Within ten minutes, the sharp sounds of police sirens echoed down the long private driveway.
Two uniformed police officers walked quickly through the open front doors into the main dining room.
Officer: We received an urgent call regarding a personal safety threat at this address.
Arthur: Thank you for arriving so quickly, officers, please come inside right now.
Arthur showed the police officers the clear video recording saved on Elena's smartphone screen.
The lead officer examined the video clip carefully and nodded his head in complete understanding.
Officer: This video provides clear visual evidence of a serious crime being committed here.
The second officer stepped forward and asked Victoria to present her personal hand purse.
Inside the side zipper pocket, the officer discovered the small glass bottle with residue remaining.
Officer: Ma'am, you are under arrest for attempted harm and illegal chemical possession.
Victoria began to scream and protest loudly as the officer placed metal handcuffs on her wrists.
Victoria: You are making a huge mistake, my lawyer will file a massive lawsuit tomorrow!
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can be used against you.
The officers led Victoria slowly out of the mansion toward the waiting police car outside.
She glanced back at Arthur one last time with a look of heavy bitter defeat.
Arthur watched her leave through the front door and felt a deep sense of relief.
The dangerous plot against his life had been stopped before any damage was done.
He turned his attention back to Elena, who was quietly standing near the shattered glass.
He realized that without her brave intervention, he might not be alive today.
