An hour later, the police finished taking detailed statements from everyone.
The toxic cake mess was cleaned completely off the white floor.
The party guests slowly left the house after giving warm support.
David sat down with Maria in the quiet living room area.
He wanted to thank her for defending Lily during the panic.
Father: You stood by my daughter when I was angry.
Maid: She is a good child, Mr. Moretti, and spoke the truth.
David smiled and promised to give Maria a massive permanent bonus.
He also vowed to update every safety protocol across his entire estate.
No stranger would ever get close to his children ever again.
Ethan and Lily played happily together on the carpet with soft toys.
The danger had passed completely thanks to a child's brave heart.
David picked up his phone to call his main family lawyer.
He wanted to set up a secure trust fund for Lily's future.
She had proven how smart and watchful she truly was today.
Father: My daughter showed true bravery that saved our entire family.
He looked out the large glass windows into the bright sunny yard.
The sunlight washed over the home with warmth and peace once again.
He knew he would listen much closer to his children from now on.
Little Lily looked up from her toys and smiled at her father.
Lily: Daddy, can we eat ice cream instead of cake now?
David laughed out loud with pure emotional happiness and true joy.
Father: We can have all the ice cream you want today!
The small family shared a moment of deep, lasting love together.
