Sarah guided young Leo down the safe side of the marble stairs toward the spacious lower entrance foyer.
Elena followed right behind them, her face twisted with bitter rage and intense, unstoppable greed.
Elena: Hand over that child right now, or I will make sure you are arrested for kidnapping!
Sarah: Don't you ever dare touch him again or come near him ever again in your life!
Elena: You are just a hired servant who does not belong in this family's grand lifestyle!
Sarah: I may be a maid, but I protect this child with every ounce of my strength!
The heavy oak front double doors suddenly burst wide open with a loud, echoing bang across the foyer.
Arthur Whitman rushed into the main hall flanked by two uniform local police officers and emergency detectives.
He took one look at his crying son and the intense showdown happening beneath the high chandelier.
Mr. Whitman: What is going on here in my house right now?
Leo: Daddy! She pushed me down the stairs to hurt me while you were gone!
Elena: Arthur darling, the maid is lying and trying to turn your own son against me!
Sarah: Check the hidden security cameras mounted inside the stairwell molding, Mr. Whitman!
Arthur's expression turned as cold as ice as he looked from Elena to the loosened staircase handrail.
He turned to the lead police officer standing right beside him near the front marble archway.
Mr. Whitman: Access the high-definition security server in my private office immediately, officer!
Elena's face drained of all color as she remembered the discreet security camera hidden near the ceiling.
She turned around quickly and tried to sprint back toward the heavy wooden rear service exit doors.
Mr. Whitman: Do not let that dangerous woman step one inch out of this entrance hall!
