Chapter 4 - Julian Demands Immediate Retaliation Tonight
Back in the grand dining room, Julian was red-faced, dripping with hot soup, and screaming at the top of his lungs.
“Mother, call security right now! Have her dragged out of this house and thrown onto the highway!” Julian shrieked.
Margaret lowered her hand, her chest heaving as she glared at Elena with pure, unadulterated venom in her eyes.
“Guards!” Margaret shouted toward the double doors leading to the main foyer. “Get in here this instant!”
The heavy doors swung open instantly, and two burly private security officers rushed into the elegant dining room.
“Yes, Mrs. Sterling?” the lead guard asked, glancing nervously between the dripping Julian and the defiant Elena.
“Remove this lunatic from my house immediately, and lock her in the basement storage unit until police arrive,” Margaret commanded.
The two guards stepped forward, reaching out massive hands to grab Elena by her crimson evening gown shoulders.
Elena didn't flinch, raising her chin with absolute regal dignity as the heavy hands closed around her fabric.
“If either of you touches me, my uncle’s federal marshals will dismantle this entire estate before midnight,” Elena warned.

“Don't listen to her lies! She’s mentally unstable!” Julian screamed, wiping orange carrot chunks from his collar.
