Victoria grabbed Mary by the arm and shoved her toward the large exit doors.
Mary stumbled backwards but managed to stay on her feet this time.
Mary: Julian is my baby boy! You knew all this time!
Victoria: Shut your mouth before I make sure you regret ever speaking!
Suddenly the heavy oak front doors flew open with incredible force.
Julian walked into the library accompanied by two men in dark suits.
His face was grim and his blue eyes were sharp with sudden cold anger.
Julian: Get away from her right now, Victoria!
Victoria froze instantly and let go of Mary's uniform sleeves.
She quickly changed her tone and put on a fake worried look.
Victoria: Julian, thank goodness you are home early, my love!
Victoria: This maid went crazy and started going through our private documents!
Julian ignored Victoria completely and walked directly over to Mary.
He gently took Mary by her shaking hands and pulled her behind him.
Julian: Are you hurt, Mary? Did she put hands on you?
Mary: Julian... is it really true? Are you my little boy?
Julian looked into Mary's eyes and felt a sudden warm wave of comfort.
He drew a official legal paper from his inner coat pocket slowly.
Julian: Yes, mom. I found the court records three days ago.
Victoria gasped loudly and took three quick steps backward in panic.
Victoria: What?! That is impossible! You do not know what you are saying!
Julian: I know everything you did, Victoria.
He handed the legal papers to the detective standing right beside him.
Julian: You hid my adoption records so you could control my trust fund.
Julian: You hired my biological mother as a maid just to humiliate her daily!
Victoria: No, Julian, I was trying to protect you from her poverty!
Julian: You were protecting your own greed and access to my company money!
Julian turned to face his wife with deep disgust written on his face.
Julian: I opened a full investigation into your personal bank accounts yesterday.
Julian: You have been secretly transferring company funds into offshore accounts.
The detective stepped forward and pulled out a pair of shiny handcuffs.
Officer: Victoria Sterling, you are under arrest for grand larceny and wire fraud.
Victoria backed away until her back pressed hard against the library wall.
Victoria: You cannot do this to me! I am the lady of this mansion!
Julian: Not anymore. You are going straight to federal prison!
The detective snapped the metal cuffs around Victoria's wrists firmly.
She began to cry and scream as she was escorted down the hallway.
Julian took Mary's tired hands into his own warm palms with deep love.
Julian: You will never have to scrub another floor for as long as you live.
Mary: I only wanted to find you, my sweet child.
Julian wrapped his arms around his mother and held her very tight.
Justice had finally restored the family that cruelty had tried to destroy.
