David confronted Sarah while the police officers took defensive positions.
David: You tried to ruin an innocent woman's entire life!
David: You almost destroyed my family today!
Sarah backed away until her spine hit the white marble pillar.
Sarah: David, please, I did it for us!
Sarah: She was interfering with how I wanted to run this house!
David: You are sick and dangerous!
David: Our marriage is completely over as of this exact moment!
Officer Miller took out a pair of steel handcuffs from his belt.
Officer Miller: Sarah Sterling, you are under arrest for felony child endangerment.
Officer Miller: You are also charged with filing a false police report.
Sarah began sobbing hysterically as the metal cuffs clicked around her wrists.
Sarah: You can't do this to me!
Sarah: I am the lady of this mansion!
Officer Miller: You have the right to remain silent, ma'am.
The second police officer gently guided Sarah out through the grand front doors.
Her loud complaints echoed across the driveway until the patrol car door slammed shut.
David covered his face with both hands and took a deep breath.
He walked over to Clara, who was sitting softly on the bottom stair step.
She was still holding baby Lily close to her heart.
David dropped to his knees right in front of the loyal maid.
Tears welled up in the wealthy businessman's eyes.
David: Clara, I am so deeply sorry for how I spoke to you.
David: I almost made the biggest mistake of my entire life.
Clara: It is alright, Mr. Sterling, you were scared for your daughter.
David: That is no excuse for doubting your character.
David: You dove across hard marble to save my child's life.
Maya came down the stairs and wrapped her arms around Clara's neck.
Maya: You are the real hero of our house, Clara.
