Victoria tried to take the envelope from Daniel.
He stepped away.
No.
Guests nearby began moving closer.
Victoria lowered her voice.
Do not do this here.
Daniel looked around the ballroom.
You were willing to move my money without telling me.
But now you are worried people might hear about it?
Victoria became angry.
I was protecting our future.
Daniel shook his head.
By forging my signature?
Marcus stepped between them when the argument became more intense.
Victoria blamed him.
She claimed Marcus had been trying to turn Daniel against her for months.
Marcus remained calm.
Then show him the bank statements.
Victoria froze.
Daniel immediately noticed.
What bank statements?
Marcus reached into his jacket and removed a small folder.
These.
Victoria tried to leave.
Daniel called security.
Not to hurt anyone.
Only to stop the documents from disappearing.
For the first time that night, Victoria realized she was no longer controlling the story.
