What kind of evidence are we talking about here, Veronica?
Opens the folder, revealing documents Financial records, incriminating emails, and witness statements.
Is this legal stuff or some sort of trickery?
Closes the folder and locks it Look, May, I wouldn't present this if I didn't think it would help.
Alright, Veronica. Let's see what you've got. But remember, this conversation ends if any of this is bullshit.
Slides the folder across the table Every piece of evidence in there is legitimate.
Looks at May with pleading eyes Please, May. I know Tom has wronged you, but these documents will prove he's not just having an affair.
And what exactly does this evidence show, Veronica? Don't play games with me.

That's... that's serious, Veronica. Are you sure about this?
Leans forward, intense May, I've spent weeks gathering this evidence. I've spoken to reliable sources, people who have firsthand knowledge of Tom's actions.
Okay, Veronica. I'm seeing facts now. But even so, this changes nothing if Tom doesn't come clean.
Nods understandingly I know, May. That's why it's crucial that we confront him together. He needs to know that we won't tolerate his lies anymore.
