The heavy oak double entrance doors slammed open with loud force.
Arthur Sterling walked into the foyer carrying his leather executive briefcase.
He stopped dead in his tracks under the large American flag.
He saw his wife in red satin shouting at his frightened maid.
He saw his little daughter crying intensely in Elena's protective arms.
Arthur: What on earth is going on in my house?!
Victoria changed her posture immediately and forced fake tears into her eyes.
She rushed toward Arthur with her hands outstretched in fake drama.
Victoria: Darling, thank goodness you are finally home from your trip!
Arthur: Why is my daughter crying on the floor, Victoria?
Victoria: This crazy servant attacked me and tried to steal from us!
Elena stepped forward calmly with total strength in her posture.
She showed no fear toward the wealthy mistress of the home.
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Sterling.
Victoria: Do not listen to a single word from this peasant!
Elena: Look at this video footage on my phone right now, sir.
Arthur dropped his heavy leather briefcase onto the white marble floor.
He took the smartphone from Elena's hands with growing concern.
He pressed the play button on the clear high-definition screen.
He watched his wife locking his helpless daughter in a dark room.
He watched Victoria shouting at the weeping child without any mercy.
His jaw tightened as pure rage filled his clear grey eyes.
Arthur: Is this how you treat my daughter when I leave?
Victoria: Darling, she set a trap to destroy our happy marriage!
Arthur: The camera does not lie, you wicked, deceitful woman!
Arthur's voice boomed through the high ceilings of the mansion foyer.
Victoria backed away toward the tall marble wall in absolute terror.
She had never seen her calm husband this angry in her life.
Victoria: I was just trying to discipline her properly for you!
Arthur: You abused my trust and hurt my innocent baby girl!
Arthur walked toward Victoria with his hands clenched into tight fists.
The atmosphere in the grand foyer was heavy with deep tension.
Elena held little Lily closer, comforting her with soft gentle pats.
The child was finally starting to feel safe in the room.
Arthur turned back toward his trembling wife with cold determination.
Arthur: You will leave this property right now before I call police!
