The New Beneficiary

Marcus: Eleanor, please step back.

Eleanor: You are taking her side?

Marcus: I am trying to prevent a lawsuit in my lobby.

Eleanor: I own this lobby!

Maya: Actually, the hotel is now part of the trust fund.

Eleanor: What trust fund?

Maya: The one my father set up for me.

Eleanor: That is impossible. He left everything to me.

Maya: He left you the house in the Hamptons.

Eleanor: Just the summer house?

Maya: And a monthly allowance.

Eleanor: An allowance? I am a billionaire's widow!

Maya: You were a billionaire's wife. Now you are just a beneficiary.

Eleanor: I will contest this fake document.

Maya: It is fully notarized.

Eleanor: You forged his signature.

Marcus: Let me see the papers, Maya.

Maya: You can look, but do not give them to her.

Marcus: I won't.

Marcus took the heavy legal packet, adjusting his glasses as he scanned the first page.

Eleanor: Well? Tell her she is going to jail.

Marcus: Eleanor...

Eleanor: What is it?

Marcus: This bears the official seal of Sterling and Associates.

Eleanor: Sterling is in on it!

Marcus: It also has Arthur's signature. I would recognize it anywhere.

Eleanor: He was sick! He wasn't in his right mind.

Maya: He was perfectly lucid.

Eleanor: He had dementia.

Maya: No, he had heart failure. His mind was sharp until the end.

Eleanor: You manipulated him on his deathbed.

Maya: I didn't even know he was wealthy until yesterday.

Eleanor: Oh, please. You smelled the money.

Maya: My mother raised me in secret to protect me from you.

Eleanor: From me?

Maya: She knew how ruthless you were.

Eleanor: Your mother was a homewrecker.

Maya: My mother was his first wife.

A murmur ran through the crowd, several people holding their phones closer to catch the drama.

Eleanor: They divorced thirty years ago.

Maya: But he never stopped caring about us.

Eleanor: He paid you off to stay away.

Maya: He paid for my education. He bought our house.

Eleanor: Using my money!

Maya: It was his family business.

Eleanor: I helped him build this empire.

Maya: You spent his empire on private jets and charity galas.

Eleanor: I maintained our social standing.

Maya: You drained the accounts. That's why he changed the will.

Eleanor: Give me those papers, Marcus.

Marcus: I can't do that, Eleanor.

Eleanor: I demand you hand them over right now.

Marcus: According to this, Maya is the new majority shareholder.

Eleanor: That means nothing until a judge signs off.

Maya: A judge signed off this morning.
