Arthur: Why didn't you just tell me who you were when you applied for the job?
Elena: Would you have believed me? Or would you have thought I was just another greedy person coming after the family inheritance?
Arthur: I... I don't know. After everything that happened with Evelyn, I was suspicious of everyone.
Elena: I wanted to protect Lily quietly. I didn't care about the money or the trust fund. But Evelyn found out yesterday that the law firm identified me as the legal contingent beneficiary of the estate if Lily was harmed.
Arthur: So Evelyn thought if she got rid of Lily and framed you for negligence, she could claim full control of the estate before the trust triggered!
Elena: Exactly. She wanted to eliminate both of us in one move.
Arthur: That monster... she was willing to destroy a toddler's life for money she didn't even earn.
Elena: The police have the video, Mr. Miller. Her legal team won't be able to twist this. The prenup she signed specifically states that any criminal act against the family completely forfeits all claims to your wealth, alimony, and joint assets.
Arthur: She'll leave this marriage with nothing but a orange jumpsuit.
Elena: Good. She deserves every single year she gets behind bars.
Arthur sat down in his leather armchair, burying his head in his hands. The weight of the deception, the betrayal, and the terrifying near-tragedy washed over him in waves.
Arthur: I was so blind, Elena. I was so caught up in work and corporate deals that I almost lost my daughter to a viper in my own home.
Elena: You were protecting your business, Mr. Miller. But now you know the truth.
Arthur: You risked your own life to dive across that floor. You saved my daughter, your own cousin. From this day on, you are not working as a maid in this house ever again.
