The next morning the bright sunshine streamed through the large front windows.
Arthur called an urgent family meeting at the luxury mansion estate.
Victoria arrived wearing an expensive dark dress and heavy gold jewelry.
She walked into the living room carrying an air of total authority.
Victoria: Arthur dear, why did you call me here so early?
Arthur: We need to sign the final papers for the boys' trust fund.
Victoria smiled smoothly and walked toward the shiny glass coffee table.
She picked up a black fountain pen from her designer leather handbag.
Victoria: It is for the best that we place them in care.
Victoria: They are quiet and broken children who need specialized help.
Arthur: Are you sure there is no hope for them Victoria?
Victoria: The doctors said they will never speak or develop normally Arthur.
Arthur walked toward the double doors leading into the hallway area.
He pulled the doors open wide to reveal Clara standing right outside.
Clara was not wearing her maid uniform, but a simple elegant dress.
Victoria stopped in her tracks and dropped her black fountain pen.
Her face turned completely pale as she stared at Clara's face.
Victoria: What is this nonsense?
Victoria: Why is the hired help standing there dressed like that?
Arthur: She is not hired help Victoria.
Arthur: This is Clara, Eleanor's twin sister.
Victoria took a quick step back while adjusting her heavy gold necklace.
She tried to regain her calm demeanor despite her rising panic.
Victoria: Eleanor had no sister.
Victoria: This woman is an imposter trying to steal your wealth Arthur.
Clara: You know exactly who I am Victoria.
Clara: You paid my foster family to keep me away from Eleanor.
Clara: You stole her trust fund money before she even met Arthur.
Victoria laughed loudly, but her voice sounded nervous and very sharp.
Victoria: You have no proof of these crazy lies!
Arthur stepped forward and placed a thick stack of legal documents down.
A team of private investigators had worked through the night uncovering bank records.
Arthur: We found the offshore bank accounts Victoria.
Arthur: You drained millions from Eleanor's life insurance policy over three years.
Arthur: And you tried to lock my sons away to cover it.
Victoria looked toward the front entrance of the mansion with quick eyes.
Two uniformed police officers walked into the foyer with serious expressions.
Victoria: Arthur, please, we can talk about this like family!
Arthur: You were never family to Eleanor, and you are nothing to us.
Officer: Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for fraud and embezzlement.
The officers placed heavy handcuffs around Victoria's wrists before leading her away.
She screamed angry words until the front doors slammed shut tightly.
Arthur turned to Clara with a look of immense relief and peace.
Arthur: She will never hurt these boys ever again.
