Brenda rushed across the large room without stopping for breath.
She pushed Victoria away from the sofa with all her physical strength.
Victoria stumbled backward onto the soft rug in total surprise.
The heavy hot iron fell safely onto the thick marble table top.
Brenda scooped little Leo into her arms and held him very tight.
The baby shook as he buried his face into her clean uniform.
Brenda felt tears of relief running down her own warm cheeks.
She checked the baby's small body to make sure he was unhurt.
Leo was safe in her arms and suffered no burns at all.
Victoria stood up quickly and pulled her blue dress down straight.
Her eyes were wide with pure rage as she glared at Brenda.
Victoria: How dare you lay your dirty hands on me!
Brenda: You were about to hurt this helpless little baby!
Victoria: You are just a maid who cleans my floors!
Brenda: I am a human being who protects innocent children!
Victoria: Give me that child right now and pack your bags!
Brenda: I will never hand this baby back to you!
Victoria stepped forward to snatch the child away by force.
Brenda turned her body to shield the small infant completely.
She raised her free hand to stop the angry woman from advancing.
The tension inside the bright room reached a dangerous level.
Brenda knew she could not leave the house with the child easily.
The mansion had security gates and private guards outside the entrance.
She needed help from someone who had real legal power here.
She prayed that Arthur would return home from his office early.
Victoria reached out again with her long sharp red nails.
Brenda stood her ground firmly and refused to move an inch.
She stared directly into the eyes of her rich boss.
The battle for the truth had just started inside the mansion.
