Victoria's face turned completely pale as she looked at the screen.
She realized that her carefully planned scheme had failed completely.
Victoria: Ethan, stop the video right now!
She lunged forward blindly to snatch the smartphone from his hand.
Ethan stepped back quickly and blocked her movement with his arm.
Ethan: You tried to destroy my child for money!
Victoria: That estate was supposed to belong to my family!
She screamed violently at Ethan while flailing her arms around.
Her loud voice echoed off the high glass walls of the room.
The two officers moved in fast to grab her flailing arms.
Ethan stepped forward with intense fury written across his face.
He slapped Victoria hard across her cheek with his open hand.
The sharp smack sound echoed loudly throughout the sunroom.
Victoria gasped in total shock and stumbled backward two steps.
Victoria: How dare you hit me like that!
Ethan delivered a second hard slap across her face instantly.
The heavy impact knocked her completely off balance near the tank.
Victoria: Stop it, you are crazy!
She fell down onto her knees on the slippery marble floor.
The police officers grabbed both of her arms and pinned her down.
They pulled her arms behind her back to apply metal cuffs.
Officer: You are under arrest for attempted murder and child endangerment!
Victoria: Let go of me right now, you fools!
She kicked her legs violently against the cold floor tile.
The officers lifted her up and began dragging her away.
Her expensive green sequined gown scraped along the white floor.
Claire watched from the side while holding her breathing baby tight.
The crying child began to calm down against his mother's warmth.
Ethan turned away from Victoria without saying another single word.
He walked straight toward his wife and his trembling young son.
His eyes were filled with tears of deep relief and guilt.
He wrapped his strong arms around both of them tightly.
Ethan: I am so sorry I let her into our home.
Claire rested her wet forehead against his broad grey shoulder.
