Julian: Freeze my assets? Are you out of your mind? You don't have the authority to touch my corporate accounts!
Veronica: She's delusional, Julian. The spill must have made her hit her head harder than we thought.
Evelyn: I don't need to hit my head to know who actually owns your company's credit lines, Julian.
From the edge of the grand hallway, an older gentleman in a dark grey suit pushed through the crowd of whispering guests. He held a high-end smartphone pressed firmly against his ear, his expression cold and professional as he walked toward the flag display.
Arthur: Yes, ma'am. The order is executed. All primary and secondary accounts are officially locked.
Julian: Arthur? What are you doing talking on the phone during my reception entry?
Arthur: I don't work for you, Julian. I work for the Sterling Financial Trust, the primary lienholder of Vance Logistics.
Julian: You're my chief financial advisor! I hired you two years ago to oversee the merger!
Arthur: You hired me with funds provided by Miss Evelyn Sterling's private inheritance fund. My loyalty has always been to the Sterling estate.
Veronica: Wait... Sterling? As in Sterling Global Shipping?
Arthur: Yes, ma'am. The company that owns eighty percent of your father's commercial port leases in Miami.
Julian's jaw dropped in complete terror and shock as the realization hit him like a physical blow. The color drained from his cheeks as his phone inside his tuxedo jacket began buzzing frantically with back-to-back notification alerts.
Julian: What is this? My banking app just revoked my executive authorization clearance!
Arthur: Yes ma'am, it's done.
Julian: Arthur! Reverse this right now! This is my wedding night! You can't lock my corporate accounts on my wedding night!
Arthur: Miss Evelyn signed a conditional equity clause in the prenuptial framework yesterday morning. In the event of gross physical misconduct or public dishonor, the Sterling Trust holds full power to revoke all credit facilities immediately.
Evelyn: Did you really think I came into this marriage blind, Julian? Did you think my father would hand you fifty million dollars without a safety net?
Veronica: Julian... what is she talking about? You told me you owned the Vance mansion and the logistics firm outright!
Evelyn: He doesn't own the marble floor he's standing on, Veronica.
