Chapter 12 - Security Locks Down Every Exit Across The Property
With the chaotic arrest completed, the Husband ordered an estate-wide security lockdown to ensure no other compromised staff remained.
The automated iron gates remained sealed tight, and all digital access keycards issued under Elena's name were permanently revoked.
The household staff gathered in the grand dining room, where the Husband addressed them personally to restore calm and order.
“I apologize for the turmoil you witnessed today, but Maria has my deepest gratitude for her honesty and integrity,” the Husband announced.
Maria blushed deeply, looking down at her apron as several senior staff members applauded the young maid warmly.
“Effective immediately, Maria is promoted to head housekeeping manager with a substantial salary increase and full medical benefits,” he added.
“Thank you, sir... I will continue to serve this household with absolute honesty and loyalty,” Maria said, wiping a happy tear.
The dark cloud that had hung over the mansion for three long years finally began to lift as true justice was restored.
