Two police officers were standing on the front marble entryway tiles.
Victoria was trying to explain her side with fake light tears.
Victoria: Officer, it was just a terrible household accident, I swear!
Officer Miller: Ma'am, we need to review the backyard security footage.
Mark walked down the hallway holding a flash drive in hand.
Mark: Here is the complete video file of the entire event.
Victoria: Mark, how could you betray your own legal wife like this?
Mark: You betrayed my innocent daughter the moment you touched her.
Officer Miller inserted the drive into his portable police tablet screen.
He watched the video frame by frame with a stern expression.
The clip clearly showed Victoria shoving Lily toward the pool.
It showed her standing idle while the child sank underwater helpless.
Officer Miller: Victoria Vance, you are under arrest for reckless child endangerment.
The second officer stepped forward and pulled out silver metal handcuffs.
Victoria gasped loudly as her hands were snapped behind her back.
Victoria: You cannot arrest me, I am a prominent business owner!
Officer Miller: You have the right to remain silent right now, ma'am.
The party guests watched in silence as Victoria was led away.
Her gold silk dress was rumpled as she entered the patrol car.
The police car drove down the quiet suburban street with lights flashing.
David walked out onto the front porch next to Mark softly.
David: I am filing emergency divorce and restraining order papers tomorrow.
Mark: Make sure she never comes near my home or child again.
David: She will be facing serious criminal charges in county court.
Mark felt the heavy weight lift off his tired shoulders completely.
He turned around and walked back inside to his daughter.
