Ethan unlocked the smartphone screen using the shared family master code.
He tapped open the recent video files stored inside the memory folder.
A short twelve-second clip played clearly on the high-definition screen.
It showed Victoria staging the hot iron near the crying baby's cushion.
She was speaking into the microphone, pretending to discover a maid's error.
She said on video that Clara had left the iron unattended near Leo.
Ethan watched the footage twice as his hands began to shake wildly.
The sheer cruelty of the fake setup made his blood run cold.
She was willing to put their child at risk just for a lawsuit.
She wanted full legal custody and maximum alimony in a future divorce.
Ethan looked up from the screen with absolute fury in his eyes.
Ethan: You monster! You staged this whole thing for money!
Victoria: Ethan, please! It is not what it looks like at all!
Ethan: You put our tiny infant son in direct physical danger!
Victoria: I was never going to actually hurt him, I swear!
Ethan: You are a cold, heartless human being who deserves nothing!
Victoria took a step back, her expensive heels slipping slightly on marble.
She realized her entire lifestyle was crumbling right before her eyes.
Her high-society status and corporate marriage were completely destroyed today.
Victoria: If you throw me out, I will fight you in court!
Ethan: You will never set foot inside this house ever again!
Victoria: I will call my custody lawyer and sue for everything!
Ethan: You will be facing criminal charges for endangerment by nightfall!
Clara stood quietly by the doorway, holding her breath in silence.
She felt relief knowing that the truth had finally come out completely.
Ethan pointed a stern finger directly toward the large main entrance doors.
Ethan: Get your things and leave this property immediately!
Victoria: You cannot throw me out like trash, Ethan!
Ethan: You destroyed your own place in this family today!
