Police Officer: Ma'am, step away from the purse and put your hands behind your back.
Victoria: Get your hands off me! Do you know how much this dress costs?!
Police Officer: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you.
Victoria: Eleanor made me do it! Arrest her too! She paid for the liquid!
Police Officer: Ma'am, you're coming with us as well for questioning.
Eleanor: You cannot arrest me! My family owns half of this city’s real estate!
Julian: Not anymore, Eleanor. I’m stripping your access to the family estate tomorrow morning.
Eleanor: You can't do that to your own stepmother!
Julian: Watch me. My lawyers will have the foreclosure notices on your penthouse by noon.
Victoria: Julian, please tell them it was all a joke! Tell them we were just acting!
Julian: Take them both out of my sight right now.
The officers handcuffed Victoria and Eleanor, leading them through the stunned crowd of guests.
The heavy doors of the ballroom slammed shut behind them, leaving a heavy silence in the room.
Julian took a deep breath, wiping a bead of cold sweat from his forehead.
He turned to face Elena, who was standing quietly near the shattered glass on the floor.
Julian: I don't even know how to begin to thank you, Elena.
Elena: You don't have to thank me, Julian. I just wanted justice for my brother.
Julian: You saved my life tonight. I would have taken that drink in front of everyone.
Elena: She was going to frame the catering company and walk away with your money.
Julian: I was so blind... I thought she loved me for who I was.
Elena: Women like Victoria only love what you can provide for them.
Julian: You risked your job and your safety to stand up in front of all these people.
Elena: It was the right thing to do. My brother deserved the truth to come out.
Julian: Please, let me hire you proper legal representation to make sure your brother’s case is reopened.
Elena: The police in Chicago already have the new evidence I collected on her fake identity.
Julian: Then let me help you rebuild what she stole from your family estate.
Elena: I don't want your money, Julian. I just wanted her behind bars.
Julian: I insist. You're the only honest person who stepped into this room tonight.
