Julian: Hannah, help me lift Chloe back into her chair carefully.
Hannah: Yes, sir. Easy now, Mrs. Chloe.
Julian and Hannah gently lifted Chloe from the carpet, settling her back into her padded wheelchair while Chloe squeezed her eyes shut in pain.
Chloe: Thank you, Hannah... thank you...
Julian: Pick up every single sheet of paper on this floor, Hannah. Don't let Evelyn touch a single one.
Evelyn: Julian, you are treating your own father's wife like a common criminal!
Julian: You are acting like a common criminal! Look at my wife's face! Where did these bruises come from, Evelyn?!
Evelyn: She fell out of bed two nights ago! I tried to catch her!
Chloe: She slapped me, Julian... she slapped me because I wouldn't sign the power of attorney over to her!
Julian: You laid your hands on my wife?!
Evelyn: She was being ungrateful! I've spent six months taking care of a crippled woman in this mansion while you traveled the world for your company!
Julian: You didn't take care of her! I paid three private nurses to be here twenty-four hours a day!
Hannah: Mr. Julian... Mrs. Evelyn fired all three private nurses four days ago, as soon as your private jet left Dallas.
Julian: She did what?!
Hannah: She told them you cancelled their contracts to save money. She threatened to fire me too if I told anyone what was happening in this study.
Julian: You isolated my wife in my own home...
Evelyn: I saved this family hundreds of thousands of dollars in unnecessary medical bills!
Julian: We are worth four hundred million dollars, Evelyn! Medical bills are not a concern!
Evelyn: But my monthly allowance is! You cut my fashion budget last month to pay for Chloe's physical therapy equipment!
Julian: Because my wife learning to walk again is more important than your designer dresses!
Evelyn: This mansion belonged to my husband before he died! I shouldn't have to beg his son for pocket money!
Julian: My father left you a five-million-dollar cash settlement and a luxury condo downtown! You chose to stay here because you wanted control over the whole estate!
Hannah stepped forward, handing a stack of gathered papers directly to Julian.
Hannah: Sir, look at page three. There's already a blue ink thumbprint on the bottom line.
Julian looked down at the paper, his jaw tightening so hard a muscle twitched in his cheek.
Julian: This isn't a power of attorney... this is a complete surrender of Chloe's inheritance rights to the Sterling Trust!
