Victoria:I made a mistake when I was leaving yesterday...I was blind all these years...I never let her get close to me...I never tried to love her.....but yesterday she opened my eyes
Stuart:about whom you're talking?....Sadie?
Victoria:yes, Sadie...and for her that I'm going to stay here
In that moment there was a knock at the door and Carmen
came in and told Stuart that Jerome his brother wanted to talk
to him. Stuart told her that he was coming so she left.
Stuart:don't leave Victoria....this is your house and I need you

At the Harrison's villa Jerome was waiting in Stuart office and a
few minutes later Stuart came in.
Stuart:so Jerome how is you?
Jerome:good and you?
Stuart:with some thoughts but good....sit down
Jerome:what did you wanted Stuart?
Stuart:I told you sit down Jerome
Jerome:I don't have time for bullshit....what do you want?
Stuart:Jerome sit down I'm not going to argue...I was looking at the accounts and I saw that a lot of money were withdrawn from your account
Jerome:that is right..my account
Stuart:Jerome I'm not trying to act as a father
Jerome:than what?
Stuart:you know our father left me in charge of our inherit and I'm trying to care about it that's all....I just want to know what you did with the money....just to know...there's nothing wrong.....after all they are yours.....just tell me where you spent them
Jerome:sure Stuart let me just think.......it's a little bit difficult to remember because I don't have the diary on me (sarcastically) I went abroad, I bought 4 suits, 3 pairs of shoes....if I remember well I went to the casino where I lost some money....the maintenance of the boat.....then all in food, drinks and outing...that's all we've got in life
Stuart:Jerome don't get me wrong but you can't keep going like this it's a lot of money for a few months
Jerome:don't get in the way Stuart...my life is mine and I want to live it how I want
Stuart:fine, but listen carefully to what I'm telling you....if you spend all the money that our father gave you I'm not going to leave you touch the other things of our family....understood...I'm just trying to help you
Jerome:I don't need your help
Stuart:listen to me...
Jerome:no, listen you to me I don't need your help or anyone else...and if you really want to help someone go help that crazy wife you've got
Stuart:JEROME
In that moment Sadie entered in the office.
Sadie:hey Uncle Jerome how is you?
Jerome:from what your father thinks I'm not that good
Stuart:leave us alone Sadie
Jerome:no, it's not necessary...stay here I'm the one leaving
And with that Jerome left.
