Marcus: A will? You expect me to believe my brother left a secret will with a catering staff worker?
Helena: I wasn't catering when Julian met me, Marcus. I was an estate manager at the main house before your greed destroyed everything.
Marcus: You were a opportunistic nobody who seduced my brother while he was recovering from his illness!
Helena: He was sick because you were slowly altering his medication dosage to make him appear incompetent to the board of directors!
Guest 1: Oh my goodness... did she just accuse him of poisoning?
Guest 2: Is the news reporter capturing this? Get the camera closer!
Marcus: That is slander! You will rot in prison for making accusations like that without proof!
Helena: I have the medical records, Marcus. Julian suspected what you were doing months before he fled to Europe with me. He kept every blood test, every prescription bottle, and every email exchange between you and his private doctor.
Marcus: Stop talking! Security, I am paying you five thousand dollars each to throw this woman into the street right now!
Security Guard: Sir, with all due respect, if there's a child involved and legal claims being made, we cannot physically touch her until the police arrive.
Marcus: You useless fools! Fine, I’ll throw you out myself!
Marcus lunged forward, reaching for Helena’s arm, but a sudden loud voice echoed from the heavy double doors at the entrance of the cathedral.
Lawyer: Step away from her, Marcus!
An elderly man in a sharp grey suit marched down the center aisle, holding a thick leather briefcase. The guests immediately recognized him—it was Arthur Vance, the senior partner of Vance & Associates, the oldest and most respected estate law firm in the state.
Marcus: Arthur? What are you doing here? You’re supposed to be finalizing my wedding prenup at the office!
Arthur Vance: I was, Marcus. Until Mrs. Helena Montgomery provided me with verified forensic evidence of Julian’s signature and the official registration of young Leo’s birth certificate this morning.
Marcus: Mrs. Montgomery? You’re actually taking the side of a maid over me?! I am the chief executive officer of Montgomery Holdings!
Arthur Vance: As of one hour ago, Marcus, you are no longer the CEO. The emergency board meeting was called, and your power of attorney has been suspended pending a full judicial audit of the family estate.
Marcus: You can't do this to me! I spent seven years building this company after Julian left!
Arthur Vance: You spent seven years hiding the fact that Julian left behind a legal wife and a legitimate child so you could drain the trust fund dry.
Leo: Mommy... is that man going to take our home again?
Helena: No, sweetheart. Nobody is taking anything from us ever again.
