Chad: You... you shorted our stock?!
Alexander: By market close today, Sterling Enterprises will cease to exist. Every asset, every mansion, and every vehicle registered to your name will be seized by federal marshals.
Chad: Mr. Vance, please! My father will die if he loses the company!
Alexander: He should have raised a son, not a savage animal.
Chad began to weep openly, his tears soaking into the red carpet as the reality of his total ruin set in[cite: 1]. The double doors opened once more, and Chad's father, Marcus Sterling, ran into the room, his tie undone and his face drenched in sweat[cite: 1].
Marcus: Chad! What did you do?! What did you do to Mr. Vance's daughter?!
Chad: Dad... help me! They're taking everything!
Marcus: You fool! You arrogant, stupid fool! Mr. Vance just froze all our corporate bank accounts!
Marcus dropped to his knees right beside his cuffed son, slapping Chad hard across the face[cite: 1].
Marcus: I told you to treat everyone with respect! I told you our company was hanging by a thread! And you beat the daughter of the man holding the thread?!
Chad: She didn't tell me who she was! She wore a simple dress!
Clara: A woman's value isn't measured by her dress, Chad. But you're about to learn what it feels like to have nothing at all.
Alexander: Officers, take this trash out of my sight. Let the Dallas press take as many photos as they want when you load him into the squad car.
SWAT Officer: Yes, Mr. Vance! Move it, kid!
The officers dragged Chad to his feet, pulling him toward the grand entrance as he screamed and begged for mercy[cite: 1]. Marcus covered his face with both hands, sobbing as his life's work vanished in a matter of minutes[cite: 1].
Chloe: Mr. Vance, please! I was just a guest! I didn't touch her!
Clara: You sat on that sofa and laughed while he struck me, Chloe[cite: 1]. You enjoyed every second of it[cite: 1].
Alexander: Who is her family, Clara?
Clara: Her father owns the main distribution franchise for Dallas retail stores.
Alexander: Not anymore. Consider her father's contracts terminated by nightfall.
Chloe screamed in horror, dropping to the floor and begging for forgiveness as the security team escorted her out of the estate[cite: 1].
