An hour passed before two police officers entered the bright mansion foyer.
Ethan stood near the grand staircase holding the original adoption files tight.
Clara was brought down the stairs by one of the house guards.
Her dark green dress was wrinkled and her hair looked messy now.
She gasped loudly as she saw the two uniformed officers standing ready.
Clara: Ethan, you cannot do this awful thing to your sister!
Ethan: You broke the law when you forged my dead brother's signature.
Clara: I am a full owner of this family house and estate!
Ethan: Not anymore after what the legal investigation revealed today, Clara.
The lead police officer stepped forward holding a pair of metal handcuffs.
Officer: Clara Vance, you are under arrest for document fraud and theft.
Clara: Get your hands off me right now, I am innocent!
Elena stood near the hallway doorway holding the sleeping baby close.
Clara glared at Elena with intense hatred as the officer turned her around.
Clara: You ruined my entire life, you meaningless little servant girl!
Ethan: Do not speak another sharp word to her in this house.
Officer: You have the right to remain completely silent during your arrest.
The second officer led Clara through the large double front doors slowly.
Her sharp heels dragged across the polished white marble entrance floor.
The heavy doors closed shut behind them with a deep solid sound.
Ethan closed his eyes for a short moment to calm his mind.
He looked over at Elena with a soft expression of deep relief.
Ethan: The dark storm in this house is finally over now, Elena.
Elena: I am just glad the child is completely safe from harm.
Ethan: You proved your absolute loyalty to this family when it mattered.
Elena: I promised your late brother I would always watch over him.
Ethan stepped closer to Elena and looked down at his young nephew.
Ethan: From this day on, you are more than just a house worker.
