Arthur stood up quickly and turned his glare directly toward Victoria's direction.
Arthur: You knew about Clara all along, didn't you, Victoria?
Victoria froze in her steps and tried to look completely innocent before the guests.
Victoria: I have no idea what this crazy maid is talking about, Arthur.
Clara stood up carefully while holding Leo securely in her warm arms.
Clara: Victoria paid the lawyer to hide Ellen's true final estate papers.
She pulled a small folded letter from her deep uniform pocket and held it out.
Clara: This is the copy of the true custody document signed by Ellen.
Arthur took the paper from Clara's hand and read through the neat handwriting.
It clearly stated that Clara was appointed as guardian alongside Arthur for Leo.
It also showed that Victoria had tried to take full control of the trust fund.
Arthur: You tried to separate my son from his real family for money!
Victoria backed up further as guests began whispering angrily around her path.
Victoria: You cannot prove any of these wild accusations against me tonight!
Arthur: The police and my lawyers will review these original papers tomorrow morning.
Two security guards stepped up behind Victoria and blocked her exit path completely.
She realized her plan to take the family wealth had failed entirely now.
Arthur turned back toward Clara with deep respect and emotional gratitude in his eyes.
Arthur: I am so sorry for not recognizing you sooner, Clara.
