Chloe: Put that phone away right now! Who told you that you could make personal calls during work hours?
Margaret: I make calls whenever I need to, Chloe.
Chloe: You will address me as Miss Vance! You are a low-class servant in my house!
Margaret: This is not your house yet, my dear.
Chloe: It will be by next month! My father is funding Daniel's new corporate merger, and I am taking full control of this estate!
Margaret reached into her wet pocket for a cloth, gently dabbing the cold water from her neck.
Margaret: Money does not give you the right to put your hands on people, Chloe.
Chloe: In my world, money gives me the right to do whatever I want! Look at you! You're dripping dirty water all over my white marble floor!
Margaret: You were the one who threw the bucket, Chloe.
Chloe: Because you refused to bow your head when I walked into the foyer!
Chloe took a step closer, her red halter gown trailing on the wet tile. She glared down at Margaret with total contempt.
Chloe: When Daniel comes down those stairs, I am going to make sure he fires you on the spot without a single cent of severance!
Margaret: Is that what you think Daniel will do?
Chloe: Daniel loves me! He gives me whatever I ask for! If I tell him you attacked me, he will have you arrested before lunch!
Margaret: You seem very confident in his feelings.
Chloe: I am a Vance! My family owns three country clubs and two private jets! Why wouldn't he love me?
Margaret: True character is not measured by country clubs, Chloe.
Chloe: Shut your mouth! I don't need lectures from a woman who scrubs toilets for a living!
Margaret stood her ground near the bottom of the staircase, her posture remarkably straight despite her wet clothes. She looked up toward the second-floor balcony as the heavy footsteps grew louder and faster.
Chloe: You hear those steps? That's my fiancé coming down to kick you out!
Margaret: We will see who leaves this house today, Chloe.
Chloe: You arrogant old hag! I should slap you again just for looking at me like that!
Chloe raised her hand into the air, preparing to strike Margaret a second time. But the sudden sound of a door slamming open at the top of the stairs made her pause in mid-air.
Daniel: What is going on down there?!
Chloe immediately dropped her hand, her face changing in an instant as she prepared her act.
