Victoria: You think the board will support you on this, Ethan? The Sterling board of directors will drop you as CEO!
Ethan: The board answers to the majority shareholder. And according to my mother's will, Clara now owns forty percent of the company voting stock.
Victoria: Forty percent?! That's impossible! That stock is worth fifty million dollars!
Ethan: Fifty-two million as of yesterday's market close. And you tried to keep her working for twelve dollars an hour.
Outside, the faint sound of police sirens echoed down the quiet suburban avenue, growing louder every second.
Victoria: Ethan... I'll sign a quiet separation agreement! I'll walk away with just my personal car! Just don't let them lock me up!
Ethan: You're going straight to federal prison, Victoria. The IRS interest alone on hidden trust funds carries a mandatory sentence.
Clara: You treated me like dirt under your shoes... but I never wished bad on you. I just wanted my daughter to have a life.
Victoria: Shut up, Clara! Don't play the saint now! You planned this whole thing!
Ethan: Don't you dare speak to her like that!
Ethan firmly gripped Victoria's arm and dragged her across the marble floor toward the massive front entry doors.
Victoria: Unhand me! Let go of me!
Ethan: You don't deserve to spend another second inside this home!
Red and blue lights flashed through the tall glass windows as two police cruisers pulled up the long driveway, tires crunching over the gravel.
Ethan: Look out there, Victoria. Your high society life is officially over.
Officer Davis: Mr. Sterling? We received a call regarding an assault and fraud in progress.
Ethan: Officer Davis, thank you for arriving so quickly. This is Victoria Sterling. The video evidence of assault and evidence tampering is ready on my tablet inside.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, turn around and place your hands behind your back.
Victoria: This is a mistake! My husband is lying! Ask my lawyer!
Officer Davis: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
