "There is no misunderstanding here. You showed us exactly who you are."
Julian grabbed Victoria firmly by the arm, squeezing tight enough that she couldn't break free. He began dragging her across the polished floor toward the front entrance.
Victoria: "Let go of me! You're hurting me!"
Julian: "You are going straight to federal prison!"
The heavy doors slammed open as two police officers walked up the front steps, their hand restraints clicking in the afternoon quiet.
