The screen of Alexander's phone lit up as the camera system loaded the footage.
He tapped the screen to replay the security footage from five minutes earlier.
Victoria tried to take a subtle step backward toward the main house doors.
Alexander caught her movement out of the corner of his eye and pointed sharply at her.
Alexander: I said stay right where you are, Victoria!
He focused his eyes on the small phone screen as the video began to play clearly.
The camera angle showed the entire patio in bright, crystal-clear daylight under the sun.
On the screen, he saw the baby resting peacefully inside the blue stroller by the pool.
Then, he watched as Victoria stepped out from the terrace wearing her emerald-green gown.
There was no maid anywhere near the stroller in the recorded video frame.
Alexander watched in growing horror as Victoria approached his sleeping, innocent child.
The video clearly showed her dark face as she raised her hand toward the baby.
She reached out and forcefully shoved the entire stroller directly into the deep pool water.
Alexander's hands began to shake violently as the terrible reality hit his mind.
A second later on the video, Hannah ran out of the house holding a bottle.
She did not pause for even a second before diving headfirst into the deep water.
Alexander watched Hannah pull his struggling son to safety with total, selfless bravery.
The video ended, leaving a deafening silence across the entire sunny patio area.
Alexander lowered his smartphone slowly, his knuckles turned completely white from tension.
The anger inside him shifted from the innocent maid to the cruel woman standing nearby.
Victoria backed away, her hands trembling as she tried to form a fake smile.
Victoria: Alexander... the camera angle is misleading... I was trying to save him!
Alexander: You malicious liar!
Alexander stepped forward, consumed by explosive fury upon discovering the whole truth.
He delivered a powerful, resounding open-hand slap across Victoria's shocked face.
The impact knocked her off balance, sending her crashing down onto the wet marble deck.
Her emerald gown soaked up the pool water as she gasped in complete terror.
