Victoria hurried out of the mansion while crying bitter tears of anger and humiliation.
Ethan took little baby Sophia into his arms and held her safe and warm.
The next morning, Ethan called his primary estate lawyer into his quiet private office.
A distinguished older man named Arthur sat down across from Ethan's large desk.
Arthur: I brought all the paperwork regarding your late father's final trust fund.
Ethan: Is there something in the legal document that I missed before?
Arthur: Your wife asked me strange questions about the baby last month.
Ethan leaned forward on his desk while his heart started beating very fast.
Ethan: What kind of legal questions did Victoria ask you, Arthur?
Arthur: She wanted to know who inherits the money if Sophia passes away.
Ethan felt a sharp wave of anger wash over his whole body immediately.
The legal document stated that five million dollars went directly to Victoria upon Sophia's death.
His late father had added that bad clause to the legal papers years ago.
Victoria had married him only to get her hands on that giant fortune.
She never cared about being a loving mother or a good loyal wife.
Ethan realized that his child was never safe near that ruthless gold digger.
He signed the formal divorce papers immediately without waiting another single minute.
He also ordered his lawyer to file a full criminal report with local law enforcement.
Ethan: She will never get a single penny from my family trust fund.
Arthur: We can strip her of all spousal inheritance rights today.
Ethan: Make sure she faces full legal consequences for her actions.
Arthur nodded his head firmly and gathered all the official legal documents off the desk.
Ethan walked over to the tall glass window and looked out at the ocean.
He felt stupid for trusting a woman who was so evil inside her heart.
He promised himself that he would protect his young daughter for the rest of his life.
No amount of money was worth more than the safety of his precious child.
He called Elena into the room so he could express his deep gratitude to her.
