Clara marched into the room with two large security guards standing close behind her.
A triumphant smile spread across her cold face as she saw Elena backing away.
Elena held the baby safely behind her back as she stood near the high window.
Clara: Hand over that phone and step away from the window right now, girl!
Elena: Arthur knows everything! He is on his way back to this house right now!
Clara laughed loudly, but a sudden flicker of nervous fear flashed in her eyes.
Clara: You are lying! His flight took off over two full hours ago from the airport!
Elena: He never got on that plane because he felt something was wrong here!
Clara turned to the two security guards with an angry and desperate shout.
Clara: Grab that woman and take the child away from her immediately, you fools!
The guards looked hesitant because they knew Elena was a kind and honest nanny.
They had worked for the Sterling family for years and respected the late mother.
Guard: Ma'am, we cannot put hands on the nanny or the employer's young child.
Clara: I pay your salary now, so you will do exactly what I tell you!
Guard: Mr. Sterling pays our security firm, and we answer only to his orders.
Clara turned red with intense rage and stepped forward to grab Elena herself.
She reached out her long hands to snatch the crying baby away from Elena's arms.
Elena blocked her path firmly, refusing to let the wicked stepmother touch the boy.
Elena: You will have to go through me before you touch this innocent child!
Clara: I will ruin your life and make sure you never work again in this city!
Suddenly, the sharp sound of screeching tires echoed from the long driveway outside.
A sleek black luxury sedan pulled up to the main front entrance at full speed.
The heavy front doors of the mansion were slammed open with a powerful crash.
Heavy and furious footsteps pounded rapidly across the shiny marble floor of the foyer.
Clara froze in place as the commanding presence of her husband filled the room.
Arthur stepped into the library wearing a sharp blue suit, his eyes full of anger.
He looked at Clara with absolute disgust as he took in the whole scene.
Arthur: Step away from my son and my nanny right now, Clara!
