An ambulance arrived minutes later to examine Eleanor's heart and lungs thoroughly.
The paramedics confirmed that Eleanor was shaken up but sustained no permanent damage.
Julian stayed right by her side as they moved into the warm living room indoors.
The estate lawyer, Mr. Vance, arrived an hour later carrying a black leather briefcase.
He had spent the last hour reviewing the new documents Victoria had filed electronically.
Mr. Vance: She attempted to transfer the deed of the house into her corporate account.
Julian: Was she able to complete the fraudulent transfer before we stopped her?
Mr. Vance: No, because your mother's signature was forced under clear emotional distress.
Eleanor held Julian's hand tightly, tears of gratitude welling up in her soft eyes.
Eleanor: I thought she was helping me, but she was stealing my entire life.
Julian: She took advantage of your kindness, but justice will finally be served.
Mr. Vance pulled out the official revocation papers for Eleanor to sign legally.
The fraudulent power of attorney was instantly canceled and erased from all county records.
Julian looked out the high window at the peaceful swimming pool in the backyard.
The bright Texas sun was reflecting off the calm water once again in silence.
The evil attempt to take their family legacy had failed because of Julian's action.
The law firm promised to press full criminal charges against Victoria for her crimes.
She would face years in state prison for attempted murder and real estate fraud.
Eleanor took a deep breath of relief, leaning back against the soft sofa cushions.
