Arthur carried Toby out into the bright living room and placed him gently on the comfortable sofa.
Emily brought her brother a warm glass of fresh milk and a plate of fresh fruit instantly.
Arthur stood near the fireplace mantle and pulled out his smartphone to call his legal attorney immediately.
Arthur: Counsel, I need you here immediately.
Arthur: Cancel my wife's access to all family bank accounts and trust funds starting right now.
Victoria stood near the foyer archway, her bright dress sparkling under the large crystal chandelier light above.
Victoria: You cannot do that to me, Arthur!
Victoria: I am your legal wife and I have rights to this family trust fund estate!
Arthur smiled coldly as he pulled a thick set of legal documents from his jacket pocket inside.
Arthur: You thought I left those documents unsigned when I went on my trip three days ago.
Arthur: I discovered your secret offshore accounts yesterday before I flew back home to my family.
Victoria's eyes widened in sheer panic as she realized her hidden financial crimes were fully known now.
She had planned to use the locked room to force Arthur into signing over the full inheritance rights.
She wanted millions of dollars transferred into her private bank accounts before fleeing the country forever today.
Victoria: Arthur, please, we can talk about this!
Victoria: I only wanted what was fair for my future with you in this giant home!
Emily: You locked my brother in the dark!
Emily: You tried to starve him just for money!
Arthur walked over to his daughter and placed a gentle hand on her delicate little shoulder today.
Arthur: She will never touch either of you ever again, my brave girl, I promise you both.
The sound of loud police sirens echoed down the quiet suburban street outside the large front windows.
Arthur had alerted the local police department the very second he realized what happened in his house.
Victoria turned around frantically toward the front door, looking for any possible route of escape right now.
Two uniform police officers stepped through the front entrance, their heavy boots thudding firmly on wood.
Officer: Victoria Vance, stay where you are!
Officer: You are under arrest for child endangerment and financial fraud against this family estate!
Victoria tried to pull away, but the strong officer placed shiny iron handcuffs firmly around her wrists.
Her face twisted in bitter anger as she was led out the grand front doors into daylight.
