Victoria gasped loudly as the audio recording played out in the room.
Richard's voice on the recording asked if the accident was finally done.
Victoria had promised to eliminate the baby so they could split the estate.
With Sofia gone, Victoria would file for divorce and claim the whole fund.
Richard would take full control of the multimillion-dollar corporate board of directors.
Ethan stared at Victoria as if he had never seen her real face before.
The woman he thought he loved had planned to destroy his whole life.
Victoria: Ethan, please! He forced me into doing this whole thing!
Ethan: You tried to kill my daughter for money!
Ethan stepped forward rapidly, his jaw clenched tightly with pure, fiery anger.
He confronted Victoria directly, his shadow falling over her champagne dress.
Victoria: You can't prove anything in a court of legal law!
Ethan: The whole recording is saved on the secure cloud server!
Victoria turned around fast and tried to run toward the front door entrance.
Ethan moved quickly and stepped right into her path, blocking the exit.
He did not touch her violently, but his presence completely stopped her cold.
Ethan: You are not leaving this mansion until the police arrive here.
Elena backed away safely near the bottom of the grand marble stairs.
She rocked baby Sofia back and forth until the child stopped crying completely.
The infant rested her small head against Elena's warm grey uniform apron.
Victoria began to cry fake tears, falling down onto her hands and knees.
Victoria: Please, Ethan! Think of our family name and public reputation!
Ethan: You destroyed this family the moment you touched my child.
Ethan pulled out his own cell phone and called the local police station.
He reported the attempt on his child's life with absolute cold authority.
He also called his top divorce lawyer to freeze all personal shared accounts.
Victoria realized her life of luxury and endless wealth was completely over.
She lay weeping on the cold marble floor as siren sounds grew closer.
