Eleanor: You can't just call off the wedding in front of all our friends! Do you have any idea what this will do to our reputation[cite: 1]?!
Clara: Your reputation was destroyed the moment you put your hands on me, Eleanor[cite: 1].
Eleanor: I am your elder! You will address me with respect[cite: 1]!
Executive: Mrs. Sterling, I suggest you lower your voice[cite: 1]. I am David Ross, Chief Legal Counsel for the Vance Family Office[cite: 1]. And I am here to execute a federal seizure warrant[cite: 1].
Mark: A seizure warrant?! For what[cite: 1]?!
David: For the six hundred thousand dollars your mother embezzled from the Vance Children's Charity Foundation last month[cite: 1].
The entire ballroom went completely quiet[cite: 1]. Eleanor’s face turned bright red, then drained of all color until she looked like a ghost[cite: 1]. She stumbled backward against the altar table, clutching her string of pearls[cite: 1].
Eleanor: That's... that's a mistake! I am the treasurer of that charity committee[cite: 1]!
David: You were the treasurer until our auditors discovered you transferred charity funds into your son's corporate trading account to cover his failed stock shorts[cite: 1].
Mark: Mother...? What is he talking about?! You told me that money was from our family savings[cite: 1]!
Eleanor: Shut up, Mark! Don't say another word[cite: 1]!
Clara: She lied to you, Mark[cite: 1]. Just like you lied to me when you said you loved me[cite: 1]. You used my work, my time, and my father's charity money to keep your fake luxury lifestyle afloat[cite: 1].
Mark: Clara, I swear I didn't know where she got that money! I thought our business was doing well[cite: 1]!
Clara: You didn't care where it came from as long as you could buy expensive suits and pretend to be a high-society elite[cite: 1].
Eleanor: You sneaky little brat! You planned this whole setup, didn't you[cite: 1]?! You knew about the audit before you walked down the aisle[cite: 1]!
Clara: I gave you every chance to show me a shred of decency, Eleanor[cite: 1]. If you had welcomed me today, I would have quietly covered your debts out of my own pocket to protect Mark[cite: 1]. But you chose cruelty instead[cite: 1].
Eleanor: You... you were going to pay our debts[cite: 1]?
Clara: I was[cite: 1]. But then you tore my dress and told me I was too cheap for this family[cite: 1]. So now, you can face the consequences of your own crime[cite: 1].
David raised his hand, signaling toward the grand entrance[cite: 1]. Two uniformed police officers walked into the chapel, their handcuffs gleaming under the chandelier light[cite: 1].
Officer: Eleanor Sterling? You are under arrest for grand larceny and wire fraud[cite: 1].
Eleanor: Keep your hands off me! Mark, do something! Call our lawyers[cite: 1]!
Mark: With what money, Mother?! We don't have any money left[cite: 1]!
