Victoria: Officers! Listen to me! This is a domestic misunderstanding! I am the lady of this house!
Officer Miller: Ma'am, we have already received the live video file from Mr. Lawson at the district attorney's office.
Victoria: The... the video file...?
Officer Miller: We watched you slap this young lady, throw her onto the floor, and pour a bottle of champagne over her while shouting verbal threats[cite: 1].
Victoria: It was a private argument! She was being disrespectful to me in my own home!
Officer Miller: Battery against an individual is a criminal misdemeanor, ma'am. And combined with the grand larceny warrant, you are under arrest.
Officer Miller stepped forward, grabbing Victoria's wrists and pulling them behind her back.
A sharp click echoed through the hallway as the steel handcuffs locked in place around her wrists.
Victoria: AHH! Get your hands off me! You're hurting my arms!
Officer Miller: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law.
Victoria: David! Tell them to stop! Please! We can talk about this in private! I'll return the two million dollars!
David: You'll return it through the state asset recovery department, Victoria.
Victoria: Clara! Clara, please! Tell him you forgive me! We're women, we understand each other!
Clara: I understand that you are a bully who thought money gave you the right to stomp on human beings, Victoria. I have nothing else to say to you.
Officer Miller: Walk toward the door, ma'am.
Victoria's high heels dragged uselessly against the checkered tiles as the officers escorted her toward the open front entrance[cite: 1].
Her gold sequin gown caught on the doorway frame, tearing near the hem as she sobbed in total humiliation[cite: 1].
Victoria: DAVID! YOU'LL REGRET THIS! MY FAMILY WILL SUE YOU FOR EVERYTHING!
David: Your family is already facing federal wire fraud charges, Victoria. Good luck with your lawsuit.
The heavy front doors slammed shut with a solid thud, leaving the grand hallway in a quiet, peaceful calm.
