Victoria stood frozen on the marble floor as the lawyers took notes.
She had lost her monthly allowance and her position in the family.
Arthur: Marcus, escort Mrs. Sterling to her room to pack her bags.
Marcus: Right away, Mr. Sterling.
Victoria: You will regret this day, Arthur!
Arthur: The only regret here is that I trusted you for so long.
Marcus led a crying Victoria away down the long marble hallway.
Her loud complaints faded into the distance as the doors closed shut.
Arthur turned around to face Clara, who was wiping her eyes.
He walked over to her with a warm and respectful expression.
Arthur: Clara, I am deeply sorry for what you experienced today.
Clara: Thank you for checking the security footage, sir.
Arthur: You are a hardworking and honest person, Clara.
Arthur: You deserve far better than how you were treated today.
Arthur reached into his suit jacket and pulled out a fountain pen.
He signed a document on the side table near the tray.
Arthur: Starting today, you are promoted to house manager of this estate.
Clara: House manager? Sir, are you sure?
Arthur: Absolutely, and your salary will double immediately.
Clara smiled brightly as fresh tears of joy filled her eyes.
She had gone from facing false charges to securing her dream role.
Clara: I will do my best to manage everything properly, sir!
Arthur: I know you will, Clara, because honesty always wins here.
The sun shone brightly through the glass windows of the grand hall.
The estate felt peaceful and clean once again under honest leadership.
Clara stood tall and proud in her uniform, ready for her new future.
Justice had prevailed, and the truth had set her completely free.
