Maya stood firmly on the marble step right in front of Eleanor.
Her body trembled with deep protective anger for the innocent child.
Maya: Get your cruel hands away from this little boy forever!
Eleanor: How dare you shout at me in my own luxury mansion!
Maya: You do not own this house or this young boy's life!
Eleanor raised her arm to push Maya back down the staircase.
Maya stepped forward quickly and blocked Eleanor's cold arm away.
Maya: You have been lying to Mr. Vance since the very beginning!
Eleanor: You are fired as of this exact second, leave now!
Maya: I will not leave until Mr. Vance knows the full truth!
Maya pointed toward the legal paper sticking out of Eleanor's purse.
Maya: Show everyone what you stole from the home office desk!
Eleanor gasped and quickly tried to hide her golden hand purse.
Guests below began whispering to each other in total surprise.
Guest 1: Is that the CEO's new wife shouting at the staff?
Guest 2: Look at how scared that little boy looks right now.
Eleanor felt her face flush hot with extreme public embarrassment.
She tried to grab Leo's hand again to drag him away.
Eleanor: Come with me right now you ungrateful little brat!
Maya: Do not touch him again or I will call the police!
Maya stepped between Eleanor and Leo to shield the young boy.
Eleanor lashed out angrily and tried to grab Maya's blue uniform.
Maya firmly pushed Eleanor's arm back to protect herself and Leo.
Eleanor lost her footing on her high heels and stumbled back.
She caught the railing tightly with both of her shaking hands.
Eleanor: You crazy maid, you will pay for touching my dress!
Maya: I am not afraid of your money or your ugly threats!
Leo held onto Maya's blue skirt with both of his small hands.
Leo: Maya, please don't let her take my dad away from me.
Maya: Your dad is going to see who she really is tonight.
The heavy front double doors of the grand foyer suddenly swung open.
Heavy footsteps echoed across the polished white marble floor downstairs.
Julian Vance walked into the main hall with four security officers.
He looked at the crowd of quiet guests staring up high.
Then his eyes moved to the top of the grand staircase.
He saw his crying son holding tight to the house nanny.
He saw his wife standing over them with an angry face.
Julian's face turned pale with utter shock and rising fury.
