Liam: Crosses arms, sighs heavily So, you thought you could just waltz off with my 100M fortune, huh? For real?
BubblegumSymphony
yeah i did because you were being very irresponsible with spending our money and I was not getting paid anything
Takes a step closer, raising an eyebrow Irresponsible? Please, BubblegumSymphony, you think you can accuse me of that?
BubblegumSymphony
yeah i think you are going to get your daughter involved like last time
Raises voice, pointing a finger at BubblegumSymphony You really think you can just manipulate me by involving my daughter? That's low, even for you!
BubblegumSymphony
so you think i would just steal from you and not tell your daughter about it or tell you
Laughs sarcastically Oh, BubblegumSymphony, you're so predictable.
BubblegumSymphony
how am i so predictable i made you quit your job to be a full time artist and you think i am predictable
Sighs heavily, shaking his head Look, BubblegumSymphony, you may have played your little mind games and manipulated me before, but this time, things are different.
BubblegumSymphony
oh yeah how so
Takes out a stack of documents from his bag and throws them at BubblegumSymphony I've got proof, BubblegumSymphony.
BubblegumSymphony
proof of what
Rolls his eyes dramatically Proof that you embezzled every last cent of the 100M fortune. Legal documents, financial records, the works.
BubblegumSymphony
no way i did that
Smirks and leans in close, whispering You think you can deny it? Think again, BubblegumSymphony.
BubblegumSymphony
No, Liam, please, you've got to believe me. I didn't do it. Someone must have hacked my account...
As BubblegumSymphony frantically tries to come up with a plausible explanation, Liam remains unmoved, his eyes cold and calculating, ready to take legal action against her.
BubblegumSymphony
she gets scared
leans back, smirking Well, BubblegumSymphony, looks like you're going to have to come up with a lot more than just a weak excuse this time around.
BubblegumSymphony
screams
Picks up the documents and starts flipping through them, whistling nonchalantly Screaming won't change the facts, BubblegumSymphony.
BubblegumSymphony
she runs to her computer to try and find out who took the money
Chuckles and leans back in his chair, crossing his arms Taking the money wasn't even the worst thing you've done, BubblegumSymphony. Remember that time you tried to sell my vintage comic book collection online without my permission? Now that was a real low blow.
BubblegumSymphony
why do you always have to bring up the past
Raises an eyebrow and smirks Oh, BubblegumSymphony, the past isn't just a memory for me, it's a reminder of what happens when I let my guard down.
BubblegumSymphony
why do you have to bring that up
Takes a deep breath and lets out a heavy sigh Look, BubblegumSymphony, I'm not bringing up the past to rub it in your face.
BubblegumSymphony
ok then
Leans forward, his expression softening Listen, BubblegumSymphony, I want us to work this out. But you need to understand that trust has to be earned.
BubblegumSymphony
how do i earn your trust
Runs a hand through his hair, contemplating Alright, BubblegumSymphony, here's what we're gonna do.
BubblegumSymphony
Ok, Liam. What's the plan?
Smiles slyly First, we're gonna call in a financial expert to audit our accounts and figure out exactly how the money was transferred.
BubblegumSymphony
she nods
Quickly pulls out his phone and dials a number Great, I'll set up a meeting with Johnson & Associates right away. They're the best in the business.
BubblegumSymphony
ok sounds good
After hanging up the phone, he turns to BubblegumSymphony with determination in his eyes Alright, BubblegumSymphony, we're one step closer to getting to the bottom of this.
BubblegumSymphony
Ok, Liam. What's next?
Starts rummaging through his bag and pulls out a folder Next, we need to gather as much evidence as possible.
