Loud footsteps sounded from the open French doors nearby.
Arthur rushed onto the sunny patio in a light blue shirt.
He was the wealthy businessman who owned the giant estate.
His face turned pale when he saw his daughter near the pool.
Arthur: What is all this shouting outside my quiet office?
Elena kept one firm hand on the secure stroller handle.
Elena: Sir, your daughter was almost in severe danger!
Victoria immediately let out a loud and dramatic sob.
She wiped fake tears from her face with a silk handkerchief.
Victoria: Arthur, your maid has completely lost her mind today!
Victoria: She ran out here and grabbed the baby roughly!
Arthur looked back and forth between the two trembling women.
His voice shook with rising anger and deep confusion.
Arthur: Elena, explain yourself right now before I fire you!
Elena took a deep breath to steady her cracked voice.
Elena: I saw Victoria roll the carriage toward the deep end!
Elena: She unlocked the brakes and walked away on purpose!
Victoria gasped loudly and held her hand over her chest.
Victoria: That is an absolute lie from a bitter employee!
Victoria: I was just admiring the sunlight on the water!
Arthur took three long strides toward his young wife.
He looked closely into Victoria's eyes for any sign.
Arthur: Is there any truth to what she is saying?
Victoria: You would trust a maid over your own wife?
Victoria pointed an angry finger directly at Elena's wet face.
Victoria: She wants to ruin my reputation in this house!
Arthur turned his stern gaze back to the loyal maid.
Arthur: You have made a massive accusation in this home.
Arthur: If you are lying, I will call the police immediately.
Elena stood taller and did not look away from him.
Elena: Check the security cameras mounted on the brick wall.
Victoria froze completely when those sharp words were spoken.
Her face lost all its warm color in an instant.
She had forgotten about the tiny lens near the roofline.
Arthur noticed the sudden shift in his wife's body language.
Arthur: Why do you look so nervous right now, Victoria?
Victoria: I am not nervous, I am just deeply offended!
Arthur reached out and locked the stroller brakes himself.
He picked up his sleeping daughter with great gentle care.
Arthur: We are all going into the security room together.
