Here's the imagined flashback scene, depicting the discussion and confrontation between Grace and the Tallis family:

[Flashback Scene]

In the bustling kitchen of the Tallis household, Grace, the scullery maid, stands with an air of determination as the rest of the family and some of the servants gather around her. Tension fills the room.

Grace: (With a firm voice) I need to speak my mind, and I won't hold back any longer. Master Jack, Mrs. Emily, Leon, Briony, all of you... I must defend Robbie, and you need to hear the truth.

Master Jack: (Sternly) What's this, Grace? You seem quite impassioned. What truth are you talking about?

Grace: (Without hesitation) The truth about Robbie. He's not the criminal you all believe him to be. I've known him since he was a boy, and he would never commit such a terrible act.

Mrs. Emily: (Dismissively) Oh, Grace, you're just a loyal servant trying to protect one of your own. We have evidence against Robbie, and that's enough for us to know he's guilty.

Grace: (Fighting back tears) With all due respect, Mrs. Emily, you don't know him like I do. He's kind, compassionate, and full of integrity. I can't bear to see you tarnish his name like this.

Leon: (Scoffing) Spare us the theatrics, Grace. It's not like you know anything about the world beyond this kitchen.

Grace: (Fierce) I may be a scullery maid, but I know right from wrong, and I know Robbie is innocent. You have no idea how much he's struggled to make something of himself, and you're destroying his life without a second thought.

Briony: (Angrily) You should be careful, Grace. You're speaking out of turn.

Grace: (Unwavering) I won't be silenced, Miss Briony. I've watched Robbie grow up, and I've watched him work so hard to become someone better than his circumstances allowed. You can't take that away from him.

Master Jack: (Sternly) That's enough, Grace. We won't have you spreading lies about this family.

Grace: (Resolute) These aren't lies, sir. I won't let you ruin Robbie's future with your blind judgment. He deserves better than this.

Mrs. Emily: (Raising her voice) I won't tolerate this insolence any longer! You've forgotten your place, Grace.

Grace: (Holding back tears) No, I haven't forgotten anything, Mrs. Emily. I'm simply standing up for the truth. I can't continue to work in a house where injustice prevails.

Master Jack: (Coldly) If that's how you feel, then perhaps it's best for you to leave. We won't tolerate insubordination.

Grace: (With a heavy heart) Very well, then. I resign.

The room falls silent as Grace's words sink in. With one last determined look, she turns and walks away, leaving the Tallis family and the kitchen behind, standing up for what she believes is right and protecting Robbie's honor.
