Arthur: She slapped you to create a scene and get you thrown out before anyone noticed the resemblance.
Maya: She wanted me gone before you saw my tattoo...
Arthur: Exactly. She knew if I found my biological daughter, her family would lose control of the trust fund board.
Maya: What do we do now?
Arthur: Now, we make sure she pays for every single tears you cried in that orphanage.
Arthur picked up his desk phone and dialed a direct line to his chief legal counsel.
Arthur: Thomas, I need you at the estate right now. Bring the police chief and the lead estate lawyer.
Thomas: Mr. Vance? Is everything alright? We heard about the commotion at the gala.
Arthur: I found my daughter. And I know who organized her kidnapping twenty years ago.
Thomas: Good lord... I am on my way immediately.
Arthur hung up the phone and walked back to sit beside Maya on the sofa, taking her small, rough hands in his own.
Arthur: Look at your hands, my poor girl. You've worked so hard.
Maya: I worked at a diner during the day and cleaned event halls at night. I wanted to save enough money for night school.
Arthur: What did you want to study?
Maya: Business management. I wanted to start my own floral design company one day.
Arthur: You will have the best floral company in the entire country, Lily. Whatever you want, it is yours.
Maya: Just calling me your daughter is more than enough for me, Dad.
Arthur wiped another tear from his eye, pulling her into a warm side hug as heavy footsteps echoed down the hallway outside.
Thomas: Arthur! I brought Chief Miller and the legal documents!
Chief Miller: Is it true, Arthur? Did you really find her?
Arthur: Look at her wrist, Chief. Look at the mark my wife drew for her.
Chief Miller stepped forward, inspecting the star-shaped tattoo on Maya's arm. He let out a long breath, nodding slowly.
Chief Miller: It matches the original medical records from twenty years ago. There is no doubt about it. Welcome home, Miss Vance.
Maya: Thank you, Chief.
Thomas: If Victoria Sterling organized the kidnapping, we can freeze her corporate accounts immediately under the Organized Crime Act.
Arthur: Do it tonight, Thomas. Freeze every mortgage, every business line, and every bank account attached to her family name.
Chief Miller: We are heading to her penthouse with an arrest warrant right now.
