Within thirty minutes, Evelyn had packed two large leather suitcases full of designer clothes.
She walked down the curved staircase, her high heels clicking loudly against the marble.
Richard waited at the bottom of the stairs with his arms folded across his chest.
Evelyn: I will be back with my legal team tomorrow morning, Richard.
Richard: You won't be setting foot on this property ever again, Evelyn.
Evelyn: My name is on the mortgage application for this estate!
Richard: My primary business corporation owns this entire deed, not you.
Evelyn's eyes flashed with anger as she set her heavy luggage down.
Evelyn: You used me to play happy family while you worked long hours!
Richard: I trusted you with my heart and my innocent young child.
Evelyn: She is a spoiled brat who reminded me of your ex-wife!
Richard took a slow step forward, his voice low and dangerous.
Richard: Do not speak another word about my late wife or my daughter.
Evelyn: Or what? You'll push me down the stairs this time?
Richard: No, I will let the legal system handle your criminal actions.
Evelyn laughed bitterly, pulling a pair of dark sunglasses over her eyes.
Evelyn: You think you are so smart and powerful in this town.
Richard: I have enough resources to ensure you get nothing from my estate.
Evelyn: I took half of my ex-husband's fortune, and I'll take yours too!
Richard reached into his pocket and pulled out his recording device.
Richard: Thank you for stating your clear financial motives on record.
Evelyn's jaw dropped in absolute shock as she stared at the device.
Evelyn: You were recording our conversation this whole time?!
Richard: Every single word you just spoke was captured clearly.
Evelyn lunged forward to snatch the small device from Richard's hand.
Richard easily stepped aside, letting her stumble forward onto the rug.
Richard: Your car is waiting outside, and the gate guard is watching.
Evelyn gathered her designer bags with shaking hands and rushed toward the door.
Evelyn: You haven't seen the last of me, Richard Vance!
She slammed the front door shut with a loud, echoey bang.
