The sound of heavy boots echoed from the grand staircase outside the dining hall. Four uniformed Dallas police officers entered the room, led by Detective Miller, who stepped forward with a confident stance.
Detective Miller: Mr. Vance, we received your emergency silent alarm signal from the estate security system. What's the situation here?
Arthur: Detective, I have a physical electronic device intended to interfere with my medical equipment, a transmitter found in my fiancee's possession, and audio evidence of an attempted extortion plot.
Victoria: Detective, this maid is trying to frame us! She brought the device into the building!
Elena: I have all the text messages and the wire transfer receipts on my phone, Detective! I came forward because I realized what they were really planning to do!
Detective Miller: Hand over the phone, miss. We'll take a full statement.
Detective Miller signaled to his officers, who immediately moved toward Victoria, Richard, and Howard. Metal handcuffs clicked loudly through the silent hall, sending shockwaves across the crowd of wealthy onlookers.
Victoria: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am? I'm Arthur Vance's fiancee!
Arthur: As of five minutes ago, Victoria, our engagement is officially terminated. And my legal team will be filing for a full recovery of all gifts, properties, and pre-nuptial allowances previously granted to you.
Richard: Arthur, please! We're family! Don't do this to your own brother!
Arthur: You ceased being my brother the second you put a price tag on my life.
Howard: You won't win this in court, Vance! My lawyers will dismantle this weak evidence in five minutes!
Arthur: My legal team has a perfect record, Howard. And with Elena's testimony, your shell company bank records, and the transmitter forensics, you'll be spending the rest of your life in a federal penitentiary.
