Detective Vance: Miss Ashford, we also need to discuss the night of October 14th, four years ago.
Victoria's body went stiff, her eyes darting toward the nearest exit door.
Victoria: That fire was an accident! Electrical short in the basement!
Detective Vance: The fire marshal's report was reopened last week, Brenda. We found traces of gasoline near the main fuse box.
Claire: You set fire to my childhood home just to destroy the original will.
Victoria: You can't prove I was anywhere near that house that night!
Detective Vance: Actually, we can. The neighboring property had security cameras installed three days prior. We have clear footage of your car leaving the driveway two minutes before the flames broke out.
Victoria began panting heavily, clutching her chest as her face turned completely red.
Victoria: It was supposed to be empty! Nobody was supposed to get hurt!
Claire: My mother was inside that house, Brenda! She barely made it out of the master bedroom alive!
Victoria: She survived, didn't she?! She's fine!
Claire: She spent three months in the intensive care unit with severe smoke inhalation! Her lungs are permanently damaged because of your greed!
Guest 3: Arson? She tried to kill someone?!
Guest 4: Call the police! Get her out of here!
Julian: Detective, take her away! She's a criminal!
Claire: Hold your horses, Julian. We're not done with you yet either.
Julian froze, looking nervously at Claire.
Julian: Me? I didn't set any fire! I wasn't even in the state four years ago!
Claire: No, but you signed three corporate tax forms last month certifying that Victoria was the sole owner of the Ashford estate, didn't you?
Julian: I... I was just acting as her legal advisor!
Claire: You acted as her accomplice in exchange for a ten percent cut of the offshore liquidation.
Julian: That was a standard finder's fee! I have a contract!
Detective Vance: Which makes you an accessory to grand theft and wire fraud, Mr. Vance. Hand over your phone, please.
Julian: My phone? You can't search my personal property without a warrant!
Detective Vance: Warrant is right here, signed by Judge Miller at four o'clock today. Give it here.
