Julian gently pushed the clipboard away from Evelyn's eager hands, refusing to let Clara sign anything.
Evelyn's face turned red with immediate anger as she slammed her hand against the terrace railing.
Evelyn: What do you think you are doing, driver? You signed the marriage certificate already!
Julian: Yes, I did. Which means Clara is now fully protected under marital property laws.
Evelyn: That trust fund defaults to me the moment she marries a low-income worker!
Julian: You should have read the full legal clauses in your late husband's estate paperwork.
Julian pulled a sealed white envelope from his inner jacket pocket and handed it to the judge.
The judge opened the envelope, scanning the official court documents inside with a surprised look.
Judge: This document is a verified financial disclosure from the state banking authority.
Evelyn: What financial disclosure? He is a simple car driver who earns minimum wage!
Julian: I am not just a driver, Evelyn. I owned the luxury transport company you hired.
Clara gasped in absolute shock, looking at her new husband with wide, disbelieving eyes.
She could not process the idea that the quiet man working on cars was wealthy.
Julian: I took the job here five months ago to investigate how you treated Mr. Vance.
Evelyn: That is impossible! You are lying to protect this worthless girl!
Julian: My private investigator proved you forged the final codicil to Mr. Vance's will.
The judge looked up from the official papers, his expression becoming stern and serious toward Evelyn.
Judge: Mrs. Vance, these documents show clear evidence of illegal fraud and document tampering.
Evelyn: This is my estate! You cannot come into my home and accuse me!
Julian: This was never your estate, Evelyn. It was left entirely to Clara in full.
Clara felt tears of relief finally stream down her cheeks as the truth echoed around.
She looked at Julian, seeing the strong, protective man who had fought for her justice.
Clara: Julian... you did all of this to help me save my father's legacy?
Julian: I did it because you deserve justice, and because I care about you deeply.
