Evelyn: This is ridiculous! I am the widow! I control the estate!
Mr. Sterling: Evelyn, your late husband was fully aware of the massive gambling debts Julian accrued last year, as well as the offshore accounts you tried to drain.
Julian: That has nothing to do with this! He left the mansion to me!
Mr. Sterling: No, he did not. Under the terms of the updated living trust, the Vance family mansion, the corporate shares, and the main trust fund were all transferred directly into a private master trust.
Evelyn: And who controls that master trust?! Me!
Mr. Sterling: No, Evelyn. The sole trustee and primary beneficiary named by your late husband is Maya.
A collective gasp echoed through the dining hall[cite: 1]. Evelyn’s face went completely pale, her smug smile vanishing into thin air[cite: 1]. Julian stood up so fast his chair knocked over onto the hard wood floor.
Julian: What?! That's impossible! She’s just my wife! She didn't bring a single penny into this marriage!
Maya: Your father knew you would ruin this family, Julian. He knew you were weak, lazy, and cruel.
Evelyn: You tricked him! You manipulated an old, sick man!
Maya: I didn't manipulate anyone. I was the only person who sat by his bedside in the hospital for three months while you were in Europe shopping and Julian was at the casino.
Julian: You lied to us! You sat here every day acting like you were poor, letting us pay for everything!
Maya: I wanted to see who you really were, Julian. I wanted to see if you loved me for me, or if you were just as rotten as your mother. Tonight, you proved it.
Evelyn: Sterling, this will is fake! I will sue her! I will hire the best divorce lawyers in the state and wipe her out!
Mr. Sterling: You can try, Evelyn, but the documents are fully notarized, video-recorded, and filed with the state supreme court. Maya holds absolute legal ownership of this property and all family accounts.
Julian: Maya... babe, wait. Look, my mom was out of line tonight, okay? I shouldn't have laughed.
Maya: Don't call me babe, Julian.
Julian: I was just caught off guard! You know how my mom is! I love you, Maya. We can fix this, we're married!
Maya: Not for long. The divorce paperwork was drafted yesterday. You get zero spousal support and zero inheritance, exactly as your father specified in his clause.
