Arthur rushed into the bright hallway after hearing the loud crying and slamming doors.
He dropped his dark briefcase onto the floor when he saw Sarah sitting down.
Sarah looked up at her wealthy employer while pointing her finger toward the upper floor.
She told him immediately that Elena had deliberately pushed his young son over the edge.
Arthur stopped in his tracks as his face shifted into intense surprise and rising anger.
He looked from Sarah on the floor up toward the empty balcony area above.
Elena rushed quickly down the grand spiral staircase with her long beige gown trailing behind.
She shouted loudly at Arthur that the young maid was telling horrible lies about her.
Elena claimed that Sarah had dropped the baby herself while trying to carry him upstairs.
Arthur walked fast across the room with a cold expression in his dark brown eyes.
He stopped right in front of Elena before she could finish her frantic excuse line.
Arthur confronted his wife about her cold behavior toward his son over recent weeks.
He raised his voice in furious anger that filled the giant high foyer ceiling.
Elena stumbled back against the grand wooden handrail in utter shock and growing fear.
She tried to reach for Arthur's hand but he pulled away from her touch instantly.
He yelled at her to leave his family house immediately and never return again.
Arthur promised to cut her off completely from all bank accounts and legal documents.
Elena clutched her pale face as tears of embarrassment ruined her expensive makeup.
She realized that her comfortable position in the wealthy Sterling family was totally gone.
Sarah watched from the floor as the dramatic truth finally came out into the light.
