Victoria tipped the massive heirloom vase right off the wooden balcony railing into open air.
It fell through the bright central atrium and shattered loudly onto the white marble floor below.
The sharp sound echoed like thunder throughout the massive high-ceilinged entrance hall of the house.
At that exact second little Lily stumbled forward near the unlatched upper safety stair gate.
Victoria intentionally reached out and slammed the safety gate wide open with a loud wooden bang.
She started screaming at the top of her lungs as if a horrific accident was occurring.
Victoria: Help someone grab the child before she slips through the open railing gap!
Elena: I have got you sweetie you are completely safe in my arms right now!
Elena sprinted across the upper floor landing and snatched Lily back away from the ledge.
She scooped the crying child into her arms and held her tightly against her protective chest.
Victoria immediately turned around with a look of pure theatrical terror painted across her face.
She grabbed her own hair and began sobbing loudly to make herself appear like a victim.
Downstairs the heavy front double doors burst open as Richard stepped into the main foyer.
He froze in complete shock at the sight of broken crystal scattered across his floor.
His eyes darted upward to see his new maid holding his weeping child near the balcony.
Victoria ran down the wide grand staircase screaming frantic allegations with every single step she took.
Victoria: Richard thank God you are finally home to save us from this dangerous maid!
Richard: What on earth happened to my mother's precious crystal vase on the floor?
Victoria: She was completely careless and left the safety gate wide open on the second floor!
Victoria: She almost let our precious little daughter tumble over the edge of the railing!
Richard: Is this true Elena did you put my child in severe physical danger today?
Richard stepped forward with absolute fury in his eyes and a deep frown on his face.
Elena held Lily even tighter while keeping her composure as steady as a solid rock cliff.
She looked down from the balcony directly into the eyes of her powerful multi-millionaire employer.
Elena: Sir every single word coming out of your wife's mouth is a complete lie!
Elena: She pushed that vase herself and unlatched that gate to set me up completely!
Victoria gasped dramatically and held her chest as if she had been stabbed with a knife.
Victoria: How dare you accuse me of such evil acts inside my own happy home!
