The lead police officer stepped onto the black and white floor carefully.
He looked at the crowd before focusing on Julian and Maya standing together.
Officer: We received a report regarding stolen corporate funds and check fraud.
Julian: I am the caller, officer, and the suspect is right here.
Julian pointed directly at Victoria, who was crying tears of anger.
Victoria: Officer, this catering girl attacked me and ruined the party!
Officer: We have security footage showing you knocking the tray over first.
Victoria went quiet as the legal advisor opened a black leather briefcase.
Attorney: Miss Vance, we have clear evidence of illegal money transfers today.
Attorney: You forged Eleanor Miller's signature on three separate bank forms.
Maya held the check tightly against her chest with relief and satisfaction.
She knew her mother would finally get the best doctors available tomorrow.
Maya: You tried to humiliate me to keep me from asking questions.
Victoria: You were supposed to be too poor to hire any lawyers!
Maya: Honest people always find a way to make truth shine through.
The police officer pulled out metal handcuffs from his duty belt slowly.
Officer: Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for grand larceny and fraud.
Victoria: Do not touch me! Do you know who my father is?
Julian: Father already knows, and he authorized this entire police action.
Victoria gasped loudly as the officer placed the cuffs on her wrists.
The wealthy guests watched in utter shock as she was led away.
Her silk dress brushed against the smashed cake still lying on floor.
The public humiliation was complete, leaving Victoria with no remaining power.
Maya turned to Julian with a calm look of deep gratitude in eyes.
Maya: Why did you decide to help me end this nightmare today?
Julian: Your mother saved our company from bankruptcy five years ago.
Julian: My sister tried to destroy her legacy out of pure greed.
Maya: Thank you for doing the right thing when it mattered most.
Julian: The justice process is only just beginning for your family, Maya.
