Two uniformed police officers walked through the grand front doors of the home.
They walked straight into the dining room where the family was standing.
Officer: Are you Victoria Vance and Ricardo Myers?
Ricardo: Officer, this is a private civil matter regarding a family inheritance.
Marcus: It is a criminal matter involving extortion and illegal confinement.
Marcus handed the police officer a signed affidavit from Mrs. Higgins.
Officer: We have a witness statement confirming you locked Mrs. Elena Vance inside.
Victoria: That disgruntled former employee is lying to protect her job!
Elena: Look at the security camera logs from the hallway, Officer.
David walked over to the smart home control panel built into the dining wall.
He punched in his secure master code to pull up the recorded camera footage.
The screen clearly showed Ricardo locking Elena's bedroom door from the outside.
It also showed Victoria taking away Elena's medicine bottle from the bedside.
Officer: That is all the proof we need right here.
setup for theft, coercion, and unlawful restraint.
The officer pulled out silver handcuffs from his tactical leather belt.
Victoria: Keep your hands off me! I am the head of this mansion!
Officer: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
The police officer placed the metal cuffs around Victoria's wrists with a click.
The second officer stepped up and placed handcuffs on Ricardo as well.
Ricardo: You are making a huge mistake, Captain Vance!
David: The only mistake made here was you stepping into my home.
Elena held tight to David's arm as the officers led the two villains away.
Victoria glared back at them with pure bitter anger as she was led outside.
Victoria: You won't get a single penny from this estate, David!
Marcus: The court will freeze all your assets by tomorrow morning, Victoria.
The heavy front doors swung shut as the police car drove down the driveway.
The entire mansion became quiet and peaceful for the first time in months.
Elena: It is finally over, isn't it?
David: It is over, and nobody will ever hurt you again.
