Two uniform police officers rushed through the wide entry doors of the home.
David had called emergency dispatch the moment he realized what happened.
The officers moved quickly into the center of the spacious foyer.
David pointed directly at Victoria as she cringed against the staircase wall.
He requested that the officers arrest her immediately for child endangerment.
One officer stepped forward and pulled out a pair of steel handcuffs.
He ordered Victoria to turn around and put her hands behind her back.
Victoria began to weep real tears of panic as the metal cuffs clicked shut.
She begged David to forgive her and give her one more chance.
David turned his back on her without saying another word.
The officers escorted Victoria out the front doors of the mansion.
The sound of police sirens echoed from the long driveway outside.
David walked back over to Clara and took his daughter into his arms.
He looked at Clara with deep gratitude and apologized for the danger she faced.
He promised Clara that her loyalty and bravery would never be forgotten.
David offered Clara a permanent position as the head manager of his home.
He also promised to pay for all of her medical checks after the hard slide.
Clara smiled softly as she stroked baby Lily's cheek with her fingers.
The baby had stopped crying and was now resting peacefully in the foyer.
The dark threat to the family was finally removed from the house forever.
Clara felt proud that she had listened to her instinct to protect the child.
Justice had been served, and the truth had saved a young life today.
