Security Guard: Ma'am, please step away from Mr. Sterling and keep your hands where we can see them.
Cynthia: Get your filthy hands off my white dress! Richard, you can't arrest your own wife over a maid's lies!
Richard: You're not my wife anymore, Cynthia. As of this exact second, our marriage is over, and I am filing for an immediate annulment on the grounds of fraud and assault.
Eleanor: And you will be stripped of all corporate voting rights on the board of directors by sunset today!
Cynthia: You can't strip my voting rights! I own twenty percent of the holding company shares!
Lily: You don't own those shares, Cynthia. You stole them from my mother's private safe twenty years ago!
Cynthia froze, her eyes widening in sheer panic as she looked at Lily with pure hatred.
Cynthia: What... what are you talking about?! You don't know anything about those shares!
Lily: When my mother was forced to leave the company, you made her sign a forged surrender agreement while she was sedated in the hospital hospital wing!
Richard: Is this true, Cynthia?! Did you forge Sarah's signature on the corporate stock transfer papers?!
Cynthia: She's making wild accusations with zero proof, Richard! She's trying to ruin my life!
Lily: I have the original medical records, Mr. Sterling! My mother was in an induced coma on October 12th, 2004—the exact day Cynthia claimed my mother signed over her stock options!
Eleanor: Heavenly father... you committed corporate forgery and fraud to steal an innocent pregnant woman's inheritance!
Cynthia: Richard, please! I loved you! I did everything to make sure our family remained the most powerful empire in the state!
Richard: You didn't do it for love, Cynthia. You did it because you're a greedy, sociopathic criminal who destroyed a mother and her child for money.
The heavy front doors of the estate burst open, and three city police officers walked into the grand hall, led by Detective Miller.
Detective Miller: We received an emergency call regarding an assault and corporate fraud in progress. Who is the head of the house?
Richard: I am, Detective. This woman, Cynthia Sterling, physically assaulted my sister, stole corporate assets, and attempted to destroy legal DNA records.
Detective Miller: Ma'am, you are under arrest for felony assault, battery, and grand corporate fraud. Put your hands behind your back.
Cynthia: No! Stay away from me! Richard! Tell them to stop! You can't do this to me!
The police officers grabbed Cynthia's arms, forcing her wrists behind her back and snapping heavy steel handcuffs around her hands, ruining her pristine white gown.
