The screen showed clear high definition video from early that morning.
Victoria stood in front of the open wall safe alone.
She stuffed several velvet jewel boxes into her large handbag quickly.
She then walked over to the corner where Sarah's apron hung.
She slid one single ring box into the apron front pocket.
Richard watched the clear video play without saying a single word.
His face turned red with absolute betrayal and cold hard disgust.
Richard: You framed my daughter's maid.
He turned the laptop screen around so Victoria could see it.
Victoria stared at her own face playing on the bright screen.
Victoria: I needed that money desperately!
She backed toward the open study door with her hands up.
Victoria: My family debts are huge!
Richard: You stole from my child.
Richard: You put your hands on her!
Maya watched her father from the large brown leather armchair quietly.
Sarah took a deep breath of relief as truth came out.
Sarah: Thank you for believing me.
Richard: You saved Maya today, Sarah.
The loud sound of police sirens echoed down the long driveway.
Flashing red and blue lights reflected against the tall office windows.
Victoria ran toward the back glass patio doors to escape outside.
Richard moved fast and blocked her path with his heavy frame.
Richard: You are not going anywhere.
Two police officers walked into the open study with purpose.
Officer: Mr. Sterling, we received your call.
Richard pointed directly at Victoria standing by the clear glass.
Richard: Arrest this woman for theft.
Richard: And for child endangerment today.
Victoria screamed as the police officers placed handcuffs on her wrists.
Victoria: You can't do this to me!
They led her out down the wide marble hallway slowly.
