Julian: Father... tell me she's lying. Tell me you didn't forge Grandfather's will.
Arthur: I did what I had to do to protect this company! Your grandfather was old and confused when he signed those papers!
Clara: He wasn't confused at all, Arthur. He knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted to make sure my mother and I were protected from your greed.
Victoria: This can't be happening... Father, do something! Call our corporate lawyers! Call the mayor!
Clara: No attorney in this state can save you from bank fraud, estate embezzlement, and conspiracy, Arthur. The paper trail is absolute.
Senator Hayes: Arthur, what is the meaning of this? Is there any truth to these allegations?
Arthur: Senator, please! This is a minor private family dispute. We can step into my study and clarify everything—
Clara: There's no need to step into the study, Senator Hayes. The local authorities are already pulling up outside right now.
The distant sound of sirens echoed through the heavy glass windows of the estate. The wealthy donors and politicians inside the ballroom began whispering nervously, moving away from Arthur and Victoria as if their corruption was contagious.
Victoria: You ruined everything! You dirty little pest! I'll make sure you rot in prison for this!
Clara: You tried to kick me down like I was trash, Victoria. But you forgot one thing: my mother taught me how to fight back, and my father taught me how to finish the job.
Julian: Clara... what happens to the estate now? What happens to the family business?
Clara: The business will be audited, restructuring will begin, and every dollar stolen from my mother's trust will be returned with interest.
