Three months passed quickly at the beautiful Sterling estate under the bright summer sun.
The old outdoor pool was glowing brightly under the clear blue weekend sky.
Julian was walking smoothly on his own two feet without his heavy white leg cast.
He sat at the wooden patio table enjoying a fresh cold drink with his father.
Elena walked out onto the tiled patio holding a tray of fresh iced tea.
She wore a fine dark suit as the official head manager of the entire property.
Julian: Thanks for the refreshing tea, Elena. Everything looks incredible out here today.
Elena: It is my total pleasure to see you walking so well again, Julian.
Arthur: The security system has been completely upgraded across the entire estate boundary wall.
Arthur: Nobody will ever threaten this family or our home ever again.
A news report played softly on the small outdoor television mounted near the wall.
The reporter announced that Victoria had been sentenced to ten full years in prison.
She would receive no inheritance, no trust money, and no settlement of any kind.
Julian watched the news report for a brief second before turning the TV screen off.
Julian: Truth always finds a way to come out into the open light.
Elena: Evil plans never last when good people stand up and speak out loud.
Arthur raised his glass of iced tea high in the air with a warm smile.
Arthur: To family, to honesty, and to our brave new friend who saved us all.
They clinked their glasses together as the warm sun shone brightly over the water.
The pool was calm and clear, reflecting a peaceful future built on absolute truth.
