Julian: Clara, answer me right now! Are those two little boys my children[cite: 1]?
Clara: You don't have any right to ask me that, Julian[cite: 1]. You lost the right to ask me anything six years ago[cite: 1].
Julian: Look at them! They have my jawline, my hair, my eyes! How could you keep this from me for six whole years?!
Clara: I didn't keep anything from you! I tried to call you fifty times the night your mother threw me out of your family estate!
Veronica: Julian, what is the meaning of this drama?! Who is this pathetic girl in the cheap dress, and why is she claiming these bratty kids belong to you?!
Veronica took a sharp step forward, her high heels clicking aggressively against the floor as she glared down at Clara with pure disgust[cite: 1]. Before she could open her mouth to insult the boys again, Clara stood up from her chair in one swift, fluid motion and landed a sharp, violent slap directly across Veronica's face[cite: 1]. The loud smack echoed across the entire dining room, turning every single guest in the restaurant completely silent[cite: 1].
Veronica: Ah! You crazy bitch! You just hit me!
Clara: Don't you dare come near my children[cite: 1]! If you even point a finger at my sons again, I'll do a lot worse than slap you[cite: 1]!
Veronica: Julian! Do you see what she just did to me?! Call security right now and have this trash arrested!
Julian: Shut up, Veronica! Just shut your mouth for one second!
Veronica: What did you just say to me?! I am your fiancée!
Julian: I don't care who you are right now! Get out of my way!
Julian pushed right past Veronica, completely ignoring her red, swollen cheek as he took three unsteady steps toward the table where Leo and Toby were sitting[cite: 1]. He dropped to his knees right on the floorboards, his expensive suit trousers touching the ground as he stared into the faces of the two boys[cite: 1]. His hands shook violently as he reached out toward them, tears welling up in his eyes[cite: 1].
Julian: They really are my sons... twins... I have twin sons...
Leo: Mommy, why is the suit man crying?
Clara: Get up off the floor, Julian[cite: 1]. Don't touch them[cite: 1]. Don't you dare put your hands on my children[cite: 1].
Julian: Clara, please... talk to me. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant with twins before you left the city?
Clara: Because your mother handed me a check for fifty thousand dollars and told me that if I didn't leave town, she would destroy my father's business and ensure I never got a job in this state again!
Julian: What...? My mother did what...?
Clara: She told me you knew all about it[cite: 1]. She said you paid her to get rid of me because I was just a poor waitress who didn't fit into your high-society billionaire world!
Julian: No... no, that's a lie! Clara, I swear on my life, I never knew anything about a check! I thought you abandoned me for another man!
Clara: You didn't even bother to search for me, Julian! You just moved on with your wealthy life, buying sports cars and getting engaged to women like Veronica!
Veronica: Julian, stop groveling on the floor like an idiot! This girl is lying to you! She probably trapped some other guy and now she's trying to shake you down for your family's trust fund!
Julian: I said be quiet, Veronica! One more word out of you, and our engagement is officially off!
Veronica gasped, clutching her designer purse against her chest as her face turned pale with shock[cite: 1].
Julian: Clara, look at me. Please. I never stopped thinking about you. My mother told me you moved to Europe with a rich guy from college. She showed me fake letters, fake photos... she tricked me!
Clara: It doesn't matter anymore, Julian[cite: 1]. The past is the past[cite: 1]. My boys and I don't need your family, your money, or your lies[cite: 1].
Julian: You don't understand, Clara. I am the CEO of Vance Enterprises now. I have hundreds of millions of dollars, mansions, lawyers, everything. These boys deserve the best life possible, and I am going to give it to them whether you like it or not!
