Marcus looked up at the high balcony when he heard the loud crying.
He rushed up the wide grand staircase three steps at a time in shock.
Marcus: What happened up here, what is all this crying about?
Victoria immediately put on a fake terrified expression on her pale face.
She rushed down two steps toward Marcus with her hands reaching out dramatically.
Victoria: Oh Marcus, she slipped from my hands near the brass edge!
Victoria: I tried to grab her, but the foolish girl lost her balance!
Sarah stood up proudly on the balcony holding Lily safely in her arms.
Tears of anger and stress fell down the honest maid's hot red cheeks.
Sarah: Sir, she threw her on purpose to harm your daughter!
Victoria: How dare a low maid make such terrible false accusations against me!
Marcus looked back and forth between his crying daughter and his wife.
He felt confused and deeply shaken by the wild scene in his home.
Marcus: Sarah, think very carefully before you say another single word.
Sarah: I recorded her phone call just thirty minutes ago in your office.
Sarah pulled her mobile phone out and pressed the loud playback button instantly.
Victoria's clear voice echoed through the high sunlit marble foyer very loudly.
The clear recording played every word about the trust fund and the accident.
Victoria's face turned completely white as the awful truth filled the room.
Marcus turned his head slowly to glare at his treacherous gold-wearing wife.
The fake innocence disappeared completely from Victoria's eyes in an instant.
She realized her greed had destroyed everything she had worked to gain.
