Daniel came running down the hallway with his shirt half unbuttoned.
He looked furious when he saw Clara standing near the safe.
Daniel: How did you get inside this house, Clara?
Clara: It does not matter how I got inside.
Clara: I know what your father wrote in his final will.
Daniel: That document is completely invalid and you know it.
Clara: It has three witness signatures and a court notary stamp.
Daniel took a sharp step forward into the library room.
Clara backed up against the large mahogany desk.
Daniel: Hand over that folder right now, Clara.
Clara: No, Daniel, this money belongs to our baby's future.
Evelyn: Grab her arm and take the paper out of her coat!
Sarah: Stop it right now, both of you!
Sarah ran up the stairs holding a small silver camera.
She stood right beside Clara with a fierce look on her face.
Sarah: I am recording everything that happens in this room right now.
Daniel: Put that phone down, Sarah, or you are fired instantly.
Sarah: Fire me if you want, but the police are already on their way.
Evelyn froze when she heard the word police mentioned.
Her face went completely pale under the hallway lights.
Evelyn: You called the police to our private home?
Sarah: I called them ten minutes ago when you locked the gate.
Clara: Thank you, Sarah, you saved my life tonight.
Daniel looked at his mother with pure panic in his eyes.
He knew a police report would destroy his executive job position.
The corporate board would never tolerate a public fraud scandal.
Daniel: Clara, let us talk about this like reasonable adults.
Clara: You turned your back on me when I needed you most.
Daniel: I was stressed about the mortgage payments on the estate.
Clara: That is no excuse for trying to steal from your child.
Evelyn: Do not listen to her, Daniel, she has no proof of fraud.
Clara: The notarized original document is in my hand right now.
Outside the front window, red and blue lights began to flash.
The sound of sirens echoed up the long stone driveway.
Daniel sank down onto the hallway bench in total defeat.
Evelyn tried to snatch the folder one last time from Clara.
Clara stepped back quickly and locked arms with Sarah.
Clara: It is over now, Evelyn.
Evelyn: You will regret this day for the rest of your life.
