Mark stood frozen in the doorway for three long seconds before slowly stepping aside, his jaw clenched tight in bitter anger.
Mark: Fine. Walk out. See how far you get without my income paying for your credit cards.
Elena: I don't need your income, Mark. I have my own job, and I have my father's legacy.
Elena walked quickly down the hallway into the living room, grabbing her car keys from the counter.
Mark: Your job pays peanuts compared to what I bring in! You won't last a month on your own!
Elena: I'd rather live in a one-bedroom apartment with peace than live in this palace with a thief!
She pulled out her phone and dialed a number on speakerphone as she packed Leo's diaper bag with essential supplies.
Lawyer: Hello, Elena? This is Arthur's office. How can I help you today?
Elena: Mr. Vance, I have the forged post-nup documents and the trust transfer receipts right here in my hand.
Mark: Elena! Turn that off right now!
Lawyer: Elena, are you in a safe place? Did Mark attempt to hide the financial records?
Elena: I am packing my child's things right now, Mr. Vance. He tried to hide them in my purse, but my toddler found them.
Lawyer: Excellent. Do not hand those original copies back to him under any circumstances. Drive straight to my office downtown.
Mark: Mr. Vance! This is a private family matter! Stay out of my marriage!
Lawyer: Mark, as the executor of late Mr. Harrison's estate, I advise you to stay silent until your legal counsel is present.
Mark: You planned this! You were working with her attorney all along!
Elena: I called Mr. Vance last week when I noticed ten thousand dollars missing from Leo's savings account!
Mark: You spied on my personal accounts?
Elena: It was my son's account! You thought I wouldn't check the monthly statements?
Mark: I was moving funds to secure a high-yield treasury bond!
Lawyer: Mark, transferring trust funds into a personal LLC account without co-trustee approval is a federal crime.
Mark: It was an administrative mistake!
Lawyer: We will let the judge decide if forgery and wire fraud are administrative mistakes. Elena, I am waiting for you at the office.
Elena: I'm on my way, Mr. Vance. Thank you.
