Julian cleared his throat loudly to get everyone's undivided attention in the room.
He looked down at Richard with a fake sad look on his face.
Julian: My brother's health has sadly declined past the point of recovery.
Victoria: He can no longer speak or make sound financial decisions for us.
The board members murmured softly among themselves with looks of deep concern.
They had known Richard for decades as a strong and sharp business leader.
Board Member: Is this truly what Richard wants for the company's future?
Julian: His doctor has confirmed that he needs rest and full care.
Julian placed the heavy legal contract directly onto the table before Richard.
He forced a dark pen into Richard's unresisting right hand with force.
Julian: Just sign your name on the bottom line, brother, and rest.
Maya stood right behind the wheelchair with her chest tight with tension.
She saw Richard's fingers tighten around the gold frame of the pen.
She knew the big moment was finally arriving right here and right now.
Maya: Excuse me, gentlemen, but these papers are completely fraudulent.
Julian turned around quickly with a furious and dark expression on his face.
Julian: Keep your quiet mouth shut, maid, or you are fired instantly!
Victoria: How dare a humble servant speak during a private board meeting!
Maya: I speak because I have proof of what you have been doing.
Maya pulled out a small remote control from her white apron pocket.
She clicked the button and pointed it at the large wall television screen.
The screen flickered on, showing video footage from the private kitchen area.
The clear video showed Julian dropping toxic medicine into Richard's drink daily.
The board members gasped loudly in complete shock and pure outrage together.
Board Member: What in the world is the meaning of this footage, Julian?
Julian: This video is completely fake and staged by this lying maid!
Julian grabbed Maya's arm roughly to throw her out of the room.
