Victoria's face flushed red with intense rising fury now.
She realized her grand lifestyle was ending in complete ruin.
She stomped her foot against the expensive high hardwood floor.
Victoria: I will sue you for every dime you possess!
Arthur: My corporate lawyers are already filing the paperwork.
Victoria: You have no concrete proof against my actions!
Arthur: The police have the bank records right now.
Victoria's eyes opened wide with deep sudden panic fear.
She had not anticipated Arthur acting so swiftly today.
She grabbed her designer purse from the balcony lounge table.
Arthur followed her closely, ensuring she took no house property.
She tried to snatch a diamond necklace from the dresser.
Arthur grabbed her wrist firmly and made her release it.
Arthur: That belongs to the estate fund, leave it!
Victoria: You are a cold cruel man, Arthur Sterling!
Arthur: You targeted my daughter, you get no mercy!
Victoria pulled her arm back with a sharp dramatic huff.
She marched down the grand marble staircase in her gown.
Her high heels clicked loudly against the polished white stone.
At the bottom floor, two police officers entered the house.
The private investigator walked in right behind the officers.
Victoria stopped dead in her tracks on the lower step.
Her breath hitched as she saw the official blue uniforms.
Officer: Victoria Miller, you are under formal arrest today.
Victoria: On what possible grounds are you arresting me?
Officer: Grand larceny, wire fraud, and forged estate documents.
Victoria: This is a massive misunderstanding between spouses!
Arthur: Tell that to the judge during your trial.
The police officer placed heavy steel handcuffs around her wrists.
Victoria tried to pull away, screeching in loud outrage.
Her glamorous gold gown looked utterly ridiculous in hand restraints.
The officers escorted her out through the massive front doors.
Arthur stood at the doorway watching her get placed away.
The quiet surroundings of his peaceful estate finally returned now.
He felt the heavy weight lift off his shoulders completely.
Yet he knew there was still much repair work ahead.
He needed to secure his daughter's future from legal threats.
He called his lead probate attorney on the phone immediately.
Arthur: Draft a full revocation of all her access.
Lawyer: We will freeze every linked account within the hour.
Arthur: Ensure the trust fund is completely locked away forever.
Lawyer: Consider it done, Mr. Sterling, rest easy.
Arthur ended the call and walked out toward the garden.
He needed to check on little Lily at the cottage.
The warm sunlight washed over the lush green manicured lawn.
He saw his daughter sitting on the porch bench safely.
She was holding her favorite teddy bear close to her.
Arthur walked over and knelt down on the soft grass.
Arthur: The scary noise is all gone now, sweetheart.
Lily: Is stepmom coming back to hurt us, Daddy?
Arthur: No, my sweet girl, she is gone forever.
