The large mansion felt quiet and calm once again.
Julian walked over to Clara with tears shining in his eyes.
Julian: How can I ever thank you for saving my son?
Clara: I was just doing what was right for little Leo.
Julian: You risked your own safety and job to expose her.
Clara: A baby deserves love, not cruel treatment for money.
Julian reached out and gently patted Leo's soft back.
The baby giggled happily and reached his tiny hand toward his father.
Julian: From today on, you are not just our nanny, Clara.
Clara: What do you mean, Mr. Sterling?
Julian: I want to hire you as the head manager of this home.
Clara gasped softly in total surprise and joy.
Julian: You will get a full salary, health insurance, and paid vacation.
Clara: Oh, Mr. Sterling, that will pay for my mother's surgery!
Julian: Your mother can stay here in the guest house to recover.
Tears of pure happiness rolled down Clara's warm cheeks.
She had started the day afraid of losing her humble job.
Now she had secured safety for both her mother and baby Leo.
Julian smiled warmly as he held his son in his arms.
Julian: Justice was served today because you were so brave.
Clara: Love always wins over greed in the end, sir.
They walked toward the sunlit courtyard together into the bright afternoon.
