Sarah reached the bottom of the grand staircase just in time.
She caught little Leo tightly in her arms before he could tumble down.
The boy burst into loud frantic tears from the sudden scary surprise.
Sarah pulled him close against her beige silk blouse to comfort him.
She trembled violently as she wrapped her arms around his small back.
Her tears spilled over her cheeks onto his clean white romper outfit.
Evelyn stood at the top of the stairs watching with cold eyes.
She adjusted her royal blue dress calmly without showing any immediate concern.
Suddenly, the heavy double front doors slammed open with a loud bang.
Mark rushed into the foyer after hearing the sharp frantic screams inside.
He dropped his expensive leather briefcase directly onto the cold marble floor.
His eyes widened in utter shock as he saw the chaotic scene.
Mark: What happened here?!
Sarah turned around while holding the crying child tightly in her arms.
She pointed a shaking finger straight up toward the top staircase landing.
Sarah: She pushed him toward the stairs!
Sarah: She tried to hurt our baby on purpose!
Mark gasped as he looked from Sarah up to his wife Evelyn.
Evelyn immediately put on a fake look of deep sorrow and panic.
She rushed down two steps while frantically shaking her head in defense.
Evelyn: Don't listen to her!
Evelyn: It was a complete accident!
Evelyn: The nanny is lying to ruin my marriage with you!
Sarah shook her head furiously as fresh tears ran down her face.
Sarah: I saw your hand push the rug toward his feet!
Sarah: You stood there and watched him lose his balance!
Mark felt a heavy knot form deep inside his stomach as anger rose.
He loved his son more than anything else in the entire world.
The thought of anyone harming little Leo made his blood boil rapidly.
He looked back and forth between the two women in total shock.
The large American flag on the grand wall stood behind them quietly.
The house was filled with the echoing sound of Leo's crying.
Mark stepped forward toward the staircase with a stern furious expression.
He demanded absolute honesty from everyone standing in the grand room.
Mark: Tell me the absolute truth right now!
Evelyn tried to take Mark's arm with a desperate soft touch.
Evelyn: Mark, darling, you know how much I love Leo!
Sarah: Check the security cameras mounted in the hallway ceiling!
Evelyn froze completely when Sarah mentioned the hidden ceiling cameras.
