Mark: Don't you ever lay a finger on my family!
Chloe: Your family? You only care about your corporate bank accounts!
Mark: I care about protecting what I earned through years of sacrifice.
Sarah: You didn't earn any of it! Grandpa left that estate to Chloe in his original will!
Mark: The original will was legally amended before he passed away!
Chloe: Amended with a forged signature that the forensic handwriting experts already debunked.
Mark pressed down harder, his breathing heavy and ragged as he glared down into her face.
Mark: Experts can be bought, just like every other lawyer in this county.
Sarah: Not federal prosecutors, Mark. They can't be bought with your dirty money.
Mark: Keep talking, Sarah. Your custody agreement is tied directly to my corporate assets.
Chloe: You wouldn't dare use the baby as a weapon in your financial war.
Mark: Watch me strip you both of everything until you're begging on the streets.
Chloe twisted her wrists, trying to find an angle to push his heavy weight away.
Chloe: You're already ruined, Mark. You just haven't looked at your phone today.
Mark paused for a fraction of a second, his expression tightening with sudden suspicion.
Will the notification on Mark's phone shatter his arrogant illusion of absolute control?
