Richard stepped forward with a dark scowl across his handsome face.
He looked at his crying son sitting scared in the armchair.
Then he looked up at the stairs where Sarah and Victoria stood.
Victoria immediately changed her tone and put on a fake sad smile.
She ran down the stairs pretending to be a helpless victim.
Victoria: Oh Richard thank goodness you are finally home to save me!
Richard: Why is my son crying and why is there fighting?
Victoria: This crazy maid attacked me and pushed little Liam down!
Sarah walked down the stairs calmly with her head held high.
Liam ran past Victoria instantly and hugged his father's tall leg.
Liam: Dad no! She is lying to you like she always does!
Richard: Tell me the absolute truth right now my son.
Liam: Victoria pushed me down the stairs on purpose just now!
Liam: Sarah ran fast and saved me before I hit floor!
Richard froze as his eyes filled with overwhelming anger and sorrow.
He looked at Sarah who nodded her head to confirm it.
Sarah: I saw her push him with my own two eyes sir.
Sarah: I caught him at the bottom before he broke bones.
Victoria began to panic as her face turned completely pale white.
Victoria: Do not listen to a poor maid over your wife!
Richard: I installed security cameras inside this foyer last week Victoria.
Victoria gasped loudly as her eyes darted up to the ceiling corner.
She had forgotten all about the newly installed surveillance cameras overhead.
Richard pulled out his premium smartphone and opened the live app.
He played back the video footage from five short minutes ago.
The clear video showed Victoria shoving the helpless child down hard.
It showed Sarah diving heroically to save the small boy in time.
Richard's jaw clenched tight as tears of pure rage filled eyes.
He looked at Victoria as if she were a total stranger.
Richard: You are a heartless monster who hurt my only child.
The truth was out and there was no escape for her.
