The heavy front doors of the grand mansion swung open suddenly.
A cold breeze blew inside the warm house from outside.
Richard Miller stepped through the large entrance into the foyer.
He was a wealthy business CEO who owned the estate.
He carried a heavy leather briefcase in his right hand.
Behind him stood two uniformed local police officers in silence.
Richard stopped cold when he saw his son crying heavily.
His sharp eyes took in the scene across the room.
His young wife stood near the stairs looking completely calm.
His faithful house maid stood shielding his only small child.
Richard: What is going on here right now?
His voice echoed off the high walls of the mansion.
Evelyn quickly changed her expression from cold to deeply worried.
She rushed toward her husband with fake teary eyes glowing.
Evelyn: Oh Richard it was just a terrible tragic accident!
Sarah: She is lying to you sir!
Evelyn turned around fast with a sudden look of shock.
Evelyn: How dare you accuse me of lying in my house!
Sarah: She laughed when your son fell down the stairs!
Richard walked closer to the middle of the large room.
He looked down at his crying son on the floor.
Leo pointed his small trembling finger straight at Evelyn now.
Leo: Daddy! Check the security cameras right now!
Evelyn turned pale for a short moment before hiding it.
Evelyn: The boy is confused because he hit his head dear.
Sarah: The cameras in the hallway saw everything clearly sir.
Richard: Officers please stand by the main doors for a moment.
The two officers nodded firmly and took their positions.
Richard set his heavy briefcase down on a glass table.
He walked straight to the wall controller near the study.
Evelyn moved quickly to try and block his path forward.
Evelyn: Richard you cannot seriously trust a maid over me!
Richard: Move out of my way right now Evelyn.
Evelyn: I am your wife and I love this boy!
Sarah: You wanted his inheritance money all for yourself!
Evelyn gasped loudly at the maid's sudden bold words.
Evelyn: That is an absolute lie and slander!
Richard pressed the security panel on the hallway wall buttons.
The small screen brightened up with blue light right away.
He selected the foyer camera feed from five minutes ago.
The video recording began playing on the clear screen.
Everyone in the room grew completely silent as it played.
The video clearly showed Evelyn shoving the small child hard.
It showed her stepping back and laughing as he fell.
Richard's jaw clenched tightly in deep silence and rage.
He turned away from the screen to face his wife.
The air in the room felt heavy and dangerous now.
Evelyn stepped back slowly toward the main stair railing.
Evelyn: Richard please let me explain what happened there!
Richard: There is nothing left for you to explain here.
Sarah: I told you the truth Mr. Miller.
Richard: Thank you for protecting my son today Sarah.
He turned his angry gaze back to his trembling wife.
The police officers stepped forward from the front entrance doors.
