Julian did not just stand there to defend his sister's pride.
He pulled out a thick manila folder from inside his dark suit jacket.
Julian: You thought I would never check the estate accounts, Chloe.
Chloe shifted her weight nervously while staring at the paper files in his hand.
Chloe: What are you talking about, Julian?
Julian: I am talking about the wire transfers you made last night.
He opened the top page and held it up for everyone to clearly see.
Julian: You moved two million dollars out of my family trust fund.
A collective gasp echoed through the crowded, sunlight mansion hallway.
Chloe: That was just an advance for our upcoming luxury wedding expenses!
Julian: You sent the money directly to an offshore account in your name.
Maya looked up at her brother with complete shock visible in her eyes.
Maya: Julian, she tried to steal our mother's remaining inheritance money?
Julian: Yes, Maya, that is exactly what she tried to do today.
Chloe's face turned completely red as her carefully constructed facade crumbled instantly.
Chloe: You cannot prove that I did anything illegal with those funds!
Julian: The federal bank auditors already verified your electronic signature this morning.
He tapped his phone screen to place a speakerphone call to the authorities.
Julian: Federal agents are already waiting outside the main gates right now.
Chloe took a frantic step backward toward the grand marble staircase.
Chloe: Julian, please, we can talk about this privately inside the office!
Julian: There is nothing left for us to talk about anymore, Chloe.
He turned his body to face all the gathered family friends and high-society guests.
Julian: Attention everyone, this wedding is officially canceled permanently.
The guests began whispering loudly as uniformed security guards walked inside the hall.
Julian: Escort this woman directly to the officers waiting at the gate.
Chloe tried to grab Julian's arm, but he calmly stepped out of her reach.
Chloe: You are ruining my life over a simple financial misunderstanding!
Julian: You ruined your own life the moment you attacked my family.
The security team firmly guided Chloe down the long hallway toward the exit doors.
Her loud complaints faded away as the front doors clicked shut completely.
Julian turned back toward Maya and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
Julian: I am so sorry I ever brought her into our lives, Maya.
Maya: You do not need to apologize for her terrible choices, Julian.
Julian: I will always protect you and keep our family estate safe.
Maya smiled softly as the lingering tension finally left the bright mansion hallway.
Maya: Let us go home and start fresh together today, brother.
They walked out into the warm daylight, leaving the past behind them forever.
