The distant sound of police sirens grew louder outside the high iron gates.
Victoria paced back and forth across the sunlit marble foyer nervously.
Victoria: You are destroying this family's public reputation!
Evelyn: You destroyed this family the day my father passed away.
Victoria: I kept this estate standing when debts were piling high!
Marcus: You created those debts yourself through fake shell companies.
Victoria stopped pacing and stared at Marcus with sharp hatred.
Victoria: You were just a hired lawyer for the family estate.
Marcus: I was hired by Arthur to protect his daughter's future.
Evelyn: My father trusted Marcus more than anyone else.
Marcus knelt down to gather the scattered pages from the floor.
He arranged the documents into a neat stack in his hands.
Marcus: Every single wire transfer is fully documented right here.
Marcus: The court will see every transfer you made without permission.
Victoria reached out to snatch the stack of papers from his hands.
Marcus stepped back smoothly and placed the folder behind his back.
Victoria: Those papers are private property inside my residence!
Evelyn: This house was purchased by my grandfather decades ago.
Evelyn: The USA flag in this foyer represents his honorable service.
She looked up at the grand flag hanging against the white wall.
Evelyn: You brought dishonor to everything my family built here.
Victoria: You are an ungrateful stepdaughter who knows nothing!
The front doors clicked open as two uniformed police officers entered.
Their heavy boots clacked against the polished marble floor tiles loudly.
Officer: We received an urgent call regarding a disturbance here.
Marcus: Officer, I am attorney Marcus Vance representing Evelyn Miller.
Marcus handed the stack of financial documents to the head officer.
Marcus: This woman attempted physical assault and committed heavy fraud.
Victoria stepped back toward the staircase with her chin raised high.
Victoria: This is a simple domestic misunderstanding between family members.
The officer read the top page of the legal document carefully.
