Mark walked Hannah over to a plush sofa nearby.
He made sure she was sitting comfortably before turning around.
The house security guards rushed into the bright room.
Mark: Lock down every exit of this estate right now!
Security Guard: Right away, sir!
Margarethe started walking down the grand curved staircase slowly.
Her heels clicked loudly against the clean white steps.
She tried to look calm, but her hand trembled slightly.
Margarethe: You are overreacting over a cheap string of beads.
Mark: That necklace belonged to my late biological mother.
Margarethe: It was ugly and outdated anyway.
Mark: You tried to murder my future wife!
Margarethe: She has no money and no social status, Mark.
Hannah: Is that all you care about?
Margarethe: Money is the only thing that keeps this family respected.
Mark drew a thick legal envelope from his jacket pocket.
He had collected evidence for weeks regarding the estate fund.
Mark: My father left the entire inheritance to me, Margarethe.
Margarethe stopped on the bottom step and narrowed her eyes.
Margarethe: The trust fund stays under my control until next year.
Mark: The prenup and the master will were updated yesterday.
Margarethe: What are you talking about?
Mark: If I marry Hannah, your access to the money stops today.
Hannah looked up at Mark with complete surprise in her eyes.
She had no idea about the sudden change in the will.
Hannah: Mark, you never told me about the trust fund.
Mark: I wanted to protect you from her greedy schemes.
Margarethe: That estate money is mine by right!
Mark: You drained millions from the family business already.
Margarethe took a quick step forward with a sneer.
Margarethe: You cannot prove a single dollar was stolen.
Mark: The forensic accountant finished the audit this morning.
Margarethe's eyes shifted quickly toward the front front door.
She realized the trap had finally closed around her.
Mark: You tried to get rid of Hannah to stop the wedding.
Margarethe: You have no proof of what happened on that balcony!
Mark pulled out his phone and tapped the screen once.
A crisp high-definition video began playing on the display.
It clearly showed Margarethe cutting the string with heavy shears.
It showed her pushing Hannah backward off the edge deliberately.
Mark: Police officers are already waiting at the front gate.
