Margarethe: I was in Ohio because I was recovering from knee surgery, child. Not because I was dead.
Victoria: Brandon, please! I did it for my family! You know how much my father means to me!
Brandon: Your father has been living in a luxury penthouse off our company expense account for six months!
Victoria: He was consulting for the new resort project!
Brandon: He doesn't even have a real estate license, Victoria! I checked his credentials yesterday!
Victoria: You were spying on my family?!
Brandon: I was investigating why three hundred thousand dollars of hotel construction budget disappeared into thin air!
Margarethe: You see, Victoria, arrogance always leaves a trail of messy papers.
Victoria: I am not going to jail for this! You can't prove I forged that signature!
Auditor: The IP address used to submit the digital wire transfer belongs to the router inside your private manager's suite, Miss Victoria.
Head Guard: The city police officers are waiting outside the front lobby right now, Mrs. Sterling.
Margarethe: Thank you, Arthur. Have them step inside.
Victoria: NO! Don't bring the police in here! My reputation will be ruined forever!
Brandon: Your reputation was ruined the moment you decided to treat human beings like trash.
Two uniformed police officers walked into the grand banquet hall, their heavy boots echoing on the marble floor.
Officer Davis: Mrs. Margarethe Sterling?
Margarethe: Yes, Officer. Thank you for arriving so quickly.
Officer Davis: We received the grand larceny report and the digital forensic files from your attorney.
Victoria: Officer, listen to me! This is a domestic misunderstanding! I'm engaged to his son!
Brandon: The engagement is officially canceled, Officer. She has no relation to this family or this property.
Officer Davis: Victoria Reed, you are under arrest for grand theft, felony forgery, and physical assault.
Victoria: Physical assault?! I just threw a little water!
Officer Davis: Throwing liquid forcefully onto a person's face constitutes misdemeanor battery under state law, ma'am.
Officer Davis stepped forward, grabbing Victoria's wrists and pulling them behind her back.
