Arthur walked over to Elena, who was standing quietly near the edge of the hallway.
He looked at the bruise on her face with deep regret and gratitude in his eyes.
Arthur: You saved my son today, Elena.
Arthur: I cannot imagine what would have happened if you hadn't spoken up against her.
Elena offered a small, gentle smile despite the pain in her swollen cheek.
Elena: I only did what was right for little Leo, sir. He deserves to be safe here.
Arthur took out his phone and made a quick call to his private doctor to check on Elena.
He then looked at her with total respect, making a decision that would change her life forever.
Arthur: You will no longer be working as a maid in this house, Elena.
Elena looked down at the floor, her heart dropping as she thought she was being let go.
Elena: Sir? Are you firing me?
Arthur: No, absolutely not. I am promoting you to head guardian of my son.
Arthur: You will oversee his daily care, and your salary will reflect your true value to this family.
Arthur: I am setting up a trust fund account for your own family as a reward for your honesty.
Elena pressed her hands over her mouth as fresh tears of pure relief filled her eyes.
She had risked everything she had to protect a child who was not even hers.
Now, justice had been served, and the dark shadow over the estate was finally gone for good.
The nanny brought little Leo back into the hallway, setting him down safely on the floor.
The toddler crawled happily toward his father, reaching up to be held once again.
Arthur picked up his son and held him tight, feeling a deep sense of peace return to his heart.
The house was no longer a place of fear, but a place where truth and safety belonged.
