Mark: What did you do to my family, Clara?
Clara: Mark, sweetheart, you're upset and confused. This girl is lying to you.
Lily: I'm not lying! I have the letters, Daddy!
Lily: Look... this paper has the lady's name on it. She came to our house with men in suits!
Mark: Let me see that paper.
Mark: This is... this is a notice of foreclosure. Signed by Vance Financial Holdings.
Mark: Clara... Vance Financial is your father's firm. You manage that branch!
Clara: It was a simple business transaction, Mark! The mortgage was severely delinquent!
Mark: I transferred forty thousand dollars into our joint account six months ago specifically for Sarah’s medical treatments and the house payments!
Lily: Mommy never got any money, Daddy. We ate cold soup for two weeks.
Lily: Then Mommy went to sleep in the hospital and never woke up. The doctor gave me baby Mia and told me to run.
Mark: Sarah... Sarah is dead?!
Lily: She passed away four days ago, Daddy. They said we had to leave the house because the new owner bought it.
Guests: Dear Lord... this is horrific.
Guests: Clara’s family kicked out a dying woman and her kids?
Clara: Shut up! All of you, shut up!
Clara: Mark, listen to me! Sarah was from your past, a low-class distraction who held back your career!
Clara: You are the vice president of a fortune five hundred firm now! You couldn't be tied to a sick woman and two kids!
Mark: You intercepted my wire transfers?
Clara: I protected our future!
Mark: Answer me! Did you stop the money from reaching the hospital?!
Clara: She was going to die anyway, Mark! Why waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on a lost cause when we had our wedding and social standing to think about?!
Mark: You monster...
Lily: Daddy, the lady told Mommy that you didn't love us anymore because you were marrying a rich princess.
Mark: I never said that, Lily! Never!
Lily: Mommy cried every night... but she told me to find you if anything happened to her. She gave me this ring.
Mark: That's... that's my grandmother's ring. The one I gave Sarah when we got engaged eight years ago.
Clara: Give me that ring! That belongs to the estate now!
Mark: Don't you dare touch her!
Clara: Mark, think about your career! My father controls the board! If you walk out that door right now, you are ruined!
Mark: I don't care about the board. I don't care about this fake wedding.
Clara: You won't have a cent left! No trust fund, no luxury condo, no salary!
Mark: I came into this city with nothing, Clara. I can start over with nothing.
Lily: Daddy, are you coming home with us?
Mark: I am never leaving your side again, Lily. I swear it.
