Victoria took a quick step back toward the grand white front porch.
Her cold calm composure was beginning to crack around the edges now.
Victoria: I protected this family business from total bankruptcy and ruin!
Judge Arthur: You committed fraud and stole what belonged to her father!
Officer Miller: Everyone needs to keep their voices down right now, please.
Neighbors were beginning to gather near the tall iron front gates outside.
The news of a police scene at the judge's home spread fast.
Clara: I never wanted your family mansion or your high social status.
Clara: I only wanted my family's fair share of the original company trust.
Victoria: You will not get a single penny from my private bank accounts!
Judge Arthur: As a sitting judge, I will make sure justice is served.
Arthur took out his phone and dialed his senior staff court clerk.
Judge Arthur: Issue an emergency hold on the Vance family estate accounts immediately.
Victoria gasped loudly and reached for her son's arm in total shock.
Victoria: You cannot freeze your own mother's personal bank accounts, Arthur!
Judge Arthur: I am bound by oath to uphold the law without favor.
Officer Miller opened his notepad and began writing down all the statements.
Officer Miller: Ma'am, I need you to step over here for questioning.
Victoria looked around at the growing crowd near the stone driveway path.
Her proud reputation was crumbling in front of the entire Texas community.
Victoria: This is a massive mistake that will ruin our good name!
Clara: The only mistake was hiding the truth for so many years.
