Brenda: The what?
Mr. Vance: The foreclosure notice on your house.
Brenda: My house is perfectly fine.
Chloe: Mom cut off your husband's allowance three months ago.
Brenda: Allowance? He is a CEO!
Chloe: He runs a shell company that Mom funded just to keep you quiet.
Brenda: You are a vicious, jealous liar.
Mr. Vance: The funding stopped, and your mortgage bounced for the last three months.
Brenda: That is impossible. I have millions in my personal account.
Chloe: Not anymore.
Brenda: What did you do?
Mr. Vance: Since those funds were stolen from the estate, we had the accounts frozen.
Brenda stared at her phone screen, tapping the bank app frantically as her face grew pale.
Brenda: Access denied... this can't be happening.
Chloe: It is happening. You took everything from her while she was dying.
Brenda: I deserve that money! I stayed here in this boring town.
Chloe: You stayed because you couldn't survive without her wallet.
Brenda: Mr. Vance, I will sue you for everything you own.
Mr. Vance: Good luck affording a divorce lawyer, let alone a civil litigator.
Brenda: Divorce? My marriage is fine.
Chloe: Your husband packed his bags this morning.
Brenda: How would you possibly know that?
Chloe: Because he called me asking if there was any money left in the trust fund.
Brenda: He called you? Before me?
Chloe: He wanted to know if the prenup was still valid.
Mr. Vance: It is very much valid, Brenda. You leave the marriage with nothing.
Brenda: I want this man out of this church right now!
Chloe: You don't make the rules anymore.
Brenda: I am the primary beneficiary of the estate!
Mr. Vance: Let's read the updated will right now, shall we?
He clicked the brass locks on his briefcase open, pulling out a thick stack of stapled papers.
Brenda: You can't do a will reading at a funeral.
Mr. Vance: It was your mother's explicit final request.
Chloe: She wanted everyone to know the truth.
Mr. Vance: To my daughter Brenda, I leave the sum of one dollar.
Brenda: One dollar? That is illegal!
Mr. Vance: It is entirely legal. It proves she didn't forget you, she just chose to disinherit you.
