Amanda: Richard, please... I was desperate! My ex-husband was blackmailing me!
Richard: Blackmailing you for what, Amanda? For helping him steal from other wealthy families?!
Amanda: No! He threatened to expose my past to you!
Richard: Your past was going to come out regardless! You can't fake a pregnancy forever!
Amanda: I was going to pretend I had a miscarriage next month in Europe!
Richard: You were going to take my money, fly to Europe, pretend to lose a child, and run away with my late wife's necklace?!
Amanda looked down at the white marble floor, unable to meet Richard's eyes as her tears ruined her heavy makeup.
Amanda: I didn't want to hurt you, Richard... I really cared about you...
Richard: You cared about my bank account, my mansion, and my social standing in Dallas!
Leo: Dad, the Dallas police officers just pulled into the driveway.
Red and blue lights flashed through the tall glass windows of the foyer, illuminating the white pillars outside.
Amanda: Richard! Tell them it was a misunderstanding! Tell them we solved it!
Richard: I will tell them the exact truth. That you entered my home under false pretenses, committed grand theft, and attempted bigamy.
Amanda: I'll go to prison for years!
Richard: Then you should have thought about prison before you tried to rob my family.
Two uniformed police officers walked through the front doors, their heavy boots clicking against the polished marble floor.
Officer Davis: Mr. Richard Sterling?
Richard: Yes, Officer. Thank you for arriving so quickly.
Officer Davis: We received a dispatch call regarding grand larceny and stolen high-value property.
Richard: The suspect is sitting right there on the floor. The stolen diamond necklace is concealed inside her dress padding.
Amanda: Don't touch me! I have rights!
Officer Davis: Ma'am, stand up slowly and place your hands behind your back.
