Chloe: Get your hands off me, Richard! You have no right to touch me like that!
Richard: I have every right to remove a criminal from my home!
Chloe: I am your legal fiancée! We signed a cohabitation agreement four months ago!
Richard: That agreement was based on fraud, dishonesty, and grand larceny!
Chloe: You think a judge is going to believe a stolen flash drive over my family’s legal reputation in this city?!
Richard: The flash drive isn't the only thing I have, Chloe.
Chloe: What are you talking about?!
Richard: Look up at the ceiling corner above the bookshelf.
Chloe turned her head sharply, her gaze landing on a tiny, blinking red light hidden inside the polished brass air vent near the ceiling.
Richard: Every single room in this mansion is wired with high-definition 4K security cameras connected directly to my personal cloud server.
Chloe: You... you were recording me inside the study?!
Richard: I was recording every room after Sarah noticed small discrepancies in the household budget two months ago.
Sarah: I told you I wasn't lying, Miss Vance. I saw you copying files from Mr. Sterling’s desk computer late at night.
Chloe: You miserable little snitch! You ruined my life!
Chloe lunged out of the chair toward Sarah, her long manicured nails aiming for the maid’s face. But Richard stepped in front of her instantly, catching her wrists in a iron grip and shoving her backward once more.
Richard: Don't you dare touch her! If you lay one finger on Sarah or my son, I will make sure you spend the rest of your life in a maximum-security prison!
Chloe: You can't do this to me, Richard! My father owns fifteen percent of your company's shares!
Richard: Your father lost those shares in a private buyout three weeks ago! He’s just as bankrupt as you are!
Chloe: What... what did you say?!
Richard: I knew your family was facing massive debt in Europe. I bought out his corporate shares to see how far you would go to get your hands on my estate!
Chloe: You set me up!
Richard: You set yourself up the moment you brought a flame near a helpless infant!
Baby: Daddy... hold me...
Richard: Come here, Leo. Daddy’s right here, sweetheart.
Richard took his son back into his arms, kissing the boy's cheek gently as the toddler rested his small head against his shoulder.
Richard: Sarah, call the police department. Ask for Chief Reynolds directly on my private line.
Sarah: Right away, Mr. Sterling.
Chloe: Richard, please! Don't call Chief Reynolds! We can settle this privately between our attorneys!
Richard: There is nothing left to settle. You tried to burn my child, steal my late wife’s legacy, and frame an innocent worker.
Chloe: I was desperate, Richard! The creditors were threatening my family’s house in Aspen!
Richard: Your financial desperate measures end today in handcuffs.
The distant sound of police sirens began to echo up the winding driveway toward the estate's front gates.
