Later that evening, Mr. Harrison sat beside Leo in the parlor.
The room was filled with old family photographs in silver frames.
He picked up a framed picture of a young smiling woman.
Leo recognized his mother immediately and let out a gentle sigh.
Leo: That is my mommy! She looks so pretty there.
Businessman: She was a wonderful person, Leo. Your grandfather loved her.
Leo: Why did we live in a small apartment far away?
Businessman: Your grandfather had a big fight with her years ago.
Mr. Harrison explained how Arthur had made a terrible family mistake.
He spent years trying to find his daughter to say sorry.
By the time he found her track, she had passed away.
He spent his final days ensuring his grandson was safe forever.
Businessman: He left his trust fund and life insurance to you.
Leo: What is a trust fund, Mr. Harrison?
Businessman: It means you will go to the best school always.
Victoria listened quietly from the hallway behind the heavy door.
She learned that the bank accounts held millions of dollars total.
Her heart filled with dark envy as she heard the facts.
She had spent three years trying to access those private funds.
Now a little boy owned everything without even trying at all.
Victoria: He doesn't even know how to manage a mortgage!
Businessman: He doesn't have to. I am his official trustee.
Victoria stepped into the room with a sharp, angry scowl.
She pointed her finger directly at Mr. Harrison's face now.
Victoria: You planned this whole thing to control the money!
Businessman: I do not take a single cent from this estate.
Victoria: Nobody works for free in a house like this!
Businessman: Arthur was my best friend, and I keep my promises.
Leo held his mother's photo tightly against his small chest.
He did not care about the money or the giant mansion.
He was just glad to know his grandfather had loved him.
Leo: I like it here because of the nice picture.
Businessman: You can keep that picture in your bedroom, Leo.
Victoria: He belongs in a shelter, not in this luxury!
Businessman: Leave this room right now before I call security.
Victoria turned on her heel and walked away in silence.
She knew her time in the mansion was ending very fast.
