Two police officers walked through the open front doors into the quiet luxury home.
Arthur stood up to greet them while guiding Clara safely behind his tall frame.
Officer Harris: Sir, we received a distress call regarding mistreatment at this residence.
Arthur: I am Arthur Vance, owner of this estate, and I called you here.
Arthur pointed toward Victoria, who stood near the stairs shivering with nervous anxiety.
Arthur: My wife withheld identity documents and forced my long lost daughter into labor.
Victoria: That is a complete lie officer! She was just a paid household worker!
The second officer stepped forward and looked at Clara's red hands and visible marks.
Officer Davis: Ma'am, please step over here so we can take your official statement.
Victoria panicked and tried to hurry up the stairs toward her private master bedroom.
Officer Harris: Ma'am, stop right where you are and keep your hands visible now.
Officer Harris moved quickly up the lower steps and blocked Victoria from escaping upstairs.
He escorted her back down into the main hall where the evidence was clear.
Arthur called his head legal attorney on speakerphone right in front of everyone present.
Arthur: Cancel Victoria's access to all family accounts and credit lines instantly today.
Attorney Brooks: Understood Mr. Vance, I will execute the trust lock order right away.
Victoria gasped as she heard her lifestyle and security disappear within a few seconds.
Victoria: You cannot leave me with nothing after all these years of marriage!
Arthur: You chose cruelty over kindness, so you will face every legal consequence now.
The officers took down Clara's detailed account of her weeks spent working in secret.
They documented the unfair conditions and the locked documents Victoria had kept hidden away.
