Chapter 9 - Restoring The Legacy
Six months later, the Sterling mansion was filled with warm sunlight and the happy sound of children playing in the manicured gardens.
Isabella was sentenced to eight years in state prison without parole for child endangerment and corporate fraud, her legal name completely stripped from all Sterling estate titles.
William officially dissolved all connections to the corrupt lawyers who had assisted Isabella, placing the entire family trust into an untouchable legal foundation managed solely for Ethan's future.
Emma retired her maid uniform forever, taking her rightful place as Ethan's legal guardian alongside William and co-director of the estate's charitable foundation.
Ethan sat at the dining room table, laughing happily as he drew pictures of his mother, his father, and his aunt under the bright sun.
