Arthur turned on his heel and walked toward the large wall mounted control screen.
The wall monitor lit up with bright white daylight views from all over the house.
Victoria's face turned pale as she watched her brother operate the digital video controller.
Victoria: The cameras are unnecessary, we all saw the necklace inside her bag!
Arthur: If she is guilty, the footage will simply confirm your direct words Victoria.
He tapped the glass touchscreen interface to select the main east wing hallway camera.
The digital video stream expanded until it filled the entire large flat screen monitor.
The display showed clear black and white high definition footage from fifteen minutes ago.
Clara appeared on screen carrying her tray of clean glass cups toward the dining room.
Then Victoria appeared on the screen walking rapidly from her private dressing room doors.
Arthur: Let us rewind the security footage by three minutes right now please.
The whirring visual effect showed the figures moving backward in smooth high speed motion.
Arthur pressed the play button as the video played at normal speed for everyone.
The screen clearly captured Victoria reaching deep into her own silk dress pocket first.
She pulled out the diamond teardrop necklace while slipping behind Clara's side angle view.
With a fast practiced motion, Victoria slipped the heavy necklace right into Clara's bag.
The footage was crisp and clear under the powerful bright daylight hallway lighting cameras.
Everyone in the room watched the screen in absolute silence for ten long seconds.
The security guards slowly lowered their arms and stepped away from Clara's sides.
Arthur's eye narrowed in intense quiet rage as he turned back to face Victoria.
Arthur: Care to explain what I just watched on that large screen Victoria?
Victoria: That footage is misleading, I was trying to return it to her!
Arthur: Stop lying, you deliberately framed an innocent worker in my home structure!
Victoria gasped as she backed up against the tall white marble decorative pillar.
She knew there was no way to deny what the bright video revealed clearly.
Clara sobbed with deep emotional relief as the weight of false guilt lifted away.
Clara: Thank you, Mr. Sterling, thank you for checking the hallway security camera!
