Arthur unlocked his phone screen with a quick swipe of his thumb.
He opened the high-definition security camera application connected to the estate system.
Last week he had installed new hidden wide-angle security cameras in every hallway.
He had not told anyone about the new cameras, not even his wife.
The digital display loaded the high-resolution live video feeds instantly on screen.
Arthur tapped the file icon for the foyer camera covering the main staircase.
He selected the exact recording timestamp from five minutes prior to his arrival.
Victoria's face turned completely ghost pale as she saw the smartphone screen.
Her dramatic weeping stopped instantly as absolute terror filled her brown eyes.
Victoria: No, please let me explain what happened, Arthur!
Arthur: Quiet down and let me watch this footage right now.
The crisp video playback clearly showed Victoria standing near the top stairs.
It captured her taking little Leo and deliberately holding him high near the edge.
The footage clearly showed Victoria loosening her hands and releasing the child.
It showed Sarah leaping forward with miraculous speed to make the save.
The camera captured Sarah catching the baby safely without a single scratch.
It also clearly showed Victoria forcefully slapping her own face to frame Sarah.
Arthur stared at the screen in utter shock, his jaw dropping in horror.
A low dramatic rumble of immense fury built deep inside Arthur's chest.
He raised his dark eyes slowly to look directly at his wife.
Victoria backed away slowly, her hands shaking uncontrollably with panic and shame.
Arthur: You risked our innocent son's life just to frame Sarah?
Victoria: I was desperate, Arthur, you were going to cut me off!
Arthur: You are a monster to put our child in danger!
Arthur lunged forward with explosive motion, shoving Victoria aggressively away from him.
She stumbled backward onto the velvet couch, sobbing hysterically in complete defeat.
Arthur: Get out of my house before I have you arrested!
Victoria scrambled off the couch and ran out the front doors sobbing bitterly.
The heavy mahogany doors slammed shut behind her, echoing through the foyer.
The grand hall became completely silent except for the baby's quiet breaths.
