Arthur held up his hand to stop the shouting and turned directly toward Sarah.
Arthur: Sarah, you have served this family faithfully for over six whole years.
Arthur: Tell me exactly what you saw with your own eyes on those stairs.
Sarah: Mrs. Williamson grabbed Leo's arm and deliberately tripped him near the top landing.
Elena: That is absolute slander, Arthur, she is trying to destroy our new marriage!
Sarah: Check the staircase security cameras immediately, Mr. Williamson!
Elena: The foyer camera has been broken since Monday, as the repair note stated!
Elena smugly pulled a fake maintenance receipt from her leather purse to show her husband.
She thought she had successfully covered every single detail of her wicked trap.
Sarah looked directly at Marcus, the head of household security who stood by the door.
Sarah: Marcus, access the auxiliary feed from the framed American flag on the south wall.
Elena's face went completely pale, her confident posture instantly collapsing into visible panic.
Elena: What auxiliary feed, what are you talking about right now?
Marcus quickly pulled out his secure tablet and logged into the encrypted home server.
Within seconds, clear high-definition footage appeared on the lit glass screen in bright colors.
The video clearly showed Elena grabbing young Leo's arm with unnecessary physical force.
It showed her deliberately placing her high heel behind his small foot to trip him.
It captured the entire event in crystal-clear detail under the bright daylight of the foyer.
Arthur stared at the screen, his chest heaving as immense heartbreak turned into pure fury.
He looked up from the tablet, his eyes locking onto Elena with absolute disgust.
Arthur: You absolute monster, how could you ever do this to a helpless child!
Elena: Arthur, please, it was an awful mistake, I was just trying to discipline him!
Arthur: You put my son in danger for your own selfish greed and hatred!
Elena stepped backward toward the grand marble steps, her hands shaking uncontrollably with fear.
The web of lies she had carefully built had completely unravelled in front of everyone.
Marcus stepped forward, placing his heavy hand firmly on Elena's shoulder to prevent escape.
The golden dream of luxury and control was officially over for the cold socialite.
