The Maid Who Saved the Dallas Estate Heir

Richard: The police are here. Victoria, do not make a scene in front of the officers.

Victoria: You’re not actually going to tell them the truth, are you?! Richard, I’m your wife!

Richard: You were my wife. The moment you endangered our daughter and lied to put an innocent woman in jail, we were finished.

Victoria: I’ll take half of everything you own! I’ll sue you for full custody of the estate and the trust fund!

Richard: You signed a strict prenuptial agreement, Victoria. And this video footage will ensure you never get a single penny or unsupervised custody.

Two uniformed Dallas police officers walked through the front doors, looking between the tense group standing in the grand foyer.

Officer Davis: We received a 911 call regarding a child endangerment dispute at this address. Who called?

Richard: I did, Officer. But the situation is different from what was initially reported.

Victoria: Officer! My husband is confused! This maid tried to drop my baby!

Officer Davis: Ma'am, please step back and let the homeowner speak.

Richard: My wife, Victoria, was extremely negligent and dropped our infant daughter from the second-floor balcony. She then tried to blame our maid, Sarah.

Victoria: That’s a complete lie! He’s trying to frame me to get out of our marriage!

Richard: Here is the high-definition footage recorded by our internal security system less than fifteen minutes ago.

Richard handed his phone directly to Officer Davis. The officer watched the recording carefully, his eyes narrowing as he saw the clear footage of Victoria dropping the infant and Sarah diving across the floor to catch her.

Officer Davis: Ma'am, turn around and put your hands behind your back right now.

Victoria: What?! You can't arrest me! Do you know who my family is?!

Officer Davis: You are under arrest for felony child endangerment and filing a false police report. You have the right to remain silent.

Victoria: Richard! Help me! Tell them to stop!

Richard: Talk to your divorce lawyer, Victoria. You’re done in this house.

The officers handcuffed Victoria and led her screaming out the front doors into the back of the patrol vehicle.
