Mark turned away from Victoria without saying another word immediately.
He carried Leo into the private study, holding him close.
Lily followed right behind her father, holding his belt loop.
Victoria hurried after them, her hands shaking at her sides.
Victoria: Mark, please, let us talk about this calmly!
Mark: Stay in the hallway until I view the screen.
Mark closed the study door firmly, locking out Victoria's excuses.
He sat down at his computer desk and opened the security program.
The screen lit up, showing multiple camera feeds around the estate.
Mark selected the foyer camera feed and rewound the time stamp.
He set the video play back to ten minutes earlier.
The video clearly showed Victoria walking out into the high hall.
Mark watched as little Leo crawled peacefully near the wooden stairs.
He saw Victoria look around the empty hall before acting fast.
The footage clearly captured her lifting her foot toward the child.
She deliberately shoved the baby down the marble stair steps.
Mark felt a wave of cold rage wash over his entire body.
He squeezed his eyes shut for a brief moment in disbelief.
His trust in his new wife was completely destroyed in seconds.
Lily: See, Dad? I told you she was mean!
Mark: You were brave to tell me the truth, Lily.
Mark saved the video file directly to a secure flash drive.
He picked up his phone and dialed his family lawyer.
Mark: Prepare the annulment papers and call the local police.
He hung up the phone and walked back into the hallway.
Victoria was pacing back and forth across the white marble.
She looked up nervously as Mark opened the heavy wooden door.
Victoria: Did you see that it was an accident?
Mark: Pack your bags and leave my house right now.
Victoria gasped as her face turned completely white with panic.
Victoria: Mark, you cannot throw me out like this!
Mark: The footage shows everything you did to my son.
Victoria realized her lies could no longer protect her anymore.
She dropped her gentle act completely, her eyes turning bitter.
Victoria: You care more about these kids than me!
Mark: They are my family, and you are a stranger.
