Before Chad could scramble back up to his feet, Sarah leaned down close to his face, her eyes flashing with intense determination. The sharp sound of a swift slap echoed through the grand dining hall as her hand made firm contact with his cheek. The strike brought an abrupt end to his blubbering pleas, leaving a bright red mark across his pale skin. Chad gasped in surprise, holding his face as he stared up at her in total shock from his kneeling position on the hardwood floor.
Sarah: That was for my grandmother's memory. You will never set foot in this house ever again.
Chad: You hit me... You cannot treat me like this! I have rights!
Sarah: You have the right to remain silent while the Texas police take you away for intentional property destruction and trespass.
Chad: Police? You called the cops on me over a broken dish?
Sarah turned to her head of estate security, who was already standing right behind Chad with a pair of heavy leather restraints ready in his hands. The security team had already dialed the local authorities the moment Chad had begun threatening Sarah and destroying valuable estate property in front of witnesses. The grand dining hall hummed with a low rumble of tension as the guests backed away, clearing a path for the officers who were already pulling into the long gravel driveway outside the front gates of the mansion.
Sarah: Texas police are on their way! Call 911 right now if you think they are going to take your side!
Chad: Sarah, please... do not let them arrest me! Think about our reputation!
Sarah: My reputation is perfectly fine, Chad. Yours is officially completely over.
Two uniform officers stepped through the high double doors of the dining room, their boots clicking firmly against the floor. The primary lawyer handed the officers a signed statement along with clear video security footage capturing the entire incident from start to finish. The officers promptly pulled Chad up from the floor, securing his wrists behind his back while he cried out in frustration. The guests watched in satisfied silence as the greedy pretender was escorted out of the estate in handcuffs, stripped of his dignity, his freedom, and every single cent he had tried so hard to steal.
