A New Beginning at the Estate

The Broken Glass and the Secret Inside the Golden Button

Arthur: Please, call me Arthur. You're family now, Maya.

Maya: Thank you, Arthur. Let's get Noah upstairs so he can get some rest after all this chaos.

Noah: Can Maya read me a bedtime story tonight, Dad?

Arthur: If she isn't too tired from saving our lives, I think that sounds like a great idea.

Maya: I would love to, Noah. Let me just get my hands bandaged up first.

Arthur: Doctor Stevens! Over here! Please treat Maya's hands immediately with the best care possible.

Doctor: Right away, Mr. Sterling. Come sit down over here, young lady.

Maya: Thank you, doctor. The cuts aren't too deep, luckily.

Doctor: You were very fortunate. Glass shards can cause severe nerve damage, but you pulled away just in time.

Arthur: She didn't pull away for herself. She used her body to cover Noah.

Doctor: That is remarkable bravery. You're a true guardian angel, young lady.

Maya: I just did what any decent person would do when a child is in danger.

Arthur: Most of the wealthy guests in this room ran for the doors the moment the glass started falling. You ran toward it.

Maya: Character isn't measured by what's in your bank account, Arthur. It's measured by what you do when things fall apart.

Arthur: That is a lesson I will never forget for the rest of my life.

Maya: What will happen to Victor's share of the investment company now?

Arthur: My legal team will initiate full foreclosure and asset recovery tomorrow morning. Every cent he stole from my late wife's estate will be put into a trust fund for Noah.

Maya: Justice was served tonight. That's all that matters.

Arthur: Justice was only served because you paid attention to a tiny gold button on a messy floor.

Maya: Sometimes the biggest secrets are hidden in the smallest places.

Noah: Maya! Look! I picked up your maid hat from the floor for you!

Maya: Aw, thank you, Noah. But you know what? I don't think I'm going to need that hat anymore.

Arthur: No, you certainly won't. Tomorrow, my assistant will prepare your official employment contract for the estate management position.

Maya: I can't wait to start. Thank you for believing in me, Arthur.

Arthur: Thank you for saving my family. Now, let's get you cleaned up and start a fresh chapter.

Noah: Yay! Maya is staying with us forever!

Maya: Forever sounds just fine to me, little guy.
