The men in dark suits stepped carefully over the wet spots on the floor.
They were the senior partners from the city's top estate law firm.
The lead lawyer opened his leather briefcase and pulled out several legal documents.
He looked down at Victoria who was still sitting on the wet ground.
Lawyer: Victoria Vance, you are being served with an immediate eviction order.
Victoria: This is a mistake, I hold the title to this property!
Lawyer: The real will and estate documents have been verified by the state court.
Clara: You forged the signatures after my husband passed away years ago.
Victoria turned pale as the realization of her crimes finally sank in.
She knew that her legal fight was completely lost before it even started.
The court had already frozen all of the luxury bank accounts that morning.
Her credit cards were canceled and her car was scheduled for repossession.
Daniel: Pack your personal items right now and leave this property immediately.
Victoria: Where am I supposed to go on such short notice?
Daniel: That is no longer my concern or my mother's concern.
Victoria slowly stood up while soaking wet in her ruined gown.
She realized that none of her wealth or status could save her now.
She walked up the grand staircase with her head hanging down low.
The sound of her wet shoes echoed softly against the high ceilings.
Clara stood next to her son and let out a long breath of relief.
The years of hiding and pretending were finally over for good.
She looked around the grand hallway that belonged to her family once again.
