Samantha: You can't expel me! My dad sits on the executive board with your father!
Man in Suit: Your father resigned from the board five minutes ago after receiving our corporate audit report.
Samantha: (Gasping) Resigned?! That's impossible! Our family controls half the city's real estate!
Man in Suit: Not after federal investigators finish auditing your family's tax evasion scheme this afternoon.
Maya: (Whispering) Oh, my word... she's losing everything right before our eyes.
Chloe: You thought wealth gave you the right to treat everyone around you like garbage, Samantha.
Samantha: (Weeping) Please, Chloe! Tell them to call off the lawyers! My reputation will be ruined!
Chloe: Reputation is built on how you treat people when you think nobody important is watching.
Man in Suit: Shall we escort her off the school premises now, Miss Chloe?
Chloe: Yes. Make sure her designer fur coat doesn't get stained on the way out.
Two security guards stepped forward, gently taking Samantha by her arms as her knees buckled beneath her.
Samantha: This isn't over! You'll pay for this! Both of you!
Man in Suit: Move along quietly, Miss Vance. Your car is waiting outside.
