Elena stood near the office window and watched Victoria's luxury sports car speed down the driveway.
The iron gates swung shut behind the vehicle, locking the malicious stepmother out forever now.
Arthur sank into his leather office chair, rubbing his temples with deep exhaustion and sorrow.
Arthur: I made a terrible mistake bringing that woman into my son's life, Elena.
Elena: She hid her true character very well until the legal papers were finalized, sir.
Arthur: I should have listened to the warnings my sister gave me three months ago.
Elena poured a glass of cold water and placed it gently on Arthur's desk surface.
She had worked for wealthy families before, but she had never seen such extreme greed.
Arthur opened a locked drawer in his desk and pulled out a blue folder document stack.
It contained the original terms of his late wife's life insurance policy and family trust account.
Arthur: Victoria found out about this five-million-dollar trust fund two weeks ago in my study.
Elena: Was that why she suddenly insisted on taking care of Leo by herself yesterday?
Arthur: She wanted to become the sole legal guardian in case anything ever happened to me.
Elena shuddered as the full extent of Victoria's dark plan became completely clear to her.
Victoria had planned to framed Elena for gross negligence to remove her from the house first.
Once Elena was gone, Victoria would have had complete control over the child and his inheritance.
The front doorbell rang loudly, breaking the heavy silence that had settled inside the room.
Arthur walked to the foyer door and opened it to reveal two uniformed police officers standing outside.
Officer Miller: Mr. Sterling, we received an emergency report regarding a domestic incident at this address.
Arthur: Please step inside, officers, I have video evidence that I need to hand over immediately.
The officers walked into the grand foyer while pulling out their official police notebook pads.
Arthur handed them the encrypted flash drive containing the clear security camera video files.
Arthur: My former spouse attempted to endanger my infant son and frame our housekeeper today.
Officer Miller: We will review this footage right now in our patrol car and issue an warrant.
Elena felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders as the law finally took action.
