Before Eleanor could catch her breath, the heavy mansion entrance doors opened wide with a deafening crash that shook the glass panes[cite: 4]. Heavy footsteps hammered against the light marble floor as an authoritative man in a dark blue suit rushed inside, scanning the scene with an instantly recognizable expression of pure, unadulterated rage[cite: 4].
Richard: (Voice echoing through the hall) What happened here[cite: 4]?!
Clara: (Sobbing dramatically) Richard! Thank goodness you're here! The maid attacked me and tried to steal the baby!
Maid: Don't you dare lie to him, Clara! I saw everything!
Richard: Silence, both of you! I want the absolute truth right now!
Under the high-key daylight illuminating the white foyer, the maid kneeling with the stroller pointed urgently up toward the balcony at the woman in the beige dress[cite: 5]. A tense background drone filled the security speakers, emphasizing the gravity of the accusation[cite: 5].
Maid: Sir, your wife pushed the stroller off the edge[cite: 5]! If I hadn't caught it, he would be dead on this floor!
Clara: That's a complete fabrication! She's conspiring with the divorce lawyers to ruin my reputation!
Richard: Do you take me for a complete fool, Clara? Do you think I'm blind to your greed?
Clara: You have no proof! It's her word against mine!
Richard: I was pulling into the driveway and saw the whole thing from the security monitor on my phone!
