Ten minutes passed quickly as two security guards arrived at the front door.
Julian had summoned them from the estate main gatehouse down the road.
Victoria stood near the glass staircase holding a single small brown suitcase.
Her yellow satin gown was wrinkled and her eyes were red from crying.
Julian: Escort my sister to the waiting yellow taxi at the front gate.
Security Guard: Yes, Mr. Sterling. Right this way, Miss Victoria please.
Victoria: Do not touch me! I can walk out by myself perfectly fine!
She glared at Julian with intense hatred before turning toward the open doorway.
As she stepped across the threshold, she looked back at the grand foyer.
The marble floor she had forced Elena to scrub was now being dried.
Another staff member was cleaning away the spilled purple grape juice stains completely.
Victoria realized her luxurious lifestyle in the mansion had officially ended today.
The security guards followed her closely down the wide stone front steps outside.
The heavy mahogany doors closed shut behind her with a definitive heavy sound.
A collective sigh of absolute relief echoed through the entire mansion staff.
Julian turned around and faced the gathered employees standing near the hall.
Julian: I deeply apologize for everything you all suffered while I was away.
Julian: From this moment on, cruelty will never be tolerated in this home.
Staff Member: Thank you so much, Master Julian! You saved us all today!
Julian walked up the grand staircase to check on Elena's current condition.
He knocked gently on the door of the warm second-floor guest suite.
Elena opened the door wearing clean cotton clothes and a warm sweater cardigan.
Her hair was dry and her face looked far brighter than before.
Elena: Mr. Julian... is your sister really gone from the house now?
Julian: Yes, Elena. She will not be returning here ever again today.
Elena: I do not know how to thank you for standing up for me.
Julian: You do not need to thank me for doing what is right.
Julian motioned for her to walk with him down the long hallway.
He pulled out an official document folder from his small briefcase folder.
Julian: I want to discuss your future employment status here at the estate.
Elena felt a sudden surge of worry return to her anxious beating heart.
She wondered if she was going to lose her job after the fight.
Julian: Do not look so worried, Elena. It is extremely good news.
