An hour had passed since Victoria was removed from the private gated estate.
The large mansion felt peaceful and quiet once again under the bright sky.
Ethan sat down on the leather sofa in his grand ground floor study.
He called his top divorce lawyer to initiate legal proceedings right away.
Lawyer: We will file the fast annulment papers before the day ends.
Ethan: Make sure she receives no money or property from my estate.
Lawyer: Her fraudulent actions in the nursery give us total legal victory.
Ethan: Thank you, please finish the paperwork as quickly as possible.
Ethan hung up the phone and looked out at the sunny green garden.
He felt a massive weight lift off his heavy tired shoulders today.
He realized how close he had come to losing everything that mattered.
Clara walked into the study carrying a tray with warm tea cups.
Baby Leo was sleeping peacefully in his small mobile stroller nearby.
Clara: Here is some warm tea to help you relax, Mr. Montgomery.
Ethan: Please sit down with me, Clara, we need to talk now.
Clara sat down on the soft armchair across from his mahogany desk.
Ethan: You saved my son from a cold and dangerous person today.
Ethan: I want to double your salary and give you permanent house equity.
Clara: That is way too much, sir, I was just doing my job.
Ethan: You did far more than a job, you acted like real family.
Clara smiled warmly as a small tear of happiness touched her cheek.
She had finally found a safe place where her honesty was truly valued.
Ethan looked at his sleeping son with deep love and quiet relief.
The bad memories were gone, and a bright sweet future was beginning.
