Sarah pulled Lily close against her apron, smoothing down the girl's light blue dress while glaring at Marcus.
Sarah: You hit a seven-year-old child because she saved a man's life?!
Marcus: She ruined my entire plan! She wasn't even supposed to be near the VIP tent!
Billionaire: So you finally admit it, Marcus. It was a plan.
Marcus: Shut up! Just shut up!
Billionaire: Why? I paid you three hundred thousand dollars a year. I funded your daughter's college tuition. I gave you a home on my estate grounds.
Marcus: Three hundred thousand is pocket change compared to what your corporate empire is worth!
Billionaire: Ah. The corporate empire. Of course.
Marcus: You were going to sign over the entire family trust fund to a charity foundation tomorrow morning! Billions of dollars, gone to orphans and hospitals!
Billionaire: It is my money, Marcus. I built Sterling Enterprises from nothing. I have the right to leave it to whomever I choose.
Marcus: Your board of directors didn't think so! They offered me five million dollars in cash if you died before that contract was signed!
The crowd of high-society guests gasped, several board members in the front row shrinking back in disgrace.
Billionaire: Five million dollars... to murder the man who fed you for six years.
Marcus: You were an old man standing in the way of progress! It was supposed to look like a sudden heart attack!
Lily: He was standing behind the curtain with the bottle, Mom. I was bringing fresh cloth napkins to the table and saw him spill the powder into the glass.
Sarah: You are so brave, Lily. So very brave.
Billionaire: Guard, call the state police and the district attorney immediately. Tell them we have a confession recorded in front of forty witnesses.
Guard 1: Sir, the police cruisers are already entering the main gate driveway.
