Arthur pulled Elena gently to her feet and held her trembling hands tightly.
Elena looked into the face of the man who claimed to be her father.
Elena: How did I end up at an orphanage if I belonged here?
Arthur: You were stolen from your nursery twenty years ago by an unknown intruder.
Carter: This whole conversation is absurd and lacks any real legal proof!
Arthur: The legal proof is written right here on this gold medallion!
Carter: Anyone could have forged that crest to trick you out of your wealth!
Arthur: Why would she work as a simple housekeeper if she knew the truth?
Carter turned his back to the window and crossed his arms tight in anger.
He had spent the last decade positioning himself as the sole heir.
If Victoria were truly alive, his entire claim to the estate vanished instantly.
Carter: I demand a full DNA test before you give her anything!
Arthur: We will do a DNA test right now to clear every doubt.
Elena: I don't care about money... I just wanted to know who I was.
Arthur: You are a Sterling, my dear, and you belong right here with me.
Arthur pointed his finger firmly toward his arrogant nephew across the room.
Arthur: If you show any more disrespect to my daughter, Carter, you leave.
Carter: You are letting an emotional lie blind your judgment, Uncle!
Arthur: I know my own blood line when I look into her eyes!
The guards backed away and stood at attention near the wide hallway entrance.
Carter knew he had to act fast to protect his corporate power position.
He reached into his jacket pocket to retrieve his private cell phone quickly.
Carter: I am calling our corporate lawyers to halt any change to the trust!
Arthur: Call whoever you want, but the legal truth will prevail today!
Elena felt a sudden wave of relief wash over her weary spirit.
For years she had wondered why she felt so lost in the world.
Now the mystery of her missing identity was finally coming to light.
