Arthur stepped past the stunned security guards, his heavy footsteps echoing across the silent ballroom floor.
Arthur Vance: You thought you could push my daughter to the floor and take over the estate unopposed?
Julian: Father, listen to me! Clara forced me into the corporate restructuring!
Clara: That is a complete lie! Julian planned the entire embezzlement scheme from day one!
Arthur Vance: Save your breath for the federal marshals waiting outside in the lobby.
Elena: Are the asset freezes in place, Dad?
Arthur Vance: Every single corporate account, offshore trust, and luxury vehicle has been frozen by court order, princess.
Julian: No! You can't freeze my assets! I am the CEO of Vance Global!
Arthur Vance: You were the CEO. The board voted unanimously to strip your title ten minutes ago.
Clara let out a piercing shriek, her white wedding gown sweeping through spilled champagne on the floor.
Clara: This is a nightmare! I won't go to prison for a broke fraudster!
Julian: Shut your mouth, Clara! This is all your fault!
Two federal agents in dark suits pushed past Arthur, marching straight toward the center of the ballroom.
Federal Agent: Julian Vance and Clara Moretti, you are under arrest for federal wire fraud and conspiracy.
Julian: Don't touch me! Do you know who I am?!
Federal Agent: We know exactly who you are, Mr. Vance. Put your hands behind your back.
Cold steel cuffs snapped around Julian's wrists as he struggled against the agents.
Can true justice finally heal the wounds left by years of greed and emotional cruelty?
Elena: Take them away. I've seen enough of their acting for one lifetime.
