Elena stepped closer and tried to snatch the crying infant back roughly.
Sarah turned her body quickly to shield the baby with her shoulder.
Sarah: Do not touch him again with your cold hands!
Elena: Give me that baby right now or you are fired!
Sarah: You can take my job, but I will not let you hurt him!
Elena raised her sharp hand to strike Sarah across her pale face.
Suddenly, the heavy front doors downstairs slammed open with a loud bang.
Arthur had forgotten his important business documents on his dark office desk.
He walked briskly up the wide marble staircase toward the grand nursery.
He heard the loud shouting and the baby's sharp crying echoing loudly.
He pushed the nursery door wide open and stepped into the room.
His face turned pale when he saw the emotional chaos before him.
Arthur: What on earth is happening in my home right now?
Elena changed her face instantly, putting on a sad, fake crying expression.
She wiped fake tears from her smooth cheeks with her delicate hand.
Elena: Oh Arthur, thank goodness you came back home so soon!
Elena: This crazy maid dropped our poor little baby on the floor!
Sarah stood up slowly from the hard floor, holding Leo very carefully.
Her knees shook violently, but her dark eyes were filled with strong courage.
She was done being afraid of this terrible, cruel woman's lies.
Sarah: That is a complete lie, Mr. Sterling!
Sarah: Sir, she threw your baby into the air on purpose!
Arthur: What did you just say to me, Sarah?
Sarah: I caught him in my arms right before he hit the ground!
Arthur stood completely still as the painful words settled inside his mind.
He looked closely at Sarah's red, tear-stained face and dirty apron knees.
Then he looked at his wife, whose hands were shaking with sudden panic.
