Clara drove straight to the law offices in the middle of town.
She needed to hand over the original paperwork before Victoria could react.
The estate attorney, Mr. Harrison, welcomed Clara into his private office.
He was an old friend of Clara's father and trusted her completely.
Mr. Harrison: Clara, it has been a very long time since we spoke.
Clara: I found the real will inside Victoria's private folder today.
Clara placed the thick binder directly onto his large mahogany desk.
Mr. Harrison adjusted his glasses and began reviewing the official pages carefully.
His face grew dark as he saw the notary stamps and signatures.
Mr. Harrison: This is indeed your father's true original will.
Clara: Victoria lied to everyone and kept the entire inheritance.
Mr. Harrison: She committed serious legal fraud by hiding this document.
Lily sat quietly in the soft leather armchair drinking a box of juice.
She was still shaken from the frightening scene at the mansion.
Mr. Harrison picked up his office phone to call the county probate court.
Mr. Harrison: We will freeze all estate bank accounts by this afternoon.
Clara: Thank you for helping us set things right Mr. Harrison.
Mr. Harrison: Your father wanted you and Lily to be safe and secure.
Within two hours, formal legal notices were sent directly to the mansion.
Victoria received a court order stopping her from spending any estate money.
Her luxury credit cards were frozen, and her private car was impounded.
She called Clara five times in a row, but Clara ignored every call.
The truth was finally coming out into the open daylight.
Victoria's greedy lifestyle was coming to a sudden full stop.
Clara took Lily to a quiet park nearby to get some fresh air.
They sat on a green wooden bench watching the birds play.
Lily: Will Aunt Victoria ever hurt us again Mom?
Clara: No baby, she will never get close to you ever again.
