Chloe: Julian, please! I love you! We've been together for three years! You can't throw away our entire future over a mistake!
Julian: Love? You don't know the meaning of the word. You saw a vulnerable girl and decided to torture her so you could control my family's money.
Chloe: I did it for US! If she got eighty percent of the estate, your share would have dropped to almost nothing! I wanted us to have everything!
Julian: I never cared about the money, Chloe. I cared about my sister. I spent five agonizing years believing she was dead in a French hospital!
Hannah: *Tears streaming down her face* Every time I asked for my prescription medication, Chloe told me I was crazy... she told me I was an orphan who belonged in the gutter...
Julian: Shh, Hannah. It's over. She's never going to hurt you or touch a single hair on your head again.
The sound of heavy boots echoed down the long hallway leading into the ballroom as four uniformed Dallas police officers and two plainclothes federal agents walked briskly into the grand room.
Officer Miller: District Attorney Vance? We have the arrest warrants signed by the federal magistrate.
DA Vance: Take Miss Montgomery into custody immediately. Charges are felony human trafficking, kidnapping, conspiracy to commit estate fraud, and aggravated physical abuse.
Chloe: Get your hands off me! Don't you dare touch my gown!
Officer Miller grabbed Chloe's arms, pulling them firmly behind her back despite her wild kicking and screaming. The metallic click of handcuffs echoed sharply through the quiet ballroom.
Chloe: AHH! You're breaking my wrists! Julian, tell them to stop! Call my attorney right now!
Julian: My legal team has already filed a civil injunction freezing every single bank account tied to the Montgomery trust fund. Your attorney won't even accept your phone call once he realizes your credit cards are declined.
Chloe: You ruined my life! You planned this whole thing to embarrass me!
Julian: You ruined your own life the second you poured hot punch over my sister's head last night and forced her to sleep in the cold servant quarters.
Hannah: *Looking up from Julian's shoulder* Good luck cleaning the floors in prison, Chloe. I hear they don't give you custom silk dresses there.
The crowd of guests erupted into loud murmurs and occasional applause as the officers dragged Chloe kicking and screaming toward the double doors of the estate.
Chloe: *Voice fading down the hall* You'll pay for this, Julian! My father will destroy your company! I'll kill you both!
Officer Miller: Watch your head, ma'am. Get in the back of the cruiser.
The heavy mahogany doors closed behind them, finally cutting off Chloe's hysterical shrieks and leaving the grand ballroom in a calm, peaceful quiet.
