Julian: Chloe... please! We can fix this! We are married! We can share the executive proxy!
Chloe: Share the proxy? Five minutes ago you screamed at me because your breakfast was delayed by ten minutes.
Julian: I was wrong! I apologize! I was under immense pressure from the board of directors!
Chloe: You didn't apologize because you felt remorse, Julian. You apologized because you lost your money.
Julian: I love you, Chloe! You know I love you! We can rebuild this family together!
Chloe: You don't love me, Julian. You loved the idea of having a quiet, obedient wife who would look pretty at charity galas while you stole millions from your own company.
Chloe pulled a secondary document from the blue folder, handing it directly to Officer Vance[cite: 1].
Chloe: Officer Vance, please deliver this file to the federal prosecutor's office downtown.
Julian: Federal prosecutor?! Chloe, stop! If federal agents audit those offshore accounts, I will go to prison for twenty years!
Chloe: That is exactly where you belong for stealing from working families, Julian.
Julian lunged forward, reaching out with both hands to snatch the document from Officer Vance, but the two tall guards instantly stepped into his path, seizing Julian by his arms and pinning his shoulders against the wall[cite: 1].
Julian: Get your hands off me! Do you know who I am?! I am Julian Sterling!
Officer Vance: You are a former executive under active federal investigation, Mr. Sterling. Keep your hands where we can see them.
Distant police sirens began to wail through the long estate driveway outside, their red and blue lights flashing through the tall glass windows of the grand dining room[cite: 1].
Julian: Police?! You called the police to my house?!
Chloe: Detective Miller was notified the moment you flipped that table, Julian. The state court required an immediate physical safety check.
The heavy front doors of the mansion pushed open downstairs, and heavy boots thundered up the grand marble staircase[cite: 1]. Detective Miller stepped into the dining room, flanked by two uniformed officers[cite: 1].
Detective Miller: Mrs. Sterling? We received the automated domestic alarm dispatch. Are you uninjured?
Chloe: I am completely unharmed, Detective. Mr. Sterling simply smashed the property.
Detective Miller looked down at the shattered crystal, broken porcelain, and spilled food covering the marble floor, then turned his stern eyes toward Julian[cite: 1].
Detective Miller: Julian Sterling, you are under arrest for domestic endangerment, evidence destruction, and federal corporate wire fraud.
Julian: Wire fraud?! You don't have a warrant for wire fraud!
Detective Miller: The federal magistrate signed the arrest warrant fifteen minutes ago, Mr. Sterling. Turn around and place your hands behind your back.
