Victoria: Mark, please! I've been a loving wife to you for two years!
Mark: Two years of playing the sweet stepmother while I was at the corporate office.
Victoria: I built a life with you in this mansion!
Mark: You built a lifestyle using my late wife's estate fund!
Leo: Daddy... my chest hurts from the water...
Mark immediately dropped back to his knees, wrapping his arms around Leo.
Mark: Elena, call Dr. Reynolds right now and tell him to get to the house.
Elena: Right away, Mr. Vance.
Elena turned and ran back toward the patio glass doors, pulling her phone from her apron pocket.
Victoria took a step closer, her emerald green dress swishing against the wet marble.
Victoria: Mark, you don't need a doctor. He's just cold. Take him inside and let him rest.
Mark: Don't come near us, Victoria.
Victoria: I am your wife! You cannot speak to me like I'm a criminal in front of the staff!
Mark: You just attempted to drown my son!
Victoria: That is a severe allegation, Mark! If you say that in public, it will ruin my family reputation!
Mark: Your reputation is the last thing I care about right now.
Victoria: My father is a senior partner at the law firm that manages your corporate accounts!
Mark: Then your father can represent you when the police arrive.
Victoria's jaw dropped, her green eyes wide with sudden panic.
Victoria: You called the police?!
Mark: The moment I jumped into that pool, I pressed the emergency alert button on my smartwatch.
Victoria: You called the police on your own wife over an accident?!
Mark: It wasn't an accident, Victoria. And you're about to find out what happens when you touch my family.
Victoria: Mark! Think about the media! Think about what this will do to the company stock before the board meeting tomorrow!
Mark: The board meeting is the least of your concerns, Victoria.
