Chapter 4 - Arthur Orders Security To Remove The Disgraced Guests
“You are a parasite who married my nephew solely for his bank account, Clara,” Arthur stated with utter contempt.
“Escort her off my property immediately, and make sure she takes every single one of her belongings with her.”
Two security guards stepped forward, gently but firmly grabbing Clara by her arms as she thrashed against them.
“Let go of me, you idiots! Arthur, you’ll regret this! You’ll all regret this!” Clara screamed as she was dragged toward the exit.
The heavy mahogany doors swung open, casting Clara out onto the stone steps before slamming shut with a resounding, echoing crash.
The ballroom guests stood motionless, whispering frantically among themselves as the dramatic spectacle reached its fever pitch.
Arthur turned back to Sophia, kneeling once more on the marble floor to pull his daughter and infant grandson into his arms.
“You’re safe now, my darling. No one will ever hurt or banish you from this family ever again,” Arthur promised gently.
Sophia nodded, holding onto her father tightly as the overwhelming weight of two decades of exile finally lifted from her shoulders.

It was a symbol of freedom, justice, and truth prevailing over decades of corruption and familial deceit.
