Julianne: You think you can intimidate me, Christopher?! I have the best divorce lawyers in New York on speed dial!
Christopher: Call them. Go ahead, pick up your phone and call every single one of them right now.
Julianne: I will! And I'll make sure the press hears about how the great CEO Christopher Vance treats his wife!
Christopher: The press is going to be far more interested in the security footage from this hallway.
Julianne froze, her hand pausing right over her designer handbag as her eyes darted up toward the crown molding[cite: 1].
Julianne: What footage? You said the cameras in the private quarters were disconnected during the renovation!
Christopher: I said the public feeds were offline. The high-definition security system streams twenty-four hours a day directly to my private server.
Julianne: You... you lied to me?
Christopher: I installed them three weeks ago when Elena first told me she noticed unusual bruises on Leo's arms.
Elena: I tried to warn you, Julianne. I told you Mr. Vance wouldn't tolerate anyone hurting his son.
Julianne: You traitorous little rat! You set me up!
Christopher: She didn't set you up! You chose to abuse an innocent baby because you thought nobody was watching!
Julianne’s face turned bright red, her rose-pink gown rustling as she pushed off the wall and tried to step toward Christopher[cite: 1].
Julianne: Christopher, listen to me. I was stressed! Managing this giant mansion and dealing with your late wife's child is too much pressure for me!
Christopher: Do not speak about my late wife! Elizabeth loved this boy with her entire soul before she passed away!
Julianne: Well, she isn't here anymore, is she?! I'm the woman in your bed now!
Christopher: Not anymore you're not.
Christopher pulled a sleek black tablet from his inner suit jacket, tapping the screen a few times before holding it up to her face[cite: 1].
Christopher: Take a good look at this video, Julianne. Look at yourself dragging a baby on a leash while striking my employee.
Julianne: Delete that... delete it right now!
Christopher: This video is already saved on three off-site servers. And more importantly, it triggers Clause Fourteen of our prenuptial agreement.
Julianne: Clause Fourteen?
Christopher: The cruelty and criminal conduct clause. The moment you commit a felony against my family, the prenup is entirely voided, and you forfeit every right to alimony, settlement money, or marital property.
Julianne: No... no, that's impossible! My father reviewed that contract!
Christopher: Your father missed the fine print. You walk out of these doors with the clothes on your back and nothing else.
Julianne backed away, her hands trembling as she looked at the marble floor, realizing her luxurious lifestyle had just crumbled to dust[cite: 1].
Julianne: You can't do this to me, Christopher... I have nowhere to go!
Christopher: You can go explain your actions to the police officers waiting at the front gate.
