Victoria looked at Julian, then looked at the ruined ballroom, her face contorting in panic.
Victoria: Frozen? What do you mean frozen? How am I supposed to pay the caterers?
Arthur: You won't be paying them. Because you are all leaving this property in five minutes.
Evelyn: This is my home! You can't throw us out of our own home!
Arthur: Check your phone, Evelyn.
Evelyn nervously pulled her diamond-encrusted phone from her purse. Her hands shook as she opened a text notification from her personal banker.
Evelyn: No... no, this is an error! The bank can't seize the house today!
Lawyer: The eviction notice was signed by a federal judge an hour ago. You have five minutes to take your personal belongings, provided those belongings weren't purchased with Miss Kingsley's stolen funds.
Victoria: My ring! He bought this ring yesterday!
Chloe: With my money, Victoria. Take it off.
Victoria: Never! Julian, do something!
Julian was still sitting on the cold floor, wiping blood from his lip, looking completely broken.
Julian: It's over, Victoria. We have nothing left.
Victoria: You coward! You told me you were worth hundreds of millions!
Victoria pulled the heavy diamond ring off her finger and threw it violently at Julian's chest before storming toward the exit in her high heels.
Evelyn: Victoria, wait! What about the family honor?
Arthur: You sold your honor the day you laid a hand on my child.
Arthur walked over to Chloe and gently wrapped his heavy coat around her shivering, bruised shoulders.
Arthur: Are you alright, sweetheart?
Chloe: I am now, Dad. Thank you.
Julian: Chloe... please look at me. We can fix this. I still love you!
Chloe turned around and looked down at Julian sitting in his ruined tuxedo on the floor where she had been forced to kneel just moments ago.
Chloe: You don't love me, Julian. You loved the idea of using me until you found someone richer.
Julian: I'll do anything! I'll apologize to your father, I'll go on my knees!
Chloe: Don't bother. You look pathetic enough as it is.
