The Shards of Champagne Glass

The Broken Glass and the Secret Inside the Golden Button

Arthur: Security! Get this woman out of my house immediately before I file charges!

Maya: Mr. Sterling, I didn't drop those glasses. Someone deliberately pushed that table to hurt Noah.

Arthur: Do you really expect me to believe that a guest in my home pushed over a champagne pyramid? You tripped over your own feet!

Noah: Dad, she’s telling the truth! A tall man in a dark coat pushed the table!

Arthur: Quiet, Noah. You're frightened and confused. Go with the nanny right now.

Maya: Please, sir, just look at the floor. The angle of the crash proves the push came from the back side.

Arthur: I don't care about your excuses. You ruined an elite charity gala and put my son in danger. You'll be lucky if I don't sue you for every penny you own.

Maya: I don't care about the money, sir. I care about the fact that someone in this room just tried to harm your family.

Arthur: Enough of your lies! Guards, escort her to the exit now!

Guard: Ma'am, come with us quietly. Don't make this any worse than it already is.

Maya: Wait! Look at my hands. I stepped in front of falling glass to protect your son. Look at my cuts!

Arthur: That was your own carelessness. You should have been watching where you were going.

Maya: I was watching Noah because nobody else was paying attention to him!

Arthur: How dare you judge my parenting! I pay a team of people to watch him!

Maya: Well, your team failed tonight, and I was the only one who jumped in!

Arthur: That was your job as staff! Now leave before I have you arrested for trespassing!

Maya: Fine, I'll go. But you are ignoring a dangerous enemy right in front of you.

Guard: Move it, lady. Let's go.

Maya: Let go of my arm! I can walk myself out!

Noah: Daddy, don't let them take her! She was nice to me!

Arthur: Go upstairs with your nanny, Noah. This instant!

Maya: Sir, just look at the floor near the table base!

Arthur: I see nothing but glass and wasted champagne.

Maya: Look closer. The table legs are bent outward from a violent kick, not a slip!

Arthur: That happened when the heavy tower fell. Don't teach me basic physics.

Maya: You are letting your pride blind you to the truth!

Arthur: My pride has nothing to do with your incompetence!

Maya: If it wasn't for me, Noah would be in an emergency room right now!

Arthur: Don't you dare use my son to cover up your disaster!

Maya: I am telling you the absolute truth!

Arthur: Out! Get her out of my sight right now!

Maya: Stop dragging me! I’m reaching for my shoes!

Guard: Keep moving, ma'am. Mr. Sterling's order is final.

Maya: Wait! Look at what was caught under the table frame!

Arthur: I said I don't care!

Maya pulled her hand back from the floor, holding a small gold object covered in blood and wet champagne.

Maya: This isn't mine. And it definitely didn't come from a glass flute.
