The marble staircase felt like a walk of shame as Victoria descended with a frantic expression, her eyes darting nervously toward the gathered employees[cite: 1]. She forced a shaky smile, attempting to brush off the horrific accusation with a dismissive wave of her hand[cite: 1].
Victoria: It was an accident! She slipped![cite: 1]
Jonathan: An accident? From the second-floor balcony? Do you take me for a fool?
Victoria: You know how clumsy she is! This hysterical maid is just making things up to get attention!
Elena: She tried to kill our baby![cite: 1]
The maid in the grey uniform on the floor looked up while weeping, holding the toddler, and pointed urgently at the woman[cite: 1]. Elena's voice cracked with raw emotion, her eyes blazing with fierce protection as she exposed the cold reality of what had transpired[cite: 1]. Jonathan's face drained of color, his initial shock instantly morphing into a dark, unforgiving wrath that terrified everyone in the room[cite: 1]. He looked from the trembling maid holding his crying daughter up to the guilty wife standing frozen on the lower steps[cite: 1].
Jonathan: I heard every word from the front door, Victoria. You didn't even hesitate.
Victoria: You're really going to believe a servant over your own wife? After everything we've built?
Jonathan: You just tried to murder my flesh and blood. Your time in this house is finished.
The tension in the foyer grew so thick that even the security guards stepped back, realizing that no amount of prenuptial agreement could save Victoria now[cite: 1]. She opened her mouth to argue further, but the sheer freezing intensity in Jonathan's eyes stopped her dead in her tracks[cite: 1].
