Carter remembered how Chloe first joined their wealthy family three years ago.
She seemed like a sweet woman who cared about the family business.
His father had passed away, leaving a huge inheritance and trust fund behind.
Mrs. Bennett controlled the vast fortune until her own sudden passing day.
Chloe wanted that money more than anything else in the whole world.
She slowly separated Mrs. Bennett from her friends and loyal house staff.
Only one faithful maid stayed behind to care for the elderly woman.
Chloe locked the maid in a dark basement room earlier that morning.
She wanted no witnesses when she finally carried out her dark deed.
The maid managed to break a small window and crawl out safely.
She snatched the note from Chloe’s dress jacket right before escaping outside.
Now Carter stood in the middle of the foyer holding the truth.
His heart hammered hard against his ribs as fury filled his mind.
He stared up at Chloe, who remained motionless on the high balcony.
Carter: How could you do this to my family?
Chloe: You don't know the whole story, Carter!
Carter: The letter explains everything clearly!
Chloe: That maid is lying to you!
Carter: She has written proof right here!
Chloe: It means absolutely nothing!
The masked man standing near the doorway pulled out official legal papers.
He was not an attacker, but an investigator hired by the estate law firm.
He had been tracking Chloe’s suspicious financial moves for several long months.
The law firm suspected Chloe was forging signatures on important legal documents.
She had tried to order a quick cremation to cover her tracks.
Without a body, no medical examiner could prove any physical foul play.
The investigator stepped closer to Mrs. Bennett to offer immediate medical assistance.
He checked her neck and noticed a soft, steady pulse beating there.
Mrs. Bennett was still breathing despite the terrible fall down the stairs.
Carter felt a sudden drop of relief wash over his entire body.
He knelt beside his grandmother and took her cold hand softly now.
Carter: Stay with me, Grandma!
Maid: Call an ambulance right now!
Carter: I am dialing emergency services!
Chloe: Stop touching her right now!
Carter: You stay right where you are!
Chloe turned around quickly, planning to run toward the back exit.
She knew her life of luxury was coming to an abrupt end.
