David walked over to his private study room near the back of the mansion.
He unlocked the thick mahogany door and gestured for everyone to come inside.
Clara lingered near the entrance while tapping her foot on the polished floor.
Clara: This entire dramatic circus is completely unnecessary and offensive to my standing.
David: If someone endangered my child, I need to know every single detail.
Sarah set Lily down gently on a soft leather armchair near the window.
Sarah: Mr. Sterling, please check the footage from ten minutes past nine o'clock.
David sat down at his computer desk and quickly pulled up the system video.
Clara crossed her arms and stared out the large glass window with annoyance.
Clara: You are wasting precious time when you should be escorting her out.
David rewound the clear high definition video feed to the exact time requested.
The screen showed the upper landing near the grand wooden staircase banister clearly.
It showed Clara walking out of her bedroom holding a small velvet envelope.
It showed Clara placing the toy train right near the top step deliberately.
David's jaw clenched tightly as he watched the footage play in high detail.
He saw Sarah sprint from the lower hall to catch Lily before she fell.
David: My goodness, you placed that toy there on purpose to create chaos.
Clara turned around fast with a defensive scowl written across her red face.
Clara: That video feed is totally misleading and does not show my true intention!
David: The video shows you setting a trap and lying about my maid!
Sarah: Why would you want to frame me for something so deeply horrible?
David stood up from his leather chair as absolute fury filled his eyes.
David: What was inside that velvet envelope you were holding in the video?
Clara clutched her red silk robe tightly around her waist without answering him.
Clara: That is my personal property and none of your business at all!
David stepped around the wide desk and walked straight toward his defensive wife.
David: Everything in this house that threatens my child is my direct business.
He noticed the corner of the velvet envelope peeking out from her pocket.
He reached down and pulled the legal documents out before she could react.
Clara: Give those back to me right now, you have no right!
David opened the official papers and scanned the bold titles at the top.
His face went completely pale as he realized what she had been planning.
