Richard Vance: Security, lock the doors. Federal marshals are pulling up outside right now.
Security Guard: Yes, Mr. Vance. Right away, sir.
Veronica: Federal marshals? Over a minor disagreement in a bridal shop?!
Richard Vance: Financial audits revealed you've been money-laundering through fake bridal deposits for three years.
Veronica: That's a lie! You're just trying to ruin me because of what happened with your daughter!
Richard Vance: My forensic accountants flagged your illegal shell accounts long before today, Veronica.
The close-up static shot captured the absolute devastation frozen across the store owner's face.
The woman in the white suit clutches her cheek, staring ahead in total shock and disbelief.
Voice (Woman in White - BOLD & SHOCKED): "Your... daughter?"
Maya: Yes. My name is Maya Vance. Not that you ever bothered to ask before you attacked me.
Veronica: Maya... please, Mr. Vance... let's talk about this like reasonable business partners...
Richard Vance: The only partnership you'll be managing from now on is a cellmate in federal prison.
Heavy boots crunched over the shattered glass as two federal agents walked through the gaping hole in the storefront.
Federal Agent: Veronica Miller, you are under arrest for financial fraud, tax evasion, and physical assault.
Veronica: Don't touch me! My designer suit will get ruined!
Federal Agent: Put your hands behind your back. You've got a long time to worry about your wardrobe behind bars.
Cold steel cuffs snapped around Veronica's wrists as she was dragged past the racks of expensive wedding gowns.
Maya: Let's go home, Dad. I've seen enough dresses for one day.
Richard Vance: We'll buy out the entire boutique tomorrow, princess. Whatever makes you smile.
True justice had finally restored peace to the avenue, washing away the bitter sting of arrogance with unwavering paternal love.
