Marcus: Don't you dare touch her!
Victoria: Marcus! You're choosing a maid who ruined our wedding cake over your future wife?!
Marcus: You were never going to be my wife. You're a criminal who robbed my family's legacy.
Victoria: If you cancel this wedding now, the press will destroy your company's stock! Think about the investors downstairs! Think about the luxury mansion, the lawsuits, the public embarrassment!
Marcus: I don't care about the press. I care about justice.
Marcus pulled out his cell phone and dialed a short number on speed dial. He put the phone on speaker mode so everyone in the room could hear.
Police Dispatcher: Dallas Police Department, what is your emergency?
Marcus: My name is Marcus Vance. I am at the Vance Estate in North Dallas. I need officers sent to my address immediately to report grand larceny, fraud, and destruction of legal financial documents.
Victoria: NO! Hang up the phone, Marcus! Please!
Marcus: The suspect is currently in the main ballroom. Her name is Victoria Sterling. Please hurry.
Victoria gasped and backed away, her face filled with pure terror. She turned toward the grand double doors of the ballroom, looking for an escape route, but two security guards had already stepped inside, blocking the exit.
Victoria: You can't do this to me! I spent months planning this wedding! Millions of dollars are tied up in this estate event!
Marcus: Every single cent came from the money you stole from my father's trust fund.
Elena stood quietly beside the laptop, holding her burned wrists close to her chest. She watched as Victoria's elaborate scheme crumbled in seconds.
Marcus: Elena... why did you risk your job to bring this to me today? Why hide it in the cake?
Elena: Because Victoria's cousin threatened to destroy the evidence before the wedding started. Hiding it in the cake layer was the only way to get it past her private guards at the front gate.
Marcus: Your sister... she suffered burns because of this?
Elena: Victoria's men tried to torch the bakery backroom in New York last night to erase the paper records. My sister managed to grab the backup drive from the safe before escaping the fire.
