Elena spent the entire afternoon inside the nursery, refusing to let little Leo out of her sight.
She kept the thick bedroom door locked from the inside while the baby slept peacefully nearby.
She knew that Victoria was hiding something terrible, something connected to the child's rich inheritance trust fund.
Richard Sterling had set up a massive trust fund for his new adopted son just last month.
If anything happened to the baby, the entire fortune would transfer directly to Victoria upon divorce.
Elena remembered hearing Victoria arguing late at night with a mysterious lawyer on her mobile phone.
She decided to wait until Victoria left the mansion to go shopping at the downtown mall.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Elena heard the front door slam shut as Victoria departed.
Elena took the master key from her pocket and walked quickly into Richard's private home office.
The dark office smelled faintly of expensive leather chairs and old mahogany wood furniture everywhere.
Elena went straight to the large wall painting of the American flag hanging near the desk.
She swung the heavy frame aside to reveal the small digital safe hidden built into the wall.
Elena had seen Richard enter the code many times while she was cleaning the heavy dust away.
She pressed the four digits carefully into the glowing keypad until the thick metal lock clicked open.
Inside the safe lay stacks of legal documents, bank statements, and a sealed manila envelope.
Elena pulled out the envelope and opened it with trembling fingers as she checked the doorway.
Inside was a set of official DNA tests and a signed private investigator report about Victoria.
The papers revealed that Victoria was never legally married to Richard in the first place at all.
Her previous divorce had never been finalized in court, making her current marriage completely invalid and void.
More importantly, the adoption papers showed that Victoria had forged Richard's signature on the final papers.
She had planned to use the baby to secure millions before her secret secret marriage was exposed.
Elena gasped as she realized the true depth of the wicked plot unfolding in the house.
Suddenly, the heavy wooden door of the office swung open behind her with a loud bang.
Victoria stood in the doorway, holding a set of car keys and glaring with pure rage.
"I knew I could not trust a nosy maid like you!" Victoria screamed, stepping into the room.
"Put those papers down right now, or you will regret this day for the rest of your life!"
Elena stuffed the document into her apron pocket and stood tall against the angry woman.
"This whole adoption is a lie!" Elena shouted back, her voice filled with pure righteous anger.
"You used this baby to steal Richard's money, and now you want to eliminate him!"
Victoria rushed forward and tried to grab the apron, her sharp fingernails scratching Elena's arm.
Elena pushed past her firmly, using the heavy office desk to block Victoria's fast path.
She ran out into the hallway, heading straight for the front entrance of the massive home.
"You will never leave this house alive with those papers!" Victoria yelled out while chasing behind.
Elena locked herself inside the main security guard booth right next to the massive front gates.
