David dropped his heavy leather briefcase onto the dark wood bench near the door.
He rushed across the grand room with wide eyes full of deep worry.
Sarah looked up from the floor and pointed her shaking hand toward the balcony.
She gathered her breath while trying to calm the crying infant in her arms.
David demanded to know what had caused such chaotic panic in his home.
Sarah told him straight out that Elena had intentionally tipped the carriage over.
David gasped and looked up toward the spiral staircase in complete disbelief.
Elena began walking down the marble steps as fast as her heels allowed.
She waved her hands nervously as she tried to defend her terrible actions.
Elena claimed the wheels had caught on the rug near the top ledge.
She insisted it was a tragic accident and blamed Sarah for causing chaos.
David stared at his wife as she reached the bottom step of the stairs.
His face grew dark with intense anger as he stood between the women.
He had noticed small warning signs over the past few weeks regarding Elena.
She had asked detailed questions about his life insurance policy just yesterday.
The trust fund for baby Leo was worth millions of dollars in total value.
Elena wanted full control over the vast estate and the family fortune.
David looked from his crying baby to his defensive wife standing nearby.
He demanded that Elena tell him the absolute truth about what happened.
Elena stepped closer and reached for David's arm with a desperate smile.
She told him the maid was lying to cover up her own mistake.
Sarah shook her head firmness and held the baby closer to her chest.
She reminded David about the security cameras installed in the high ceiling corners.
Elena turned pale as she glanced up at the small black dome lens.
She had forgotten about the newly installed security system inside the house.
David saw her face change and knew instantly that the maid spoke the truth.
His chest heaved with heavy breaths as the realization hit his mind hard.
He stepped right into Elena's space and confronted her about the betrayal.
David raised his voice so loudly that the sound echoed through the foyer.
He scolded her severely for placing an innocent infant in such extreme danger.
Elena backed away until her heels pressed against the base of the staircase.
She tried to speak again, but David pointed sternly toward the large doors.
He told her that her time in his home was officially over right now.
He ordered her to leave the property immediately without taking anything along.
Elena began to cry real tears as the consequences settled into her heart.
She realized her grand plan to secure the fortune had failed completely.
