Attorney: Mr. Sterling, the emergency injunction has been successfully filed with the superior court.
Ethan sat across the mahogany table in his private home office, the morning light casting long shadows across the room where he held his sleeping daughter.
Ethan: What does this mean for the trust fund and the corporate assets?
Attorney: Because of the attempted homicide charge and clear breach of fiduciary trust, Eleanor's voting shares are frozen indefinitely.
Ethan: Can she access any offshore accounts or liquidate the real estate portfolio?
Attorney: Absolutely not. The judge slapped a total freeze on all marital assets pending the criminal trial and custody settlement.
Ethan: Good. She will never be able to use money as a weapon against my child ever again.
Attorney: It's rare to see a corporate takeover happen in reverse, but the evidence you secured changed everything.
Ethan: It wasn't a corporate takeover, counselor. It was a father protecting his flesh and blood.
Attorney: Well, your custody claim is ironclad now. No family court in America will award rights to someone who dropped an infant from a balcony.
Ethan: How long before the formal settlement hearing?
Attorney: Less than a week. The prosecutor wants an expedited trial to avoid any tampering with witnesses.
Ethan: Let's make sure our documentation is bulletproof. Every mortgage, every will, every bank statement.
Attorney: Already taken care of. By Friday, Eleanor's financial empire will be entirely under your administrative control.
Ethan: Perfect. Let her see what it feels like to lose everything she built on lies.
