Mark pulled back the thick blanket with shaking hands.
The stroller did not contain his infant daughter at all.
Instead, a heavy set of metal weight plates rested inside.
Beside the weights lay a thick stack of private financial papers.
Mark reached down and picked up the bound document package.
His eyes scanned the top page as his face lost all color.
It was a secret application for a massive property loan contract.
The papers transferred the title of his family estate to a hidden company.
Elena slowly stood up from the cold marble floor.
Elena: She was trying to destroy the evidence, Mr. Vance.
Mark: Chloe, what is the meaning of these legal documents?
Chloe: That housemaid is lying to you, Mark!
Chloe: She put those papers in there to frame me!
Elena: I saw you throw it from the top balcony railing.
Chloe grabbed Mark by his sleeve with a desperate look.
She pointed her finger straight at Elena's pale face.
Chloe: Fire her right now before she makes up more lies!
Mark pushed Chloe's hand away from his arm firmly.
He flipped through the legal pages with growing shock.
His forged signature appeared clearly at the bottom of every page.
The corporate seal belonged to a firm registered in another state.
Mark turned his back on Chloe and walked toward his private study.
Mark: Elena, come inside my office right away.
Chloe: You cannot trust a maid over your own wife!
Mark slammed his office door shut before Chloe could enter.
Elena stepped into the quiet room and closed the door behind her.
The heavy wooden door blocked out Chloe's muffled screams.
Mark sat down behind his wide dark oak desk.
He put his head in his hands and took a deep breath.
Mark: How long has this been going on, Elena?
Elena: I have seen strange men visiting while you were at work.
Mark looked up with cold eyes as he realized the truth.
