Ethan: Look at this date, Victoria. This will was filed six months before my father's death.
Victoria: I was only trying to protect our marriage! If she got her share, our lifestyle would be ruined!
Ethan: Protect our marriage? You turned my niece into a maid in her own family home!
Clara: I... I grew up thinking my parents left me with nothing. I worked double shifts to pay for my baby's medicine...
Ethan: And all the while, your trust fund was accumulating millions in interest right under this roof.
Victoria: She didn't deserve it! She's uneducated! She would have squandered the family fortune!
Ethan: You had no right to make that choice! You committed grand fraud and child concealment!
Victoria gasped, lunging forward to grab the papers out of Ethan's hands.
Victoria: Give those to me! You can't prove I put them in that wall!
Ethan: Get your hands off me!
Ethan raised his hand and delivered a hard, sharp counter-slap across Victoria's face. The force knocked her off balance, sending her sprawling onto the cold marble floor.
Victoria: Ah! You hit me! You actually struck your own wife!
Ethan: Never touch my family again! You slapped my niece, you pushed her while she held a baby, and you stole her life!
Victoria: I'll call the police! I'll sue you for domestic abuse!
Ethan: Go ahead! Call them! Let them inspect the concealed cavity you had custom-built during the remodel!
Clara: Mr. Ethan... please, don't let her hurt Lily.
Ethan: Nobody is touching you or Lily ever again, Clara. I promise you that on my life.
Victoria: You're going to throw away ten years of marriage for a maid?!
Ethan: You were never my wife in spirit, Victoria. You were a parasite bleeding my family dry.
Victoria: I made this house! I gave you status in Dallas high society!
Ethan: You gave us shame! And today it ends!
Ethan grabbed Victoria by the arm, pulling her up from the floor with stern discipline.
Victoria: Let go of me! You're hurting my wrist!
Ethan: You're leaving this mansion right now. Without a single piece of jewelry I bought you.
Victoria: You can't kick me out! My lawyers will strip you of every cent!
Ethan: Read the prenup clause four, Victoria. Any act of felony fraud against the Sterling family automatically voids your alimony!
