Arthur froze completely as he heard his young son's heartbreaking accusation against his fiancée.
He looked down at Leo's teary face, seeing the pure terror still visible in his eyes.
"She pushed you?" Arthur repeated softly, his voice dropping into a dangerous, low tone.
Victoria clutched Arthur's arm tighter, her hands shaking as panic finally began to set in.
"He's just confused, Arthur! Children lie when they fall!" Victoria insisted in a rushed voice.
"Check the staircase security cameras, Mr. Williamson!" Clara spoke up loudly and clearly.
"There is a camera mounted right above the American flag pointing directly at the steps."
Victoria's eyes darted upward toward the high ceiling corner where the lens was mounted.
She had completely forgotten about the state-of-the-art security system installed throughout the mansion.
Arthur did not wait another second to verify the terrifying truth about the woman.
He pulled out his phone and tapped the security application connected to his house cameras.
The screen instantly loaded the clear digital footage from just five short minutes ago.
Arthur watched the video clip in complete silence as the crowd held its collective breath.
He saw Victoria bend down to threaten his vulnerable little boy on the top stair.
He saw her deliberately push Leo down the slick marble steps with cruel intent.
He saw Clara sprint across the floor and make the brave, sliding catch at the bottom.
A dark, terrifying wave of rage washed across Arthur's handsome face as he put his phone away.
He slowly turned his head to look directly into Victoria's panicking, desperate eyes.
"You monster," Arthur whispered, his hands clenching into tight, rigid fists at his sides.
Victoria backed away slowly, bumping into the bottom step of the grand marble staircase.
"Arthur, please, let me explain! It was just a terrible mistake!" Victoria begged, her fake tears now real.
"You tried to kill my son in my own home!" Arthur roared with terrifying strength.
He stepped forward instantly, his explosive anger breaking through years of calm restraint.
Arthur delivered three furious, stinging slaps across Victoria's face in rapid succession.
The heavy impacts snapped her head from side to side, shattering her arrogant composure completely.
