The next morning arrived with clear skies over the city.
Elena dressed in a simple black dress and navy jacket.
She carried a sealed envelope containing the saved video drive.
Thomas drove his silver sedan straight to the Vance estate gates.
He pushed the security intercom button near the driver window.
Intercom: Who is visiting the Vance residence this morning?
Elena: It is Elena, and I have urgent legal documents for Mr. Vance.
The iron gates opened slowly after a long silent delay.
Thomas parked the car near the wide front stone steps.
Richard Vance opened the heavy oak double doors himself.
His face darkened when he saw Elena standing on his porch.
Richard: I told you never to return to this property again!
Elena: You need to look at this video evidence, Mr. Vance.
Richard: I have nothing to say to a careless maid.
Victoria walked into the foyer wearing a pristine white suit.
Victoria: Why is this woman standing on our doorstep, Richard?
Victoria: Call the police and have her arrested for trespassing!
Thomas: If you call the police, they will see this video first.
Thomas held up his tablet screen displaying the paused video frame.
Richard frowned and stepped closer to look at the screen.
Richard: What is that image on your screen?
Elena: It is the recording from your East Pool hedge camera.
Victoria's face turned completely white as paper.
Victoria: That screen is fake! They edited that image!
Richard: Silence, Victoria! Press play on the video, sir.
Thomas tapped the play icon on his glass screen interface.
The high-definition video began playing with clear natural sound.
Richard watched Victoria push the stroller with her own hands.
He watched Elena dive fearlessly into the cold pool water.
He heard Victoria lie to his face seconds after the event happened.
Richard turned slowly to face his trembling wife.
Richard: You lied to me about everything yesterday.
