Victoria's face turned bright red as her temporary shock transformed into absolute, unbridled fury.
Victoria: What hell is going on here?
Victoria: You are just a hired worker in my expensive household!
Elena: You dropped an innocent child onto a marble floor!
Victoria: Nobody will ever take the word of a poor maid over mine!
Victoria adjusted her expensive purple dress and stepped closer with a menacing look upon her face.
She tried to snatch the child's blanket, but Elena turned her side to block the aggressive move.
Elena knew that her job was completely over, but the safety of Leo was her priority.
She remembered seeing strange documents left open on Victoria's private vanity table earlier that week.
Victoria had been meeting secretly with a divorce lawyer to secure a massive life insurance policy settlement.
She wanted the huge inheritance money without the burden of raising Arthur's biological son alone.
The child was merely a bargaining chip in her elaborate plan to secure the family estate trust.
Elena had stayed silent earlier out of fear, but now the physical danger was too real to ignore.
Elena: You do not care about this baby at all!
Victoria: Give him to me before I call the police on you!
Victoria: I will tell them you attacked me and stole my child!
Victoria reached out aggressively, grabbing Elena's sleeve with her long, polished fingernails.
Elena stood her ground firmly, holding the baby with absolute determination and unbreakable strength.
The infant nestled his small head into Elena's neck, finding comfort in her gentle and warm presence.
Suddenly, the heavy double front doors of the mansion burst open with a loud, resounding bang.
The bright outdoor light flooded the entryway as a tall figure rushed inside with urgent speed.
Arthur Sterling had returned home unexpectedly after forgetting his important legal portfolio for the meeting.
He stopped dead in his tracks, staring at the chaotic scene unfolding inside his grand foyer.
Victoria immediately changed her body language, dropping her hands and letting out a fake, dramatic sob.
She touched her forehead with a trembling hand, trying to appear completely faint and utterly defenseless.
Victoria: Oh Arthur, thank goodness you are home!
Victoria: The maid has completely lost her mind and taken Leo!
Elena did not back down, pointing an angry finger directly at the lying woman in purple.
Elena: Sir, she threw your baby and dropped him!
