Victoria clutched her red cheek and glared at Clara with pure hatred.
Victoria: You hit me! You hit the mistress of this house!
Clara: You tried to kill an innocent infant for money!
Suddenly, the wide wooden mansion doors slammed open with immense force.
Arthur Vance rushed out onto the patio wearing his dark corporate suit.
He had just arrived home early from his downtown business meetings.
His face was red with confusion and panic as he saw the scene.
Arthur: What is happening here right now?
Victoria immediately dropped to her knees on the wet stone floor crying.
She pointed a shaking finger at Clara and baby Leo's wet blanket.
Victoria: Arthur, thank God you are home! She is insane!
Arthur: Why is my baby wet? Why is he crying?
Victoria: Your maid tried to drown him in the pool!
Victoria sobbed loudly and put her face in her hands dramatically.
Victoria: I saw her push the stroller into the deep water!
Victoria: I tried to stop her, but she hit me in the face!
Arthur turned his stern gaze toward Clara with horror in his eyes.
He stepped toward Clara with his fists clenched tightly at his sides.
Arthur: Clara, tell me this is not true right now!
Clara did not back away or lower her proud, honest head.
She held the dripping baby securely against her warm chest beat.
She pointed her finger directly at Victoria's lying face without fear.
Clara: She threw your baby into the pool! She's lying!
Victoria: Don't listen to her! Fire her and call the police!
Clara: Check the security camera mounted above the patio door, Arthur!
Victoria froze completely, her fake tears stopping in an instant.
She had forgotten about the high-definition security camera near the roof.
