The mansion was filled with guests when young Lily stood quietly beside her mother.
Everyone was dressed for an important family celebration, but Lily looked frightened.
Her mother, Victoria, suddenly stepped toward her.
Victoria: Lily, tell everyone what you did.
Lily looked around the room, confused.
Lily: I didn't do anything.
Victoria shook her head and pointed toward a missing jewelry box.
Victoria: It disappeared from my room this morning.
The guests immediately began whispering.
Lily's eyes filled with tears.
Lily: I never touched it.
Before she could explain anything else, Lily stumbled and fell onto the marble floor.
The room suddenly became completely silent.
