General Carter guided Sarah into his private office located at the end of the long hallway.
He closed the heavy oak door behind them to ensure no other personnel could interrupt them.
He offered her a leather chair beside his large desk covered in important military work documents.
Sarah sat down slowly while holding both silver coins safely inside her small gentle hands.
General: My current family does not know anything about my past relationship with your mother.
Sarah: Will this cause trouble for your legal estate and current marriage status, general?
General: I do not care about money or public status when it comes to my daughter.
He explained that his cold wife Victoria cared deeply about high social standing and wealth.
Victoria managed the family trust fund and had spent years protecting their high social reputation.
She would view Sarah's sudden arrival as a serious threat to her family inheritance structure.
The general knew a difficult legal and emotional battle was about to begin very soon now.
He pulled out his private mobile phone to call his personal legal team right away.
He wanted to update his official last will and testament to include Sarah as an heir.
General: I will ensure you receive your rightful share of my military pension and estate.
Sarah: I do not want your money, father, I only wanted to know my real dad.
The general smiled warmly as tears welled up in his tired grey eyes once again.
He admired her strong character and clear honesty, seeing her mother's pure spirit in her.
Suddenly the heavy office door swung open wide, revealing a sharp looking woman in luxury clothes.
Victoria Carter stepped into the room with an angry expression fixed upon her pale face.
She looked down at Captain Sarah Miller with cold suspicion in her sharp blue eyes.
Victoria: Who is this young officer and why are you weeping in your official office, Edward?
The tension in the quiet room skyrocketed instantly as the general stood up straight behind desk.
