Within twenty minutes, police officers and emergency medical staff arrived at the mansion.
The doctors checked Clara carefully to ensure she had no broken bones or injuries.
Police officers interviewed Mark and Clara about what had happened on the balcony.
Mark handed over the indoor security camera footage recorded by the mansion cameras.
The clear video footage showed Eleanor snipping the pearl necklace and shoving Clara back.
The officers moved up the grand staircase to place Eleanor under formal arrest.
Eleanor: You cannot arrest me, I own this huge mansion and estate!
Officer: Madam, the video evidence clearly shows you committed a serious assault.
Eleanor: I was trying to protect my family from a greedy fraud!
Mark: The only person destroying this family is you, Grandmother.
As Eleanor was led away in handcuffs, a private investigator arrived at door.
The private investigator had been hired by Eleanor weeks ago to research Clara's past.
He carried a heavy manila folder filled with official legal documents and family records.
The investigator looked around the room filled with scattered pearls and police officers.
Investigator: I have the final DNA results and family court records here.
Mark: What records are you talking about right now, sir?
Investigator: Mrs. Sterling wanted me to prove Clara was an absolute stranger.
Clara: I never lied about who my late parents were to anyone.
The investigator opened the folder and handed a clean white document to Mark.
Mark read the top lines carefully and his eyes widened in complete disbelief.
The document revealed that Clara was actually the biological granddaughter of Eleanor's brother.
Her grandfather had been unfairly cheated out of his rightful inheritance decades ago.
Clara was not a random outsider trying to take money from the family estate.
She was actually a legitimate heir to a massive portion of the family wealth.
The original pearl necklace Eleanor cut was actually left to Clara's real grandmother.
Mark looked at Eleanor in shock as the truth finally came out into daylight.
