Two uniformed police officers walked into the grand marble foyer quickly.
Richard stepped forward to meet them, holding the smartphone containing evidence.
Police Officer: Mr. Sterling, we received an emergency distress call from this address.
Richard: Officer, thank you for arriving so quickly to my home.
Richard: This woman intentionally pushed my baby's stroller down stone stairs.
Evelyn: That is a complete lie, I am his wife!
Police Officer: Ma'am, please calm down and stay right where you are.
Richard handed the smartphone to the lead police officer calmly.
Richard: We have clear video evidence recorded by my daughter right here.
the lead officer watched the video clip on Lily's phone carefully.
His expression turned serious and firm as he saw the clear footage.
Police Officer: Ma'am, step forward and place your hands behind your back.
Evelyn: You cannot arrest me! Do you know how much money I have?
Police Officer: You are under arrest for felony child endangerment and assault.
The officer placed metallic handcuffs around Evelyn's wrists with a sharp click.
Evelyn struggled against the officer, but he held her securely in place.
Her golden metallic dress was wrinkled and ruined from her struggling movements.
She looked at Richard with absolute hatred filling her eyes completely.
Evelyn: You will regret this day, Richard Sterling!
Richard: Officer, take this monster away from my family forever.
The two officers escorted Evelyn out through the massive double front doors.
The heavy doors shut behind them with a loud and final thud.
A heavy silence fell over the foyer as peace returned once more.
Richard took a deep breath, feeling a massive weight lift away.
He walked back toward Clara and gently placed a hand on her shoulder.
Richard: Clara, I want to make things right with you immediately.
Clara: You do not owe me anything extra, Mr. Sterling.
Richard: I owe you my baby daughter's life and safety, Clara.
Richard: Starting tomorrow, you are the head estate manager of this house.
Richard: Your salary will be tripled, and you will have full job security.
Clara's eyes filled with fresh tears of joy and genuine appreciation.
Clara: Thank you, sir, I am so grateful for your trust.
Lily: Can Clara stay living with us forever now, Dad?
Richard: Yes, sweetie, Clara is family to us now.
