The giant front double doors of the mansion swung open with a heavy sound.
Arthur Sterling stepped inside the foyer carrying his black leather briefcase in hand.
He had returned home early from his business meeting to pick up important legal documents.
His expensive gray suit was sharp, and his face looked tired from long hours.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he saw his nanny weeping on the floor.
Arthur: What is the meaning of all this noise in my house?
Elena looked up from the floor, her face wet with warm salty tears.
She pointed her trembling finger up toward the upper balcony landing behind her.
Elena: Sir, she intentionally tried to push your baby off the balcony!
Arthur's eyes widened in sudden disbelief as he looked at the frightened young maid.
A dark shadow of fury crossed his strong face as his jaw clenched tightly.
Arthur: What did you just say to me right now?
Elena: She unlocked the safety gate and pushed his walker toward the stairs!
Evelyn came running down the grand staircase with loud, exaggerated sobbing noises.
She held her hand against her scratched cheek, looking terrified and deeply hurt.
Evelyn: Do not listen to this crazy woman, Arthur darling!
Arthur: Tell me what happened up there immediately!
Evelyn: I caught her trying to steal my gold jewelry from the master bedroom!
Evelyn: When I threatened to call the police, she pushed me against the wall!
Evelyn: She nearly dropped Leo down the stairs while trying to run away!
Arthur looked back and forth between his young wife and his emotional nanny.
Elena shook her head frantically as more tears spilled down her soft red cheeks.
Elena: That is a complete lie, Mr. Sterling!
Elena: I have never stolen anything from your home in my life!
Evelyn: Check her apron pockets right now if you do not believe me!
Evelyn pointed at the front pocket of Elena's white fabric uniform with confidence.
Elena reached into her apron pocket and felt a heavy metallic object inside it.
She pulled out a diamond necklace that belonged to Arthur's late first wife.
Her mouth fell open in complete shock as she stared at the bright jewels.
Evelyn had slipped the expensive necklace into her pocket during the hallway struggle upstairs.
