Arthur pressed the buttons on the remote control with firm and steady fingers.
The wall-mounted screen flickered for a second before showing bright video footage.
The footage showed the private gallery hallway from just five short minutes ago.
The camera angle clearly captured Victoria grabbing Mia's dress near the wooden cabinet.
Every guest in the foyer watched the clear high-definition recording in absolute silence.
They saw Victoria yank the pink ribbon and raise the sharp crafting scissors threateningly.
They heard the crisp audio recording of Victoria yelling cruel words at Mia.
Victoria on video: You will never belong in this house or in his heart!
The guests gasped in deep disgust as the video played out for all to see.
Victoria stood frozen on the marble floor as her face lost all its color.
Her hands began to tremble as she realized her dark secret was completely exposed.
Arthur turned away from the screen and looked at Victoria with pure contempt.
Arthur: You lied to my face every single day about loving my daughter.
Victoria: Arthur, I was just stressed out, please forgive me this once!
Arthur: You showed no mercy to an innocent child who lost her real mother.
Mia held her father's hand tightly as she stood safely beside his side.
The guests began to murmur indignantly against Victoria's cruel and heartless behavior.
Several prominent business leaders shook their heads in shame at Victoria's actions.
Victoria tried to approach Arthur, but he held up his hand to stop her.
Arthur: Do not take another step toward me or my daughter tonight.
Victoria: Please, we can talk about this privately in the study upstairs!
Arthur: There is nothing left for us to talk about ever again, Victoria.
Arthur pulled out his mobile phone from his dark navy suit jacket pocket.
He dialed his family attorney while looking directly into Victoria's fearful eyes.
Arthur: I am calling my divorce lawyer and calling security to remove you.
Victoria fell to her knees on the marble floor, weeping out of shame.
The crowd of guests stepped back from her, offering no comfort or sympathy.
