Two Dallas police officers entered through the tall white front entrance doors.
Officer Ramirez looked at the scattered pearl necklace on the floor.
Officer Ramirez: We received a panic call about an incident at this residence.
Mark: My stepmother tried to push my sister off the second floor balcony.
Margarethe: That is an absolute lie made up by my greedy stepchildren!
Clara: I have high definition video recording of the entire moment, Officer.
Officer Ramirez turned his head to look at Margarethe's pale face.
Officer Ramirez: Ma'am, please stay standing near that hall wall for now.
Margarethe: This is my private house and I demand you leave immediately!
Mark: The title deed belongs entirely to Clara under our father's will.
The second officer stepped toward Margarethe to prevent her from running away.
Clara walked over to her father's mahogany desk in the corner library.
She unlocked the small steel box hidden beneath the leather drawer tray.
Clara: Here is the signed amendment to my father's living trust document.
Margarethe: That document is completely fake and forged by your lawyer!
Mark: Our father's legal signature was notarized at the downtown court house.
Officer Ramirez took the legal papers and read through the front page.
Officer Ramirez: This document clearly states Clara is the sole executor today.
Margarethe clenched her trembling hands into tight anger filled fists.
Margarethe: He promised me half of the Texas land holdings last year!
Clara: He revoked that promise when he caught you stealing funds earlier.
Margarethe: You turned him against me during his final lingering months!
Mark: Your own selfish choices brought you to this exact moment, Margarethe.
Officer Ramirez gestured to his partner to check the hallway security video.
Mark opened his tablet computer and played the recorded balcony footage clip.
The video clearly showed Margarethe shoving Clara with both hands forward.
Officer Ramirez: That video visual evidence is completely clear and undisputed, ma'am.
Margarethe: You do not understand how much I gave up for this family!
Clara: You only cared about father's money and this luxury mansion home.
Margarethe: I deserved every single dollar in that corporate trust fund account!
Officer Ramirez pulled out a set of shiny steel hand restraints slowly.
Officer Ramirez: Margarethe Vance, you are under arrest for attempted felony assault.
Margarethe: Unhand me right now! I am a prominent Texas high society member!
Mark: Your status will not save you from facing real justice today.
The officer placed the heavy steel restraints around Margarethe's fair wrists.
Margarethe glared at Clara with pure unfiltered hatred in her eyes.
Margarethe: You will regret taking everything away from me, Clara!
Clara: You took everything from yourself the moment you chose violence.
The officers guided Margarethe slowly out through the wide front doors.
