The grand ballroom was filled with bright sunlight and colorful banners for the special party.
Rich guests walked across the polished marble floor while soft music played in the background.
Mr. Moretti smiled proudly as he stood beside his young son Ethan in a handsome suit.
The wealthy businessman had spared no expense to make his son feel like a prince today.
Every table was covered in expensive silk cloths and tall glass vases filled with red roses.
Clara stood near the wall in her clean maid uniform and watched her little daughter Lily.
The three year old girl wore a sweet light blue dress and held her favorite small toy.
Clara worked long hours at the mansion to pay off her mortgage and keep her home safe.
She was thankful for the honest job and loved seeing her young child play so happily.
Suddenly the air filled with a sudden silence as people pointed toward the center dessert table.
A giant four tier cake stood on a rolling cart decorated with silver stars and blue cream.
Little Lily ran across the slick floor before anyone could catch her small moving arms.
Clara: Lily, come back here right now!
She pushed her tiny hands against the heavy wooden cart with all her strength.
The gigantic cake tipped forward and crashed onto the floor with a terrible mess.
Plates shattered into pieces as blue frosting flew across the clean white marble tiles.
The crowd gasped loudly as the sound echoed off the grand pillars of the room.
Clara: Oh no, I am so sorry!
Clara dropped to her knees immediately and pulled her young daughter into a tight hug.
She feared she would lose her job and be forced out of her small home forever.
Mr. Moretti: What on earth just happened here?
The tall father stomped over with a heavy look of anger on his pale face.
Clara: Mr. Moretti, please forgive her, she is only three years old!
The worried mother shielded the little girl with her own arms against the harsh glares.
Mr. Moretti: Why did you ruin Ethan's birthday cake, little girl?
The rich man knelt down to look closely into the tiny girl's shining eyes.
Lily pointed her tiny finger toward a dark hallway near the back exit door.
Lily: A mean man put a bad pill in the blue sweet!
Her voice was small but every person in the silent room heard the wild words.
