Victoria immediately tried to control the situation by rushing toward her wealthy husband.
"Arthur, darling, please do not listen to this ungrateful child or the crazy maid!" Victoria cried out.
"The boy tripped over his own clumsy feet on the slippery marble steps!"
"I tried to catch him, but Clara attacked me out of nowhere!" Victoria sobbed loudly.
Clara stood tall and raised her arm, pointing directly toward the upper staircase landing.
"Look at the security feed, Mr. Wilmossen!" Clara shouted urgently to the father.
"She deliberately pushed your son from the top landing to cause him harm!"
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she remembered the high-tech security system.
Arthur had installed motion-activated security cameras throughout the mansion modernizing project last year.
One high-definition camera was mounted right above the upper staircase landing near the flag.
Arthur turned his head slowly toward the lead police officer standing right beside him.
"Officer, please check the security monitor in my private office immediately," Arthur instructed quietly.
The officer nodded briskly and walked quickly down the side hallway toward the office.
Victoria backed away slowly toward the front entrance doors, her hands shaking uncontrollably.
"Arthur, please, let's talk about this in private without these servants around," Victoria pleaded desperately.
Arthur stood motionless, holding his weeping son firmly against his dark suit jacket.
The silence inside the grand entryway felt heavy, tense, and suffocating for everyone present.
A few moments later, the police officer walked back out with a severe expression on his face.
"Mr. Wilmossen, the digital recording shows everything clearly," the officer reported gravely.
"The suspect deliberately shoved the young child down the stairs with clear physical intent."
