Richard helped Elena stand up from the smooth marble floor slowly.
His hands were still shaking from the terrible near-tragedy.
He gently took his crying daughter into his own strong arms.
Richard: We need to check the security camera footage right now.
He walked quickly toward the private study behind the main staircase.
Elena followed right behind him to support her wealthy boss.
The private office was lined with dark wood shelves and books.
Richard sat down at his large desk and opened his laptop computer.
He logged into the estate’s high-definition security camera system.
The wide camera angle showed the entire second-floor balcony clearly.
Richard: Let us see what really happened up on that floor.
He rewound the digital video clip by two full minutes.
The video clearly showed Evelyn holding the infant near the gold edge.
She looked around the empty room to see if anyone was watching.
Then she intentionally pushed the small blanket over the open railing.
Richard slammed his hand down onto the hard wooden desk.
Richard: This is complete proof of a terrible criminal act.
Elena gasped as she watched the dramatic scene replay on screen.
Elena: She did not even try to catch the blanket back.
Richard: She wanted to remove my child to take my full inheritance.
He immediately picked up his black cell phone from the desk.
He dialed the local police department with a firm and steady hand.
Richard: I need officers sent to my residential address immediately.
He explained the dangerous incident to the dispatch officer clearly.
Meanwhile, upstairs in the master closet, Evelyn packed her bags.
She stuffed expensive diamond necklaces into her designer leather purse.
She knew her luxurious lifestyle in this mansion was completely over.
Evelyn: I will not walk away from this family empty-handed.
She muttered to herself as she zipped the heavy bag shut.
She walked out toward the back staircase to avoid the front entrance.
She did not realize that Richard had already locked the lower doors.
The entire house was secured under his central electronic system.
She pushed hard against the back glass door, but it stayed shut.
Evelyn: Open this door right now, Richard!
Her loud voice echoed through the long, quiet kitchen hallway.
