Margaret stared at the legal papers on the desk in total shock.
Her hands began to shake as she stepped toward the lawyer's chair.
Margaret: You hid this document from me for ten whole years!
Mr. Vance: Your husband knew you would try to sell the estate off.
Emily: That is why she wanted me out of the picture so badly.
Ethan: She knew if I got married, the trust would be handed over.
Margaret: I built this life! I maintained this mansion for years!
Ethan: You used this house to control everyone around you for decades.
Ethan stepped between his mother and his wife to protect Emily.
He looked at Margaret with a calm but firm expression in his eyes.
Ethan: You threatened my wife on the landing just twenty minutes ago.
Margaret: I was only trying to protect our family's proud name!
Ethan: You were protecting your own greed and your control over me.
Emily: You tried to make me lie to the man I love most.
Margaret: You are an outsider who does not belong in this family!
Ethan: Emily is my family now, Margaret. You are the one leaving.
Margaret gasped loudly and clutched her pearl necklace with her right hand.
She could not believe her own son was speaking to her this way.
Margaret: You cannot throw your own mother out of her home!
Ethan: This is my home now, according to my father's legal will.
Mr. Vance: The transfer papers are ready for your signature, Ethan.
Ethan took the silver pen from the desk and signed his full name.
He slid the paper back to Mr. Vance without looking at his mother.
Ethan: You have thirty days to pack your things and find an apartment.
Margaret: Ethan, please, you cannot mean what you are saying!
Ethan: I mean every single word I have said in this room today.
