Evelyn glared at Elena with intense bitter hatred filling her dark eyes.
She reached down to grab the handle of the soft baby carrier basket.
Elena immediately put both of her strong hands firmly on the carrier handle.
Evelyn: Let go of that basket right now or you will regret it!
Elena: You are not taking this child anywhere without his father's personal permission!
Evelyn shoved Elena forcefully back against the polished dark wooden dresser.
Elena stumbled slightly on the smooth floor but refused to let go completely.
The heavy friction shook the delicate silver picture frames resting on the dresser.
A framed photograph of Julian and his late wife crashed onto the hard floor.
The sharp glass shattered into small shiny pieces across the soft woven rug.
Evelyn did not care at all about the broken family memory beneath her feet.
She yanked the soft carrier basket with all of her physical strength once again.
Evelyn: He is just a silly little brat standing between me and millions!
Elena: He is an innocent child who deserves real love and true protection!
Evelyn pointed a long sharp manicured finger directly into Elena's frightened face.
Evelyn: Nobody in this town will believe a poor working maid over me!
Elena: The truth always finds a clear way out into the open light!
Evelyn laughed loudly with a cold mocking sound that filled the nursery room.
She grabbed Elena's black uniform collar and pulled her roughly toward the door.
Elena held tight to the soft baby blanket to shield the small infant.
Baby Leo began crying much louder from all the intense noise and commotion.
Evelyn dragged the carrier basket out into the wide black and white hallway.
The black and white checkered marble floor reflected the bright afternoon sunlight.
Elena fell to her knees on the cold tile while blocking the main stairs.
She used her own body as a human wall to prevent Evelyn from descending.
Elena: You will have to walk over me before you leave this house!
Evelyn: You are an annoying little pest who does not know her place!
Evelyn raised her heavy leather purse and swung it wildly at Elena's shoulder.
The sharp metal strap buckle clipped Elena's collarbone with a loud painful thud.
Elena winced in sharp pain but held her protective position right on the floor.
She kept her eyes fixed on the crying baby wrapped tightly in white linen.
Evelyn leaned down close to Elena's ear with a furious burning glare.
Evelyn: I will destroy your life if you keep interfering with my future!
Elena: You can try to ruin me, but you will never harm this child!
Downstairs, the heavy front wooden entrance door suddenly creaked open with force.
Quick heavy footsteps echoed rapidly up the grand polished marble staircase below.
Julian Sterling had turned his luxury car around after receiving the open phone call.
His personal assistant had played the live audio call directly over his car speakers.
Julian's face was completely pale with pure shock and rising immense anger.
He reached the top landing just as Evelyn shouted another nasty direct threat.
Julian: What on earth is going on in my home right now?!
