Julian looked down at his sister, his face growing dark with deep suspicion and concern.
He turned his gaze toward Sarah, taking in her firm stance and immaculate security uniform.
He noticed the splattered cream covering her dark leather boots and the lower uniform hem.
He knew his sister's awful history of abusing household staff members behind closed doors very well.
Julian: Is this true, Officer? Did you strike my sister without any physical threat present?
Sarah did not back down or lie to protect herself from the severe legal consequences.
Sarah: She deliberately dropped that cake on my feet to humiliate me before everyone.
Sarah: She demanded I kneel to scrub her mess and threatened my life's livelihood.
Victoria: That is a complete lie! She dropped it herself and threw a crazy tantrum!
Victoria continued crying loudly on the floor, hoping the surrounding crowd would support her story.
However, many guests kept their heads lowered, fully aware of Victoria's notoriously nasty temper.
Julian held up a hand, silencing his sister's loud crying with one sharp, stern look.
He walked over to the side wall where a small security camera pointed straight down.
The high-definition lens sat right above the entrance, recording every angle of the high hallway.
Julian: We have twenty-four-hour crystal clear coverage of this entire foyer on live security feeds.
Victoria's dramatic crying stopped instantly as her face turned completely ghost white with absolute panic.
She had forgotten that her brother installed top-tier security systems across the entire private mansion.
Julian pulled out his sleek smartphone, opening the direct administrator security app with quick taps.
He rewound the footage by thirty seconds, watching the clear video feed on his screen.
He saw Victoria walk intentionally toward Sarah with a bitter, deliberate sneer on her face.
He saw her look directly at Sarah's boots before deliberately opening her hands to drop the plate.
He heard the clear audio capture Victoria demanding Sarah kneel like a lower-class servant girl.
Julian's jaw hardened with deep shame and sudden anger as he closed his phone tightly.
