Within fifteen minutes, two police cruisers pulled up to the front driveway of the estate.
Red and blue emergency lights flashed against the large stone pillars of the mansion.
Officers walked inside the foyer and reviewed the clear video recording on the monitor.
They placed metal handcuffs tightly around Victoria's wrists behind her gold dress.
Officer: You are under arrest for attempted endangerment and fraud investigation.
Victoria: You cannot arrest me in my own home!
Victoria: My family lawyer will have this entire case dismissed by tomorrow morning!
Officer: The video evidence speaks for itself, ma'am.
As the officers led Victoria away, a detective stepped into the room holding a briefcase.
He had searched Victoria's office room upstairs following a tip from the legal team.
Detective: Mr. Richard, we found forged estate documents hidden inside her desk safe.
Richard: What kind of forged legal documents?
Detective: She was planning to alter your life insurance and trust fund beneficiary paperwork.
Detective: If anything happened to Leo, she would have inherited the entire fortune immediately.
Richard sat down heavily on the couch, shaking his head in absolute disgust.
He realized that his entire marriage had been a cold, calculated setup from the start.
Victoria had never cared about him or his family; she only wanted his money.
Clara stood near the doorway, holding a warm dry blanket around the sleeping baby.
Richard looked up at the young maid with deep gratitude in his dark eyes.
Richard: You risked your own life to save my son today, Clara.
Clara: I could never stand by and watch a child in danger, sir.
Richard: A simple thank you will never be enough for what you did.
