Evelyn: You think you're so clever, don't you?
Maya: I am done being your victim, Evelyn.
Evelyn: David's life insurance policy names me as the primary backup beneficiary if you refuse to act!
Maya: Is that why you were so eager for him to marry Chloe? So you could keep control of his payout?
Evelyn: That two-million-dollar policy will pay off every single medical bill by next week!
Thomas: Mrs. Vance, I wouldn't be so sure about that payout if I were you.
Evelyn: What do you know about my son's life insurance, Thomas?
Thomas: I happen to be the Senior Claims Adjuster for Apex Life Mutual.
Evelyn's eyes widened. She stared at Thomas, her lip trembling slightly as she swallowed hard.
Evelyn: Apex Mutual? David's policy is through Prudential!
Thomas: He transferred the policy to Apex four weeks ago, Mrs. Vance.
Maya: He made the change right after we had our last big argument about finances.
Evelyn: He wouldn't change his primary beneficiary without telling me! I am his mother!
Thomas: He didn't name you, Mrs. Vance. And he didn't name Chloe Miller either.
Evelyn: Then who is on the policy?!
Maya: I am, Evelyn. And the trust fund created for our unborn child.
Silence fell over the porch like a heavy blanket. Evelyn stared at Maya's stomach, her face draining of all color.
Evelyn: Unborn child...? You're... you're pregnant?
Maya: Twelve weeks. I found out the morning before his accident.
Evelyn: David... David knew about this?
Maya: I handed him the ultrasound picture right before he walked out that door to meet Chloe.
Evelyn: He never mentioned a baby to me!
Maya: Because he was ashamed, Evelyn. He realized what he was throwing away to satisfy your greedy ambitions.
Evelyn: My grandson... you are carrying my grandson?
Maya: This child will never know your name, Evelyn. And not a single cent of that two-million-dollar policy will ever touch your bank account.
Evelyn took a shaky step forward, reaching out a trembling hand toward Maya's waist, but Thomas stepped firmly into her path.
Thomas: Don't even think about touching her, Mrs. Vance.
Evelyn: Maya, please... we can work this out! David needs his mother!
Maya: David made his choice when he listened to you. Now you get to pay the price for both of them.
