Richard stared at the dramatic scene unfolding in his grand foyer.
Richard: What is going on here?!
Lily looked up from Sarah's arms, tears streaming down her small cheeks.
Lily: Daddy! She tried to hurt me on the stairs!
Richard's jaw dropped as he processed his daughter's terrified words.
Victoria: Richard, darling, the maid is lying! She made up the whole thing!
Sarah: Check the staircase security cameras, Mr. Wilmoth!
Richard pulled out his smartphone immediately to check the live security feed.
He accessed the system's cloud storage right in front of everyone.
The video clearly showed Victoria cornering the little girl at the top of the stairs.
It captured the exact moment Victoria tried to cause a terrible accident.
Richard's eyes filled with anger as he stared at the crystal-clear video evidence.
He realized that his new wife was a dangerous fraud who targeted his daughter for money.
The police officers looked at the video screen and stepped forward immediately.
Richard: How could you do this to my innocent child?!
Victoria: Richard, please! It was just a misunderstanding!
Richard: You are a monster who only cared about my wealth!
Victoria tried to turn around and run toward the back door.
The two officers moved swiftly, cutting off her escape route near the hallway.
They grabbed Victoria by both arms before she could reach the back exit.
The sound of metallic handcuffs echoed loudly through the high-key foyer.
Richard: You are leaving this house in handcuffs for life!
Victoria struggled against the officers' firm grip, but it was completely useless.
