Clara slowly stood up from the floor while gathering what remained of her pride.
Her silk dress was wrinkled and stained from the messy fall.
She looked at Elena with absolute hatred burning in her dark eyes.
Clara: You ruined everything for me, you simple little maid!
Elena: I saved an innocent life from a heartless person today.
Arthur stepped in front of Elena to shield her from Clara's gaze.
Arthur: Do not speak another word to anyone in this house.
Arthur: My estate lawyer will contact you regarding the prenuptial agreement.
Arthur: You will not receive a single dollar from my family trust fund.
Clara gasped as she realized she was losing everything she had planned for.
She had married Arthur only for his massive inheritance and grand estate.
Now she was leaving with nothing except the clothes on her back.
Two estate security guards stepped into the foyer through the main entrance.
Arthur signaled them to remove Clara from the premises immediately.
Arthur: Escort this woman off my property and ensure she never returns.
Guard: Yes sir, right away.
The guards firmly grabbed Clara by the arms and led her outside.
Clara screamed threats as she was dragged down the long stone driveway.
The heavy front doors slammed shut behind her with a final boom.
The massive house suddenly became quiet and peaceful once again.
Arthur turned to Elena with tears forming in his tired eyes.
He realized how close he came to losing his precious little girl.
He walked over to the brave maid who had saved his family.
