Richard rushed toward the pool edge with horror written all over his pale face.
He saw his wet wife climbing out of the pool while Elena held the baby.
Richard: What happened here?! Is Lily alright?! What did you do, Elena?!
Evelyn: She tried to drown our baby, Richard! She pushed the stroller right in!
Evelyn fell onto her knees on the wet tile, crying fake tears very dramatically.
Evelyn: I jumped into the cold water to save her, but Elena snatched her!
Elena: That is a complete lie! She pushed the empty stroller to frame me!
Richard: Keep quiet! Give me my daughter right now, Elena!
Richard snatched baby Lily safely into his strong arms, checking her small body carefully.
The baby was completely dry and unharmed because Elena had caught her just in time.
Elena: Look at Lily, Mr. Sterling! She is not even wet at all!
Elena: Your wife unlocked the brakes and shoved the stroller toward the water deliberately!
Evelyn pointed a shaking finger at Elena while standing up on the wet tiles.
Evelyn: Fire her immediately, Richard! She is insane and very dangerous to us!
Richard: I want the absolute truth from both of you right this second!
Elena: Check the new security camera mounted right up under the roof pillar!
Evelyn froze completely in her tracks as soon as Elena mentioned the camera.
Her face lost all its color, turning as white as a fresh bed sheet.
Evelyn: That security camera has been broken for months, Richard, ignore her!
Richard: I had the security company fix all the yard cameras yesterday afternoon.
Richard pulled his black smartphone out from his pocket with steady, cold hands.
He tapped the screen quickly to open the live security feed app for the patio.
Evelyn made a sudden step toward him, trying desperately to grab the phone away.
Evelyn: Richard, please, do not look at that silly recording right now!
Richard stepped back sharply and raised his hand to stop her from coming closer.
He played the clear high-definition video footage from two short minutes ago.
The high-resolution screen clearly showed Evelyn reaching down to release the wheel locks.
It captured the exact moment she maliciously pushed the stroller toward the deep pool.
It also showed Elena bravely sprinting forward to snatch baby Lily safely to safety.
