Nothing Left To Steal

Evelyn: You can't put handcuffs on me! Do you have any idea who my father was?

Federal Agent: Federal Bureau of Investigation, ma'am. You are under arrest for wire fraud, embezzlement, and grand larceny.

Evelyn: Julian! Call our defense lawyer! Call him right now!

Julian: I... I am trying, Mother! The call won't go through! My phone says my service plan has been terminated!

Federal Agent: Step into the vehicle, ma'am. You can make your calls from the station once you are processed.

Julian fell to his knees on the concrete driveway, clutching his bruised chest where Clara's heel had struck him.

Julian: This isn't happening... this can't be happening to us!

Evelyn: Get up, Julian! Don't let these people see you crying like a coward!

Julian: We have nothing left, Mother! She took the trust fund! She took the company! She took the house!

Evelyn: The judge will overturn this! She had no right to execute those override commands!

A sharp sleek car pulled up alongside the police escort, and Clara lowered her tinted passenger window slightly.

Clara: Actually, Evelyn, the board of directors just held an emergency vote in the lobby.

Evelyn: You dirty thief! You stole my life work!

Clara: You didn't build a single thing. My father wrote the algorithms that built this empire while you were busy buying designer handbags in Europe.

Julian: Clara, please! I was wrong! I'll break off all ties with my mother! Just let me stay on as vice president!

Clara: Vice president of what, Julian? You don't even know how to open the server room without a keycard.

Julian: I'll do anything! I'll sign whatever you want! Just don't leave me with nothing!

Clara: You wanted a traditional wife who stayed quiet while your family bled my father's memory dry. How does it feel to lose everything to the girl you pushed around?

Evelyn: You'll pay for this, Clara! My legal team will destroy you in court!

Clara: Your legal team was hired using funds from the corporate account. Since those funds are frozen, they just withdrew their representation two minutes ago.

Evelyn's mouth opened in shock as the reality of her total ruin finally hit her.

Federal Agent: Watch your head, ma'am.

The agent gently guided Evelyn into the back seat of the police car and slammed the door shut.

Julian reached toward Clara's car window, tears running down his face and mixing with the scratches from the broken glass.

Julian: Please, Clara... I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for what I said! Please don't do this to me!

Clara: You told me earlier that I was nothing without your family.

Julian: I was angry! I didn't mean it!

Clara: You meant every word. But now you get to see what your family is without my father's fortune.

She rolled the window up smoothly, ignoring Julian's desperate pounding on the glass.

Clara: Drive, Marcus. We have a board meeting at seven in the morning.
