Austin snatched the second set of legal papers from the foyer table.
His hands shook as he read the original last will and testament.
His late father had left the entire Texas estate to him alone.
Clarissa had hidden the real paperwork inside a safe in the study.
Hannah had found it while cleaning the private office earlier that morning.
Austin: How long were you planning to keep this from me?
Clarissa: It does not matter, because we are getting married today!
Austin: There is not going to be any wedding today!
Clarissa gasped loudly as her eyes widened in complete horror.
She had spent months planning the most expensive ceremony in Texas.
The guests were already arriving at the local country club down the road.
Clarissa: You cannot cancel the ceremony over a piece of paper!
Austin: This isn't just paper, it is a massive legal fraud!
Austin pulled his phone from his velvet pocket without hesitation.
He dialed his family's corporate divorce lawyer immediately on speaker.
The line rang twice before the attorney answered from his office downtown.
Lawyer: Austin, is everything ready for the afternoon ceremony?
Austin: Cancel everything and freeze all the shared bank accounts now!
Clarissa: Austin, stop this right now before you ruin us!
Clarissa tried to reach for his phone, but Austin backed away fast.
He told the attorney to prepare fraud charges against his fiancée immediately.
The maid slowly rose to her feet, supporting herself against the wall.
She knew she had done the right thing by speaking up today.
The truth was finally out, and nobody could hide it anymore.
