Ethan tried to grab Richard's arm to pull him away from the maid.
Ethan: Richard, darling, listen to me. She wants to ruin our wedding!
Richard pulled his arm back forcefully, glaring down at his fiancée.
Richard: Touch him again and see what happens!
Ethan: You are taking her word over mine?
Richard: My son does not cry like this without a serious reason.
Sarah walked over to the side table where the iron was still plugged in.
She pointed to the position of the clothes and the couch cushion.
Sarah: Look at where she set the iron board, right next to his seat.
Sarah: I ran across the hall when I heard her screaming at him.
Ethan: She is lying! She wants your money and your trust!
Richard walked over to the wall near the living room entrance display.
He pointed up toward a tiny black lens hidden inside the smoke detector.
Richard: I installed security cameras in every room last month for safety.
Ethan's face turned completely pale as all the color drained away instantly.
She took a step back, her mouth open in absolute shock and silence.
Richard: We can check the phone application right now to see everything.
Richard pulled his smartphone out of his coat pocket with steady hands.
He opened the security application and tapped on the live footage recording.
The video clearly showed Ethan raising the steaming iron toward the child.
It showed Sarah sprinting into the room and pushing Ethan away just in time.
Richard's jaw clenched tightly as heavy fury took over his heart.
He looked up from the screen with cold, deadly eyes.
