Victoria: Homicide detectives?! Are you insane? Nobody was murdered!
Richard: Then where is Sarah, Victoria? Where did she go two years ago after she met you at the guest house?
Victoria: I don't know! She left! She wanted freedom from you and this huge estate!
Richard: Sarah would never have abandoned Maya! She lived for our daughter! The only reason she would ever disappear is if someone paid her off or forced her away!
Maya: Daddy... is Mommy still alive?
Richard: I'm going to find out today, Maya. I promise you, I will find out the truth.
Victoria turned on her high heels, attempting to march toward the front doors to make a fast exit.
Richard: Don't even think about stepping out that door, Victoria!
Victoria: You can't keep me captive in your house, Richard! That is illegal imprisonment!
Richard: The main security gates are already locked from my phone app. You aren't leaving until the sheriff arrives.
Victoria: You are ruining your own reputation! Think about what the business board will say when they hear about this scandal!

Maya: Victoria... why do you hate me so much?
Victoria stopped near the door, turning around with an icy sneer directed at the young girl in the wheelchair.

Victoria: She ruined everything! I was supposed to be the lady of this estate! I was supposed to inherit the trust fund rights once we got married!
Richard: So that was your goal all along, wasn't it? The trust fund.
Victoria: You have millions sitting in that estate trust, Richard! And you spent half of it on surgeries and physical therapy for a child who will never walk again!
Richard: How dare you talk about my daughter's health like that!
Maya: The doctor said I am going to walk again, Victoria! He said my legs are getting stronger every week!
Victoria: Oh, keep dreaming, little girl! You'll be sitting in that chair for the rest of your life!
Richard stepped forward, his body shaking with pure rage as he pointed a finger directly at Victoria's face.
Richard: One more insult toward my daughter, and I will personally throw you into that swimming pool in front of every reporter outside!
Victoria: You wouldn't touch me. You're too proud of your pristine reputation.
Richard: My
