Richard: Victoria... is this true?! Did you move that money without asking me?!
Victoria: Richard, don't listen to him! I was just trying to protect our assets!
Richard: You stole from our corporate liquidity pool?! That's why the bank rejected our loan application!
David: No, Richard. The bank rejected your loan because I personally called the chairman last night and told him to pull the plug.
Richard fell back into his chair, gasping for breath as he clutched his chest with both hands.
Richard: David... please... we're family! You married my daughter!
David: I offered you family five years ago, Richard. You called me a penniless loser at my own wedding dinner.
Victoria: David, darling... please, let's talk about this privately! I was wrong about last night! I didn't mean to hurt little Lily!
David: Don't speak my daughter's name.
Chloe: David... why didn't you tell me? Why did you hide all this money from me for five years?!
David: Because I wanted to see if you loved me for who I was, or for what I had in my bank account. And last night, you gave me your final answer.
Chloe: I love you, David! I was just confused last night! I was stressed about my parents!
David: You told me to apologize to the woman who put her hands on our three-year-old child. You cared more about your mother's dinner party than your own daughter's bruised face.
I pulled a thin white envelope from my jacket and slid it across the glass table toward Chloe.
Chloe: What... what is this?
David: Those are full custody papers and a divorce filing. My lawyers have already submitted the petition to the county court this morning.
Chloe: Divorce?! No! David, please! You can't take Lily away from me!
David: You surrendered your rights when you enabled child abuse in your parents' house. The security footage from the dining room cameras has already been handed over to child protective services.
Victoria: Security footage?! You recorded us inside my own house?!
David: I owned the home security company you hired last year, Victoria. I have every single angle of you slapping my daughter on crystal clear forty-K video.
Victoria's legs gave out, and she sank onto the floor, sobbing hysterically into her expensive leather handbag. Richard covered his face with his hands, completely broken as the reality of their destruction set in.
Richard: We're ruined... we have nothing left...
David: You have forty-eight hours to vacate the mountain estate, Richard. The deed officially transfers to Vance Capital at midnight tonight.
Chloe: David! Look at me! Please! We can fix this! We can go to marriage counseling!
David: The time for fixing things was last night, Chloe. You chose your family's money over your daughter. Now you don't have either.
