The housekeeper suddenly pointed toward the mansion.
Her voice shook with panic.
"They must never reach the lawyers!"
Guests stared in confusion.
One of Daniel's attorneys hurried outside carrying a leather legal folder that had been removed from the family's private study.
Inside was a document clearly marked:
Testament.
The estate owner had recently updated the family's will.
According to the document, Emma had been named one of the legal beneficiaries of the family inheritance.
If anything happened to her, the distribution of the estate would change dramatically.
The shocking discovery explained why tensions within the household had been growing for weeks.
Several relatives immediately stepped back, realizing the matter now required legal investigation rather than private arguments.
Security personnel secured the document while emergency responders examined Emma to ensure she had fully recovered after being pulled from the pool.
Witnesses voluntarily remained at the estate to provide statements about everything they had observed before and after the rescue.
Daniel stayed beside Emma the entire evening.
Holding her hand, he quietly promised,
"No document is worth more than your life."
Emma squeezed his hand tightly.
For Daniel, the inheritance no longer mattered.
Only one thing did.
His daughter was alive.
Because fortunes can always be divided.
But a child's life...
Can never be replaced.
