Thomas: She did it for the life insurance and the trust fund, Dad.
Eleanor: Shut up! You don't know anything!
Thomas: I know you are drowning in secret credit card debt. David ran a background check on your accounts.
David: She owes nearly two million dollars to private lenders, Harrison.
Harrison: Two million? Eleanor, you told me you were managing the finances perfectly.
Eleanor: I was just having a run of bad luck in the market. I was going to fix it!
Thomas: By killing a two-year-old girl to steal her money?
Eleanor: The child wouldn't have known any better! It would have looked like a tragic allergy accident.
Harrison stumbled back, grabbing the back of his leather chair for support.
Harrison: You actually did it. You tried to hurt my granddaughter.
Eleanor: I did it for us, Harrison! To save our lifestyle!
Harrison: You are sick.
Eleanor: Don't you dare judge me! You are the one who cut my allowance last month!
Thomas: The conversation is over, Eleanor.
Heavy footsteps echoed in the corporate hallway. Two uniformed police officers and the detective entered the boardroom.
Detective: Eleanor Vance?
Eleanor: No. No, you can't arrest me in my own office.
Detective: You are under arrest for the attempted murder of a minor. Place your hands behind your back.
Eleanor: Harrison, call my lawyer! Call the firm!
Harrison: You are on your own, Eleanor.
Eleanor: You coward! You can't just abandon me!
The officers grabbed her arms, forcing the steel handcuffs tightly over her wrists.
Detective: You have the right to remain silent. I suggest you use it.
They dragged her toward the door. She kicked and screamed, completely dropping her wealthy socialite facade.
Eleanor: Thomas, I will destroy you for this!
Thomas: Enjoy prison. I hear the food is terrible.
The doors closed, cutting off her frantic screaming. The boardroom was quiet again.
Harrison: Thomas... I am so sorry.
Thomas: Sorry isn't enough, Dad.
Harrison: I didn't know. I swear to you, I didn't know she was capable of that.
Thomas: You brought her into our lives. You ignored all the red flags because she looked good on your arm.
Harrison: Can I see Lily? Can I visit her at the hospital?
Thomas: No.
Harrison: Please, Thomas. She is my only grandchild.
Thomas: You failed to protect her. David is filing the papers tomorrow. You will have no legal access to my daughter or her trust fund ever again.
Harrison: You are taking my family away from me?
Thomas: You did that yourself. We are done here.
Thomas turned and walked out of the boardroom, leaving his father alone in the silent, empty room.
