Victoria confronted the Davises, but they denied everything. Her neighbor, Mr. Thompson, confirmed the repainting had been done under a forged work order, in the Davises’ name. Victoria was furious, feeling her neighbors had erased her husband’s memory with a “bucket of paint.”
She stormed to the painting company’s office, demanding answers. The manager, Gary, was apologetic and explained, “We thought it was their house.” Victoria insisted on suing, and the painting company agreed to cooperate.
In court, the painting company’s workers testified against the Davises. The judge found the Davises guilty of fraud and vandalism, ordering them to repaint the house back to yellow and cover all costs, including court fees. Outside the courthouse, Mrs. Davis hissed, “I hope you’re happy.” Victoria smiled sweetly, replying, “I will be when my house is YELLOW again!”
Victoria’s determination to stand her ground paid off, restoring both her home’s color and her peace of mind.
