The security guards escorted Victoria out through the grand entrance.
Her loud crying faded away as the heavy doors closed shut.
The foyer became peaceful and quiet for the very first time.
Richard turned to Elena with a warm and respectful smile.
Richard: I am deeply sorry for how you were treated here.
Elena: Thank you for standing up for me today, Mr. Vance.
Richard: Please, call me Richard, we are equal partners now.
Elena looked down at her simple maid apron and smiled softly.
She took off the apron and placed it on the chair.
She felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders instantly.
Richard: Tomorrow, we will visit the bank to transfer your trust fund.
Elena: I want to use part of it to help other workers.
Richard: That is a noble goal, and I will help you do it.
They walked together toward the main office room down the hall.
The mansion felt warm and bright under the golden afternoon light.
Elena knew her life would never be full of pain again.
She had reclaimed her true name and her rightful family heritage.
Cruelty had lost its grip on the Vance mansion forever now.
Elena: Justice really does find its way in the end.
Richard: Yes, it always does, Elena... always.
