Mark took Lily to the family sofa and sat down.
He called the local doctor to come right away.
He examined his daughter's fingers with great care.
He felt a deep pain in his own heart.
He had left his child with a terrible person.
Victoria stood near the hallway looking very nervous.
She tried to soften her voice to sound sweet.
She said she was only teaching the girl discipline.
Mark told her to stay quiet and not move.
He pulled out his smartphone to review home cameras.
He had installed security systems all around the house.
Victoria turned pale when she saw the mobile screen.
She forgot that every room had a hidden camera.
Mark scrolled back to the morning security footage.
He watched Victoria force the child to scrub floors.
He saw his wife taking away the girl's food.
The evidence was clear and could not be denied.
Mark felt his blood boil as he watched more.
He looked up at Victoria with complete disgust.
He called his personal lawyer on the phone next.
He requested an immediate end to their marriage.
He demanded a full financial freeze on all accounts.
Victoria started to panic as her wealth vanished.
She begged Mark to think about their social standing.
She cared more about money than the small girl.
Mark told her that money meant nothing to him.
He cared only about the safety of his family.
The front doorbell rang out loudly through the hall.
The police had been called to the scene.
