Veronica: That video is a fake! She modified that footage using an app on her phone!
Maria: I didn't modify anything, Miss Veronica! I recorded you from behind the pantry door while you were holding the bottle!
Arthur: Veronica... tell me the truth right now. What did you put inside my champagne?
Veronica: Arthur, darling, look at me! I am about to become your wife! Why would I ever hurt the man who gives me everything?
Maria: Because she checked your life insurance policy on the hall computer this morning, Mr. Vance!
Arthur dropped his champagne glass onto the white marble floor, the glass shattering into a hundred pieces as the golden liquid pooled around his leather shoes. He stood up slowly from the mahogany table, his face pale and his breathing heavy as he looked at the woman he was supposed to marry in three days.
Arthur: You checked my life insurance policy? The thirty-million-dollar policy tied to the Vance real estate trust fund?
Veronica: She is making things up, Arthur! She's a bitter maid who wants to ruin my reputation because I caught her stealing silverware last week!
Maria: I have never stolen anything in my six years working in this mansion, Miss Veronica! But I know what poison looks like!
Veronica: You insolent little rodent! Shut your mouth!
Veronica made a wild lunge toward Maria, her manicured fingers aiming for the phone, but Arthur stepped firmly between them, grabbing Veronica by her wrist with a iron grip that made her gasp in pain.
Arthur: Touch her again and you won't leave this estate in a sports car, Veronica. You'll leave in a police cruiser!
Veronica: Arthur, let go of my arm! You're hurting me! Are you really going to believe a maid over your fiancee?!
Arthur: I am believing my own eyes! The framed US flag on the back wall of the pantry is visible right behind your head in this video!
Maria: And look at her left hand on the video, Mr. Vance! She is wearing the exact same gold diamond ring you gave her yesterday!
The dinner guests pulled out their phones, taking photos and recording videos of the escalating argument as Veronica pulled her wrist free, her bronze silk dress rustling against the marble floor as she backed away toward the dining room doorway.
Guest 1: Is that true? Did she really try to poison Arthur Vance at his own engagement dinner?
Guest 2: Look at her face... she looks guilty as sin!
Veronica: Fine! You want the truth, Arthur?! You want to know why I checked your policy?!
Arthur: Tell me, Veronica! Speak before I call the state police department!
Veronica: Because your son Julian told me to do it! He's the one who gave me the vial!
