A Maid Saved His Life Before He Drank The Poison

The next morning, the bright sun lit up the office inside the Vance estate.

David sat behind his large oak desk with the family attorney across from him.

They were reviewing the financial records that Victoria had managed over the years.

The attorney flipped through a stack of bank statements with a dark frown.

Attorney: Victoria had been secretly embezzling money from the trust for months.

Attorney: She knew an audit was coming next week, which would expose her theft.

David: So she tried to eliminate me before the audit could take place.

Attorney: Exactly, because your death would have delayed the financial review process.

David shook his head as he realized the sheer depth of her betrayal.

He felt a deep sense of relief that the truth had finally come out.

There was a gentle knock on the heavy wooden door of the office.

Sarah stood in the doorway holding a tray with fresh coffee and toast.

She looked hesitant to enter the room after everything that happened last night.

David: Please come in, Sarah, and put that tray right down on the desk.

Sarah walked over and set the coffee tray down with delicate care.

Sarah: I hope you slept well after the crazy events of last night, sir.

David: I slept better than I have in months, thanks entirely to you.

David motioned for Sarah to take a seat in the plush armchair across from him.

Sarah looked surprised but sat down on the edge of the leather cushion.

David: I want to discuss your future here at the Vance estate, Sarah.

Sarah: Am I still allowed to keep working here as a housekeeper, sir?

David: No, Sarah, you are not going to be a housekeeper anymore.

Sarah's eyes widened in sudden worry as she gripped her hands together tight.

Sarah: Oh, did I do something wrong during the police interview today?

David: You did everything perfectly, and that is why you deserve far better.
