Within minutes, Clara was standing outside the mansion gates, clutching her small suitcase. The sting of humiliation ran deep. The staff stood by in silence as she was led out, their hushed whispers trailing behind her like a shadow.
By that evening, gossip had already spread through the neighborhood. The story was quick to take root—and brutal: the maid had stolen from the billionaire. For Clara, it was a nightmare. She had no proof of her innocence, no one to stand up for her.
What Clara didn’t realize, though, was that Richard’s estate wasn’t just protected by gates and high-end security systems. Discreet cameras were hidden throughout the mansion—devices even Richard often forgot were there. And one of them, a tiny lens tucked behind a book in the library, had captured everything.
