The security guards looked at the open iron cage and then back at Victoria.
They realized immediately what horrifying act their employer had committed tonight.
The senior guard pulled out his radio and called the local police department.
Victoria yelled at the guards, threatening to fire them both on the spot.
Neither guard stepped forward to touch Marcus or his young child.
Marcus walked past Victoria without saying another single word to her.
He carried Ethan into the main mansion living room, surrounded by wealthy guests.
The partygoers gasped in shock as they saw the trembling child and father.
Marcus loudly announced to the entire room what Victoria had done outside.
The wealthy investors backed away from Victoria in deep disgust and disapproval.
Within ten minutes, police sirens echoed down the long driveway of the estate.
Two police officers walked into the foyer and put handcuffs on Victoria.
She was led away in front of all her business partners and powerful friends.
Marcus sat on the plush sofa, wrapping Ethan in a warm wool blanket.
The corporate lawyer approached Marcus and offered his full legal support for free.
He promised to make sure Victoria faced the full consequences of the law.
Marcus thanked the lawyer, but his mind was focused only on his son.
He carried Ethan out to their car under the soft glow of the night lights.
He buckled Ethan carefully into his seat and sat right beside him.
Ethan stopped crying and squeezed his father's hand with a soft smile.
Marcus knew their life would change, but their bond was stronger than ever.
