Within thirty minutes three police cars arrived at the front entrance of the corporate building.
Detective Miller walked up the marble stairs holding a thick black notebook in his hand.
Detective Miller: Mr. Davis, your attorney contacted our office on his way over here.
David: Thank you for coming so fast, Detective.
Detective Miller: Where are the documents you mentioned on the emergency call?
David handed the open leather briefcase directly into the officer's gloved hands for evidence.
The detective flipped through the pages with a serious expression on his weathered face.
Detective Miller: These signatures look completely identical on every single page.
David: They were copied using an automated signature stamp from my old desk drawer.
Eleanor: He authorized me to use that stamp for all routine business transactions!
David: A multi-million dollar property transfer is not a routine business transaction, Eleanor.
Marcus walked into the hallway carrying a heavy yellow folder filled with original legal deeds.
Marcus: Detective, I hold the original master trust agreement created by David's father.
Marcus opened the folder and placed the stamped original papers on the reception counter.
Marcus: Clause nine clearly states that no asset can be transferred without dual physical signatures.
Marcus: An automated stamp renders any attempt at transfer completely void and criminal.
Eleanor's hands began to shake visible to everyone standing around the bright reception lobby.
She realized her plan to seize the family fortune was crumbling right before her eyes.
Eleanor: David, please let us discuss this privately inside my personal office!
David: The time for private discussions ended when you terrified our daughter today.
Eleanor: I was doing this to preserve our family wealth from market crash risks!
David: You were doing this to put everything in your sole name before filing divorce.
Detective Miller looked at his fellow officer and gave a small nod toward Eleanor.
Detective Miller: Ma'am, we need to ask you to step downstairs to headquarters now.
Eleanor: You cannot arrest me in my own corporate headquarters building!
Detective Miller: We are detaining you for investigation of corporate forgery and grand larceny.
