Arthur stepped back into the house carrying his dark leather briefcase.
He had forgotten an important paper for his big afternoon meeting.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he heard the wild shouting.
Arthur wore a handsome green velvet suit that matched his bright eyes.
He looked at Clara crying on the floor with the baby.
Then he looked at Victoria standing near the top of the stairs.
Arthur: What is going on here?
Clara: Sir, thank goodness you came back right now!
Victoria: Arthur, this foolish maid has completely lost her mind!
Clara: She tried to throw your baby on the marble floor!
Arthur's eyes widened in total shock and pure disbelief.
He dropped his expensive leather briefcase straight onto the floor.
Victoria quickly ran toward Arthur with tears falling from her eyes.
She tried to grab his hand and put on a sad face.
She claimed that the carriage had simply slipped out of her grip.
She said she was only trying to take Leo for fresh air.
Victoria blamed Clara for shouting and making the baby cry so loudly.
Arthur looked from his new wife to the loyal family maid.
Clara had served his family faithfully for more than eight years.
She had never lied to him about a single thing before.
Clara stepped forward with tears streaming down her pale face.
Clara: She pushed the stroller toward the steps on purpose, sir!
Clara: I had to dive across the floor to catch him!
Victoria: She is trying to ruin our marriage because she hates me!
Arthur: Silence right now, both of you!
Arthur walked quickly across the grand hall toward his young son.
He took little Leo gently into his own strong arms.
The baby stopped crying as soon as he felt his father.
Arthur held his son tightly against his green velvet jacket.
He looked deeply into Victoria's eyes with a growing sense of suspicion.
He remembered how Victoria always asked about his massive will.
She had repeatedly checked if Leo was the sole heir to everything.
Arthur felt a cold chill run all the way down his spine.
He stepped closer to Victoria with a dark expression on his face.
Arthur: Tell me the truth right now, Victoria.
Victoria: I am your wife, Arthur, you must trust me!
Arthur: Get out of my sight!
