Bright ambient light washed over the marble floor where the woman in the green dress lay near the American flag, clutching her bruised face in total agony and shock.
Victoria: Please, let me explain!
Crying out in pain, she curled into a ball on the cold stone while a sharp sob escaped her lips.
Richard: There is nothing left to explain. The footage is crystal clear.
Victoria: You can't throw me out like common trash after everything we built together!
Richard: I built this estate; you merely tried to tear my family apart from the inside.
Victoria: Have mercy, Richard! Think of the scandal!
Richard: You should have thought of the scandal before you threw my newborn baby into the air.
Victoria: I'll leave the country! You'll never see me again!
Richard: Oh, you'll leave alright, straight into the back of a police cruiser.
Full bright natural daylight throughout illuminated the grand foyer as the man stands authoritatively near the American flag, pointing his finger sternly directly at her face while holding his baby safely next to the maid.
Richard: Get out of my house immediately! You are going to prison!
A deep dramatic orchestral climax echoed through the mansion as heavy estate security doors opened.
Victoria: You will pay for this humiliation! Both of you will regret this day!
Richard: Escort her off my property and make sure the authorities are waiting at the front gates.
Security guards hauled the sobbing, disheveled woman up from the marble floor and dragged her screaming out of the double doors. Silence settled over the grand foyer once more, broken only by the gentle breathing of the baby resting securely in his father's arms. Richard turned his gaze to Clara, a look of profound gratitude softening his harsh expression.
Richard: Clara, you saved my son's life today. Words cannot express my thanks.
Clara: I only did what any good person would do, sir. He's safe now.
Richard: From this moment on, your position here is secure, and you will be rewarded for your incredible bravery.
Clara: Thank you, Mr. Vance. Let's get this little one settled inside.
The nightmare was officially over, leaving a loyal maid and a grateful father standing united under the bright American flag, ready for a peaceful new beginning.
