Victoria guided Clara gently toward the back seat of the open luxury SUV.
Victoria: Sit inside and get some air, Clara, while I finish this matter.
Clara: Please be careful, Victoria, she has powerful connections in this city.
Victoria: My dear, I built the banks those connections borrow their money from.
Victoria turned back to face Evelyn with an expression cold enough to freeze glass.
Victoria: You knew who Clara was the moment Mark brought her home, didn't you?
Evelyn: That is an absurd accusation with no basis in actual fact!
Victoria: My investigators found the wire transfers you made to the adoption agency.
Evelyn's face turned completely white as the attorney pulled out financial bank logs.
Attorney: You paid fifty thousand dollars twenty years ago to hide her original files.
Attorney: You wanted to ensure her biological identity was never discovered by anyone.
Evelyn: I did what was necessary to protect my son from lowborn gold diggers!
Victoria: You stole a child from a hospital because you feared my business empire!
The crowd gasped as Victoria laid out the decades-old corporate crime scene clearly.
Victoria: You thought if I found my daughter, my empire would absorb your estate.
Evelyn: It belonged to the Vance family! We built this city's real estate market!
Victoria: You built a house of cards on stolen money and forged court papers.
Federal marshals pulled up to the curb in two dark blue sedans right behind them.
Two officers in dark suits stepped out and walked straight toward Evelyn Vance.
Officer: Evelyn Vance, you are under arrest for fraud, bribery, and child concealment.
Evelyn: Get your hands off me! Do you know who my lawyers are?
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used.
The officers placed handcuffs around Evelyn's wrists before the flashing news cameras.
Evelyn kicked her feet on the pavement, screaming as she was led away slowly.
Evelyn: You will regret this, Victoria! My lawyers will tear you apart in court!
Victoria: Your lawyers were disbarred twenty minutes ago for their role in the fraud.
