Evelyn: Where did you get this paper?[cite: 1]
Maya: The bank vault in Chicago[cite: 1]. The one you forgot to check after dad passed away[cite: 1].
Evelyn: This is a fake[cite: 1]. It has no legal standing in this court[cite: 1].
Maya: Read the bottom line out loud, Evelyn[cite: 1]. Read the signature[cite: 1].
Evelyn: Your father was confused during his final weeks[cite: 1]. He did not know what he was signing[cite: 1].
Maya: My father was fully sharp when he set up that trust fund for me[cite: 1]. You drained three million dollars from it[cite: 1].
Evelyn: I used that capital to keep this mortgage paid and the business floating![cite: 1]
Maya: You used it to buy a penthouse, two luxury cars, and a house in Florida[cite: 1].
Evelyn: I earned every single dollar of my status in this city![cite: 1]
Maya: You married my dad when he was sick and rewrote his life insurance policy[cite: 1].
Evelyn: Watch your mouth, Maya[cite: 1]. You are talking to your mother[cite: 1].
Maya: You are not my mother[cite: 1]. My mother built this company from a garage while you were selling fake jewelry[cite: 1].
Evelyn slammed her palm down against the glass desk, rattling the water glasses[cite: 1]. She stood up, leaning forward until she was inches from Maya's face[cite: 1].
Evelyn: You think a piece of paper gives you power over me?[cite: 1]
Maya: No, the divorce lawyer waiting down in the lobby gives me power[cite: 1].
Evelyn: What divorce lawyer?[cite: 1]
Maya: The one who managed my father's first marriage agreement[cite: 1]. The one who kept the original backup files[cite: 1].
Evelyn: He retired ten years ago![cite: 1]
Maya: He came back to work specifically for today[cite: 1].
Evelyn: You are making a huge mistake, girl[cite: 1].
Maya: The mistake was thinking I would stay quiet forever[cite: 1].
Evelyn: I will have you removed from this building by security![cite: 1]
Maya: Try it[cite: 1]. The head of security was hired by my father, not you[cite: 1].
Evelyn: He answers to the board of directors![cite: 1]
Maya: The board is arriving in thirty seconds, and they already received my email packet[cite: 1].
Evelyn's face paled as her hand snatched her phone off the desk[cite: 1]. Her thumb swiped frantically across the screen[cite: 1].
