In one scene the Lynch parents tell their adopted daughter, Mrs. Lawson, she's not their child: Sharon Lynch has returned and they demand she divorce Charles within a month. They offer $10 million now and another $10 million if she behaves, and threaten reprisals. She's publicly humiliated as Sharon is roughly confronted by guards. Realizing her marriage was a family arrangement, she accepts the timed divorce and vows to endure the month's performance. Mr. Lawson returns in three hours; she must prepare his favorite soup before he lands.
