Liam: Did you hear that, Victoria? High-definition video.
Victoria: That footage is inadmissible in a Texas court! It was recorded without my consent!
Arthur: Under Texas law, security monitoring inside a corporate-owned office building is entirely legal, provided notice is posted on the premises. And if you check the small bronze plaque near the front entrance, notice is clearly displayed.
Maya: You made me wash dishes for two days... while you knew you were going to prison.
Victoria: Shut up, you little parasite! You don't speak to me!
Liam: Don't you dare yell at my wife again!
Siren lights flashed brightly through the sheer kitchen curtains as two Dallas Police cruisers pulled into the circular driveway outside[cite: 1].
Arthur: That will be District Attorney Miller and the officers I requested. They are executing a search warrant for all legal documents created on these premises over the last seven days.
Victoria: Gerald! Call Gerald right now! He'll fix this!
Arthur: Your brother Gerald was taken into custody at Texas Commerce Bank twenty minutes ago, Victoria. He was caught attempting to transfer eight million dollars from the pension fund into an offshore account in the Cayman Islands.
Victoria's knees buckled slightly, her face turning pale as two uniformed police officers walked into the white kitchen, led by a sharp-looking female detective.
Detective Ross: Victoria Sterling? I am Detective Ross with the Dallas Financial Crimes Unit. You are under arrest for corporate forgery, grand larceny, and conspiracy to commit fraud.
Victoria: This is a massive misunderstanding! My stepson is orchestrating a coup to take control of my late husband's business!
Detective Ross: Save your statement for the judge, ma'am. Hands behind your back.
The officer stepped forward, clicking heavy steel handcuffs around Victoria's wrists right in front of the pink party balloons hovering in the background dining area[cite: 1].
Victoria: Liam! Tell them to stop! You can't let them do this to your father's wife!
Liam: My father would have put those handcuffs on you himself if he were still alive today.
