Richard's voice became frighteningly calm.
"Everyone," he called.
Within seconds, butlers, cooks, drivers, and housekeepers gathered in the foyer.
Victoria laughed.
"What are you doing?"
Richard looked at every employee.
"I want the truth."
No one moved.
Victoria's smile remained confident.

One by one, the employees began speaking.
They described impossible work schedules.
Sixteen-hour days.
Meals skipped as punishment.
Locked bedrooms.
Medical treatment denied after accidents.
Every bruise Emily carried had a story.
Every scar had a witness.
Richard clenched his fists harder with every sentence.
Victoria rolled her eyes.
"They're servants. They'll say anything."
Richard pulled out his phone.
"I don't need opinions."
He pressed a single button.
"My attorney has already been listening."
Victoria's smile disappeared.
Richard had accidentally activated his phone during the confrontation.
Everything had been recorded.
