His expression was grave.
“Sir, you need to see this.”
The businessman slowly looked up.
The officer pressed play.
Security footage from the staircase appeared on the screen.
Everyone gathered around.
The elegant woman turned pale.
The video showed the grandmother carefully descending the stairs.
Holding the railing.
Then—
a figure appeared behind her.
The elegant woman.
Several staff members gasped.
The footage continued.
The woman looked around nervously.
Making sure nobody was watching.
Then she reached forward.
And shoved the elderly grandmother.
The room erupted.
“No…”
A maid covered her mouth.
A security guard stepped backward in shock.
The businessman stared at the screen.
Unable to breathe.
Unable to look away.
The footage replayed again.
And again.
There was no mistake.
No accident.
No misunderstanding.
The woman had pushed her.
Deliberately.
Tears filled the businessman’s eyes.
His hands clenched into fists.
The elegant woman began shaking.
“It’s not what it looks like!”
Nobody believed her.
The evidence spoke for itself.
The police officer stepped forward.
Calm.
Professional.
And placed handcuffs around her wrists.
“You are under arrest for attempted murder.”
The metallic click echoed through the mansion.
The woman broke down.
Crying.
Begging.
Desperately trying to explain.
But it was too late.
The businessman never looked at her.
His attention remained on his mother.
The person who had loved him his entire life.
The person who had sacrificed everything for him.
Moments later—
a nurse hurried back into the foyer.
A smile appeared on her face.
Relief flooded the room.
“She’s awake.”
The businessman closed his eyes.
A tear rolled down his cheek.
For the first time since the fall—
he could finally breathe again.
Without hesitation—
he rushed toward the ambulance.
The grandmother looked weak.
But alive.
She smiled softly when she saw him.
“My boy…”
The businessman knelt beside her.
Holding her hand tightly.
“I’m here, Mom.”
Around them—
staff members wiped tears from their eyes.
Even the police officers looked emotional.
The woman responsible was escorted away.
Her lies exposed.
Her betrayal revealed.
And as the ambulance doors slowly closed—
the businessman squeezed his mother’s hand.
Knowing that money could buy many things.
But nothing was more precious than family.
And this time—
he would spend the rest of his life protecting the woman who had always protected him.
