Arthur stood up straight with a dark expression on his face.
He turned toward the stairs and marched up them with heavy steps.
Eleanor stood frozen at the top railing, her face pale as snow.
She backed away slowly as her son approached her with steady anger.
Arthur confronted his mother right against the grand white upper wall.
Arthur: You think you can get away with this, Eleanor?
Eleanor: It was an accident! She stepped too close to me!
Arthur: You pushed this family to the brink because of your greed!
Eleanor: I built this estate with your father before you were born!
Arthur: You destroyed his legacy the moment you threatened Clara today!
Clara: Arthur, please do not let this tear us apart even more!
Arthur: It is already broken, Clara. I am calling the divorce lawyer and legal team now.
Eleanor stared at him with bitter anger in her cold dark eyes.
She realized her total control over the mansion was slipping away fast.
The American flag hung quietly on the wall behind their intense standoff.
Arthur pulled out his phone to call the family estate attorney immediately.
He requested a full audit of every single trust fund account today.
He wanted to expose where the missing funds were secretly being transferred.
Eleanor tried to walk away toward her private rooms across the hall.
Arthur stepped in front of her to block her path completely.
He demanded answers about the documents signed behind his back last month.
Clara held her baby tightly while listening to the loud arguments above.
She never wanted the family money to cause such terrible destruction here.
All she wanted was a peaceful life away from this giant mansion.
Arthur vowed to protect her rights under his late father's final will.
He turned back to Eleanor with a firm look of complete determination.
The truth about the missing estate money was finally coming out today.
Eleanor lowered her head, realizing her power was completely gone now.
Arthur led everyone down to the main office to review the papers.
