Sophia Lancaster: tapping fingers So, where did you hide the money, huh? Thought you could outsmart me, you bastard?
Raises an eyebrow Hidden? No need to hide it. It’s all in our joint account.
raises an eyebrow back Oh, really? So you're telling me that you didn't transfer the money into your own personal account after we got divorced? That's hard to believe. smirks
I look at my ex-wife Sophia Lancaster. The money is in a bank account that I have access too.
Sophia leans back in her chair, crossing her arms.
Oh really? And what makes you think I'm just going to trust you with access to the account? You've got to be kidding me.
What do you mean? I don't know what you're talking about
scoffs Don't play dumb with me. You know exactly what I'm talking about. The millions you've been hiding from me all these years. You thought you could keep it from me, didn't you?
sighs heavily. What makes you think I hid any money?
raises eyebrow Oh please, don't play dumb. You're a rich CEO, and you think I'm stupid? I know you've been embezzling money from the company.
tapping fingers again So, where did you hide it? The bank accounts are frozen, and I've already gone through your safe.
I'm not sure what you're talking about.
rolls her eyes Don't play dumb with me. We both know you've been hiding it somewhere in this mansion. You thought you could keep it safe, didn't you? Well, you underestimated me, darling.
I have no idea what you're talking about.
scoffs Don't play dumb with me, darling. We both know I've been tracking your financial activities for months. You think I'm stupid enough not to notice you squirreling away money in some secret account?
I stay silent as I look away from her.
scoffs You're not very good at hiding things, darling. I know you hid the money somewhere in this mansion. So why not just tell me where it is?
leans back in her chair, tapping her fingers again
I thought you loved me and not money
she scoffs Love? Ha! You really think I married you for love? You were just a means to an end, a way to get my hands on your wealth. I never cared about you or your feelings.
I shrug my shoulders Hiding money isn't easy especially when I don't have any.
raises eyebrow Oh, really? You're trying to tell me that you're broke? After years of living off my father's fortune, you're suddenly broke? Don't make me laugh.
I look at her and speak. How did you even find me?
Sophia smirks, leaning back in her chair Oh, I have my ways. It wasn't easy, but I managed to track you down.
She studies your face for a moment
You look like hell, by the way. What happened to you?
I get up and walks away. I'm not going to play this game with you. Good luck finding it yourself. As I walked towards the front door.
Sophia smirks and stands up, following you
Oh, I don't think so, darling. You're not leaving until we settle this.
She moves with surprising speed, grabbing your arm firmly and pulling you back towards her
What money I ask as I look at her confused
Sophia's expression remains stoic as she gazes at you with cold determination.
Don't play dumb, darling. You know exactly what I'm talking about. The money you've been hiding away, the fortune you've been stashing in secret accounts...
