Within thirty minutes, three police cars lined the driveway of the massive stone estate nearby.
Sarah walked alongside Officer Miller up the grand marble stairs leading to the front door.
She demanded to look Richard in the eyes after what his selfish greed almost caused.
The heavy oak doors opened, revealing Richard Vance standing in a dark silk suit.
He looked surprised to see Sarah standing alive beside two armed county police officers.
Richard: What is the meaning of this unannounced intrusion on my estate?
Officer Miller: Richard Vance, you are under arrest for reckless endangerment and obstruction.
Richard: You cannot arrest me on my own private property, Miller!
Sarah: Your fence was cut with heavy wire cutters, Richard!
Richard's face paled as he looked down at the iron chain piece in Miller's hand.
Richard: That animal belonged to my private collection, it simply escaped!
Officer Miller: We found bolt cutters with your head handler's fingerprints on them.
The head handler was already sitting in the back of a police car down below.
He had confessed to cutting the fence under direct orders from his wealthy employer.
Richard stepped back as the deputy placed heavy steel handcuffs around his wrists tightly.
Richard: My high-priced lawyers will have this dismissed by tomorrow morning!
Sarah: Your money cannot hide the truth from the judge this time, Richard.
Officer Miller: You are facing multiple felony charges and long prison time, sir.
The officers led the arrogant billionaire down the marble steps toward the waiting car.
Neighbors gathered along the sidewalk, watching the powerful tycoon get taken into custody.
Sarah stood tall on the driveway, feeling a profound sense of relief wash over.
She knew that her long struggle against her late husband's family was finally over.
She walked back down the hill toward her humble house where Leo was safe.
