Two police officers walked into the grand ballroom through the front doors.
Arthur had called the local sheriff earlier that morning before any guests had arrived.
He handed a thick manila folder directly to the senior officer on duty.
The folder contained clear bank statements proving Victoria had stolen millions from the estate trust.
Victoria backed away slowly toward the large white columns of the mansion.
She looked around the room, but none of her wealthy friends would make eye contact.
The officer read through the financial papers quickly and nodded his head.
He stepped over to Victoria and instructed her to put her hands behind her back.
She began crying hysterically, screaming that Arthur was a monster for setting her up.
The crowd watched in awe as the officers escorted the wife out the front entrance.
Arthur stood tall in the middle of the room, feeling the heavy burden lift off his shoulders.
He looked over at Sarah, who was standing quietly near the edge of the crowd.
He asked the maid to step into his private office down the hall.
Sarah followed him nervously, wondering what would happen to her job now.
Arthur sat behind his massive mahogany desk, feeling like the owner of his life once again.
He told Sarah that her honesty over the past three weeks had saved his business.
She had refused to take bribes from Victoria to drug his evening tea.
Arthur offered her a permanent position as the chief administrator of his charitable foundation.
Sarah covered her face with her hands, overwhelmed by the incredible news.
She accepted the job offer immediately with a joyful smile on her face.
