Raymond: Wait! Hayes, call my legal team! Freeze the assets! Use the corporate defense fund!
Lawyer Hayes: The defense fund belongs to the company, Raymond. And as of five minutes ago, the board voted unanimously to terminate your position as CEO.
Raymond: You can't do this to me! I built this company!
Clara: My father built this company. You just wore the suit and spent his legacy.
Officers stepped forward, pulling Raymond’s hands behind his back and snapping heavy steel handcuffs around his wrists. The ballroom filled with quiet murmurs and disgusted looks from his former business partners.
Veronica: Raymond, tell them I had nothing to do with this! Tell them I was just a guest on the yacht!
Investigator Miller: Miss Veronica, you are also being detained for questioning regarding accessory to reckless endangerment and failure to render aid.
Veronica: What?! I ruined my nails for this man! He promised me a penthouse in Manhattan!
Clara: You can share a holding cell while the state investigators review the bank transfers you received last month.
Raymond was marched past the long dining tables, his head hanging down as news camera flashes lit up his pale face. Outside the hotel entrance, local news vans had already gathered, blocking the exit lanes.
Reporter: Mr. Vance! Is it true you left your seven-year-old daughter in the ocean for an insurance payout?
Raymond: No comment! Get those cameras out of my face!
Reporter: Mrs. Vance! How did you survive the freezing conditions?
Clara: Love for my daughter kept me floating. Justice will do the rest.
