Agent Vance: Victoria Hayes and Daniel Vance? You are both under arrest for federal wire fraud and grand larceny.
Victoria: You can't touch us! My family name holds absolute immunity in this state!
Agent Vance: Federal environmental and financial crimes supersede local family immunity, ma'am. Let's move.
Daniel: Please, Agent Vance... I cooperated with the audit trail! Look at my files!
Agent Vance: Cooperating after you get caught doesn't erase embezzlement, Mr. Vance.
The heavy steel handcuffs snapped onto Victoria's wrists with a sharp, metallic ring that echoed off the marble floor. Victoria shrieked in absolute rage, thrashing against the officers as her green dress tore against the doorframe. Daniel didn't even attempt to resist, hanging his head low in utter defeat as cold steel locked around his wrists as well.
Victoria: You haven't won, Clara! I'll appeal this from behind bars until the day I die!
Clara: Die knowing you lost every single cent you stole. That's my final gift to you.
Daniel: I'm sorry, Mom... I truly am sorry for everything.
Clara: Save your apologies for a federal judge, Daniel. You're going to need a very good speech.
The marshals hauled the disgraced pair away through the front entrance, their expensive shoes dragging across the marble tiles. Silence settled back over the grand foyer, broken only by the steady dripping of water from Clara's damp maid uniform. Agent Vance walked over respectfully, handing a fresh towel and a set of master estate keys to the rightful chairwoman.
Agent Vance: The primary corporate accounts have been fully restored to your name, Madam Chairwoman.
Clara: Thank you, Agent Vance. Let's get the executive board into conference room A by this afternoon.
Agent Vance: Considered it done. The auditors are already waiting inside.
Clara wrapped the dry towel around her shoulders, standing tall in the center of the foyer where she had been humiliated just an hour before. The vipers had been cleared out, the stolen empire reclaimed, and absolute justice had finally taken its rightful place at the head of the table.
