Victoria: Put those phones away! Turn off those cameras right now, all of you!
Guest 1: We are broadcasting this live on social media, Victoria! Everyone in Dallas knows what you did now!
Guest 2: You treated Edward's lost daughter like a slave! You are a monster!
Victoria: Shut up! None of you know what I went through to keep this family afloat after Edward died!
Ethan: You didn't keep us afloat, Victoria. You bled our family trust fund dry while keeping my sister hidden in poverty!
Lily: When my foster mother died, a woman came to the orphanage and paid them money to take me away to a boarding school in West Texas...
Ethan: What boarding school, Chloe?
Lily: It wasn't a real school. It was a secluded facility where they made us work all day. They told me I had no real family and no last name.
Arthur: That explains the offshore bank transfers we found in Victoria's accounts linked to a private facility in El Paso.
Ethan: You paid a fake facility to lock my sister away so she would never learn her real identity?!
Victoria: She was better off there! She was a quiet child who didn't fit into high society!
Ethan: You absolute monster! She was an innocent child!
Lily: I remember crying in the dark every night, holding this coin locket because it was the only thing I had left of my real mother.
Ethan: Mother gave you that coin before she died because she knew Victoria was trying to push her out of father's life.
Victoria: Clara was weak! She couldn't handle the pressure of the Vance name!
Ethan: Clara was a kind, loving woman, unlike you! You married my father for his estate and his money!
Victoria: I deserved every dollar! I gave twenty years of my life to this family!
Arthur: You gave twenty years of fraud, Victoria. And now the Texas state prosecutors have enough evidence to freeze all your private bank accounts immediately.
Victoria: You can't freeze my accounts! That money is under my personal legal name!
Arthur: Accounts funded with stolen money from a minor's trust fund are subject to immediate federal seizure.
Victoria: This is a conspiracy! You are all working together to ruin me!
Ethan: You ruined yourself, Victoria. You let your greed blind you to basic humanity.
Lily: I never wanted your money, Mrs. Vance. I only wanted to know who my parents were and why nobody came looking for me.
Ethan: We were looking for you every single day, Chloe. Victoria intercepted every private investigator report I hired over the last ten years.
Siren lights began flashing through the grand ballroom's floor-to-ceiling glass windows, casting red and blue reflections across the crowd.
Ethan: The police are here, Victoria. Your reign over this house is finally over.
