David pulled his arm gently but firmly away from Eleanor.
He pulled his cell phone out from his jacket pocket.
He dialed his family attorney Arthur Pendelton right away now.
The phone rang three times before the lawyer answered it.
David: Arthur, I need you at my house immediately today.
Arthur: David, what is wrong? You sound very shaken up.
David: My wife forged legal titles on the estate property.
Arthur: That is a grave matter, David. Is she there?
David: Yes, and she attempted to take my son away.
Arthur: Do not let her leave with the child, David.
David: Sarah stopped her before she could leave the driveway.
Arthur: I am on my way with emergency papers right now.
David hung up the phone and looked at Eleanor cold.
She was sitting on the bottom step of the staircase.
Her face was buried in her hands as she sobbed.
Eleanor: You are ruining my life over a financial mistake.
David: You ruined our trust by deceiving me for months.
Eleanor: I was trying to fix it before you found out.
David: By digging a deeper hole and stealing from Leo?
Eleanor looked up with red eyes and a bitter scowl.
Eleanor: That nanny set me up from the very beginning!
David: Sarah has been honest with me since day one.
Eleanor: She wanted you to catch me with those files!
David: Because she cares about my son's ultimate safety!
Sarah: Mr. Sterling, Leo is fast asleep in his crib.
Sarah walked quietly down the stairs holding a small bag.
Sarah: I found these other papers in the nursery closet.
David took the folder from Sarah's hands with gratitude now.
Inside were more unpaid bills and hidden luxury store receipts.
Eleanor had spent hundreds of thousands on expensive jewelry items.
David: You bought designer watches while claiming you were broke?
Eleanor: I thought I could resell them for profit later!
David: You lied about everything to cover your personal greed.
Eleanor: I hate you for doing this to me, David!
David: The front door is right behind you, Eleanor Sterling.
Eleanor: I will not leave without my luggage and car!
David: Take your personal car and leave the keys here.
Eleanor stood up slowly with fury in her whole face.
Eleanor: My lawyers will make sure you pay for this!
David: My lawyers will present these forged documents in court.
Eleanor turned around and grabbed her designer handbag quickly today.
She slammed the massive front door loudly behind her back.
