Vanessa stood on the stairs with a shocked expression on her face.
She had not expected Clara to dive and save the child so fast.
Instead of showing concern, Vanessa's eyes filled with anger and panic.
She realized that her cruel action had almost been caught red-handed.
Vanessa: Look at what you almost did, you clumsy servant!
Clara: You pushed it! I saw your hand push the handle!
Vanessa: How dare you accuse me of such an awful thing!
Vanessa quickly started walking down the stairs toward the bottom foyer.
She raised her voice loudly to make herself sound completely innocent.
Vanessa: You let go of the handle because you were being careless!
Just then, the massive double front doors burst open wide.
Mark rushed inside wearing his charcoal suit and looking very concerned.
He had returned home early to check on his beloved daughter.
Mark: What on earth is happening in this foyer right now?!
Mark saw Clara sitting on the floor holding crying baby Lily closely.
He saw the tipped stroller and Vanessa standing on the stair steps.
Vanessa: Oh Mark, thank goodness you are finally home right now!
Vanessa put her hands over her face and pretended to cry dramatically.
Vanessa: Clara almost let your poor baby fall down the grand steps!
Clara: That is a complete lie, Mr. Mark!
Clara pointed her finger up at Vanessa with passionate tears falling.
Clara: She unlocked the brake and pushed the stroller herself intentionally!
Mark stood frozen in the middle of the room looking between them.
The tension in the foyer was higher than it had ever been.
