Richard walked over to his desk near the side study room slowly.
He brought out a blue folder containing legal papers and financial records.
He had hired an investigator weeks ago due to missing funds recently.
Now everything made complete sense in his sharp business mind today.
Richard: Is this why you wanted Elena gone from the house, Victoria?
Victoria: I have no idea what those papers mean at all, Richard!
Richard: These are forged checks drawn from my daughter's trust fund account!
Victoria's weeping stopped instantly as her face turned completely frozen white.
She realized her financial crimes were now exposed alongside her cruelty.
Elena had signed the delivery packages for those bank notices last week.
Victoria needed Elena fired so no one would track the false signatures.
Elena: She asked me to burn those bank letters in the fireplace!
Richard: And you kept them safe instead, did you not, Elena?
Elena: I kept every single envelope inside my room for safety, sir.
Victoria stood up quickly, trying to run toward the back door hallway.
Richard picked up his phone and dialed his divorce lawyer right away.
He also called the local police department to report the grand theft.
Richard: Yes, officer, I need a unit at my estate immediately.
Victoria: Richard, please, we can work this out without the police!
Richard: You stole from a motherless child and tried framing an worker!
Lily looked at her father with proud eyes full of deep relief.
She knew her home was finally becoming safe again today after months.
Victoria backed up against the large wall near the hanging national flag.
She looked around the massive mansion that was no longer her home.
Her dream of endless wealth and power had collapsed completely into dust.
Richard stood tall near his daughter, shielding her from the greed.
The sound of approaching police sirens echoed lightly from the main road.
Victoria buried her face in her hands and began to sob real tears.
This time her sorrow was real because her consequences had arrived today.
