The police officers approached Julian and the security team quickly.
Julian handed his smartphone directly to the lead police officer now.
Police Officer: What exactly took place here tonight sir?
Julian: My bride poured a harmful liquid into my drink glass.
Police Officer: Do you have physical evidence of this happening sir?
Julian: The video shows everything clearly and the glass is untouched.
The officer watched the security footage on the bright phone screen.
He nodded slowly as he observed Victoria pouring the vial out.
Police Officer: Ma'am you need to come with us to the station.
Victoria: This is a massive misunderstanding I demand my lawyer now!
Police Officer: You have the right to remain silent ma'am.
The officer put metal handcuffs around Victoria's slender wrists behind her.
The quiet clicking sound echoed through the silent banquet room clearly.
Victoria cried louder as she was led toward the main doors.
Julian turned his body away from her and looked toward Clara.
The young maid was standing quietly near the edge of the crowd.
Julian walked straight over to Clara with a look of deep gratitude.
Julian: You saved my life tonight when no one else was watching.
Clara: I was just doing the right thing sir I am sorry.
Julian: You have nothing to apologize for Clara you are brave.
Clara: I could not let her get away with such crime.
Julian took a deep breath as he made a huge life decision.
He realized that true loyalty comes from honest heart and integrity.
He decided he would reward Clara for her immense courage tonight.
He reached into his pocket and pulled out his leather checkbook.
Julian: I want to hire you as my main estate manager today.
Clara: Sir I am just a hotel maid working for wage!
Julian: You showed more honesty than anyone in this entire room.
