Victoria: No! Don't call the police! Brandon, please! If I get arrested, my reputation in this city will be completely destroyed!
Brandon: You should have thought about your reputation before you raised your hands against innocent teenagers!
Victoria: I'll apologize to them! I'll pay them ten thousand dollars each right now out of my private account!
Maya: We don't want your money! We just want you away from us!
Chloe: Mr. Sterling, the dispatcher is on the phone line! They are sending two patrol cars to the front gate right now!
Brandon: Tell them we have video evidence of a domestic assault and attempted extortion inside the residence!
Victoria scrambled up from the floor, her eyes darting toward the back entrance of the house. She grabbed her designer leather purse off the island counter and tried to push past Brandon toward the patio doors.
Victoria: Get out of my way! I am leaving!
Brandon: You aren't going anywhere until the sheriff's deputies arrive, Victoria!
Victoria: You can't hold me hostage in this kitchen!
Brandon grabbed the handle of the sliding glass door and locked it tight, standing directly in front of the exit with his arms crossed over his chest.
Victoria: Let me out! I will scream for the neighbors!
Brandon: Go ahead! Let the entire neighborhood see you standing in your red dress while two police cruisers pull up to the driveway!
Maya: Mr. Sterling, her purse... she's trying to hide something in her pocket!
Brandon stepped forward and snatched the leather purse right out of Victoria's hands, tipping it upside down onto the island counter. A velvet jewelry box fell out, tumbling open to reveal a heavy platinum diamond necklace, alongside a small bag containing missing petty cash from the safe.
Brandon: Look at that. The exact diamond pendant you claimed was missing three weeks ago.
Victoria: I found it in the guest house this morning!
Brandon: You didn't find it in the guest house! You kept it hidden so you could plant it in Maya and Chloe's room when you wanted them fired!
