The next afternoon, Arthur invited his family attorney to the mansion office.
Mr. Vance sat across the grand desk, reviewing the estate files thoroughly.
He looked over at Elena, who was standing quietly near the main doorway.
Mr. Vance: Miss Elena, is your father's name by chance David Vance's old partner?
Elena nodded her head gently as a soft smile formed on her face.
Elena: Yes, my father was Richard Roberts before his company closed down unexpectedly.
Arthur looked up from his desk in complete disbelief at the sudden news.
Richard Roberts had been a legendary lawyer known for helping honest working families.
Arthur: Why did you take a job as a housekeeper in my home?
Elena: After my father passed, my family lost everything to unfair debt collectors.
Elena: I needed honest work immediately to support my younger brother's school fees.
Arthur felt a surge of respect for the proud young woman standing before him.
She had never asked for charity or complained about her difficult situation once.
Arthur: Your father was a man of great honor who helped many people.
Mr. Vance: He certainly was, and his daughter carries that exact same strong spirit.
Mr. Vance explained that Julian's legal documents were completely fraudulent and illegal.
The court would likely issue a restraining order against Julian to protect them.
Arthur: We will file a lawsuit against Julian for fraud and attempted deception.
Liam walked into the room holding his sister's hand with a bright smile.
Liam: Dad, can Elena stay with us as our permanent family manager now?
Arthur looked at Elena with genuine warmth and deep respect in his heart.
Arthur: If she accepts, she will never clean another floor in this home again.
