Ten-year-old Lily stepped out from behind the tall archway holding her phone.
Her small hands held the black phone tightly against her white lace dress.
She looked straight at her father with steady, serious brown eyes today.
Lily: Daddy, do not yell at Elena because she did nothing wrong!
Richard: Lily, sweetie, go back to your bedroom upstairs right now.
Lily: No, Daddy, you need to watch this video on my screen first!
Victoria took two fast steps down the stairs with a pale face.
Her high heels made sharp clicking sounds against the hard white marble.
Victoria: Give me that phone right now, Lily, children should not interfere!
Lily: Stay away from me, Victoria, I saw what you did upstairs!
Richard stepped between his young daughter and his furious second wife immediately.
He put a warm hand on Lily's shoulder to keep her safe.
Richard: Let me see the video right now, Lily, press play now.
Lily tapped the bright screen and held it up for her father.
The recorded footage showed the upper hallway clearly from behind a large plant.
Victoria was standing near the stroller while Elena was folding clean towels.
The video clearly showed Victoria quietly kicking the brake lever off the wheel.
Then Victoria gave the stroller a strong nudge straight toward the stairs.
She waited three seconds before screaming loudly to startle the innocent maid.
Audio from the phone played loudly through the entire tall mansion foyer.
On Phone: Get out of the way before it falls down!
Richard watched the small screen while his jaw tightened with deep anger.
The truth was right there in high definition under the bright light.
Victoria had tried to frame Elena to get her fired from work.
She wanted the loyal old maid gone from the house forever today.
Richard: How could you do something so evil inside my home?
Victoria: Richard, listen to me, that video is totally misleading and wrong!
Richard: I just saw your hand push that stroller with my eyes!
Elena wiped a quiet tear from her cheek and stood up straight.
She looked at the little girl who had just saved her job.
Elena: Thank you, sweet Lily, for showing your father the real truth.
Lily: I saw her hiding behind the door with her phone earlier.
Victoria backed up one step against the polished banister of the stairs.
Her perfect plan was falling apart right before her very eyes now.
She looked at Richard with wide eyes full of panic and fear.
He looked colder than she had ever seen him during their marriage.
The luxury mansion suddenly felt like a tight trap surrounding her body.
She tried to reach out to touch his arm with her hand.
Richard pulled his arm back quickly, refusing to let her touch him.
He took a deep breath as he looked toward the heavy door.
