Victoria: Brandon... baby... please, let's talk about this rationally in the study.
Brandon: Don't call me baby! You showed your true colors today, Victoria!
Victoria: I was just stressed! My mother is in the hospital, and the catering staff was late for your meeting! I lost my temper for one second!
Brandon: You didn't lose your temper! You stood over two young girls, laughed at their pain, and called them useless rats!
Maya: She told us that if we said a word to you, she would tell the police we stole her diamond necklace!
Brandon: She said what?!
Chloe: Yes! She told us she placed her diamond pendant in our bedroom drawer this morning so she could have us arrested whenever she wanted!
Brandon turned back toward Victoria, his jaw locked in intense anger as he pulled his smartphone from his inner suit jacket pocket.
Brandon: You tried to frame two nineteen-year-old orphan girls for grand larceny?
Victoria: They were disrespecting my authority! They needed to know their place in this household!
Brandon: Their place in this household is as protected members of my staff! Your place in this household is officially over!
Victoria: You can't throw me out! The prenup says I get two years of residence in the primary property following any marital dispute!
Brandon: Read Clause 18 of our prenuptial agreement again, Victoria! Any physical violence, criminal misconduct, or felony assault committed on estate grounds immediately voids all residential rights, spousal support, and settlement payouts!
Victoria: That clause only applies to major crimes!
Brandon: Slapping two employees hard enough to leave deep contusions is felony assault! And framing them with planted jewelry is criminal extortion!
Maya: Mr. Sterling... she really did put something in our drawer this morning! I saw her coming out of our quarters near the garage!
Brandon: We're going to check that right now. Chloe, hit the emergency button on the kitchen wall panel. Call 911 immediately!
