Liam: Afraid? Of what? A maid who thinks she is a child psychologist?
Elena: You are afraid that if you stop shouting, you will have to feel the silence in this apartment.
Liam: You don't know anything about my family or my life!
Elena: I know that your wife didn't abandon Leo. I know where she really went.
Liam: Shut your mouth! How dare you mention her name in this house!
Elena: Her name was Clara. And she loved this boy with every breath in her body.
Liam: She signed the trust fund agreement and left the country! The lawyers handled it!
Elena: Lawyers write what wealthy men pay them to write. But paper doesn't hide the truth forever.
Liam: Where are you getting this ridiculous nonsense? Did the tabloids hire you?
Elena: I don't care about your money or your newspapers. I care about the woman who hired me two years ago.
Liam: Two years ago? What are you talking about? You started working here three weeks ago!
Elena: Through an agency, yes. But Clara was the one who placed my application at the top of the file before she vanished.
Liam: That is impossible. Clara didn't manage the household staff hires!
Elena: She knew you would fire every high-priced nanny who tried to replace her.
Liam: You are lying! She didn't plan anything! She abandoned us!
Elena: Look at the framed American flag on that wall, Mr. Vance. Who put it there?
Liam: My grandfather gave me that flag! What does that have to do with anything?
Elena: Look behind the backing board of the frame. Clara left something there for Leo's third birthday.
Liam: How could you possibly know what is behind my family's heirloom frame?
Elena: Because I helped her hide it the night before your custody attorneys served her with those papers.
Liam: You... you knew her personally?
Elena: She was my sister, Liam.
