Julian: Evelyn, wait! Don't do this! Think about the merger between our families' companies!
Evelyn: My family's reputation will not be dragged through the mud because of your sick, twisted secrets.
Julian: It was my father's idea! He wanted to ensure the Sterling bloodline had a proper legal heir without scandal!
Maria: The only scandal here is what you did to a helpless young mother to keep your money intact.
Leo: I'm going with Mommy! I don't want your toys, and I don't want this big house!
Julian: You belong here, Leo! You are a Sterling! You are the sole heir to this entire estate!
Leo: I don't care about the estate! I just want my mommy!
Maria: Come, Leo. Stand behind me. Nobody is going to hurt you or intimidate you ever again.
Julian: You step one foot off this property with my son, Maria, and I will have the police arrest you for kidnapping!
Evelyn's Father: Try it, Julian. I have three of the top family law attorneys in the state on retainer. They'll be at the courthouse by morning.
Julian: You're taking her side over mine? We've been business partners for a decade!
Evelyn's Father: I partner with businessmen, Julian, not heartless monsters who enslave the mother of their child.
Maria: I spent seven years staying silent because I was afraid of your power, Julian. But I am not afraid anymore.
Julian: You have no money, Maria! You have no job, no apartment, and no way to fight me in court!
Evelyn: She has me. I will personally fund her legal defense and give her a place to stay tonight.
Leo: Thank you, lady! Thank you!
Julian: Evelyn, you can't be serious! You're ruining our future over a maid!
Evelyn: No, Julian. You ruined your own future the day you treated human beings like property.
