The police and paramedics arrived within ten minutes to examine the crying infant.
Little Lucas was completely unharmed thanks to Elena's brave and rapid rescue effort.
The officers took Victoria into the main office room to ask her detailed questions.
Mark sat on the leather couch in the living room, staring at the floor.
Elena brought him a warm cup of tea to help soothe his nerves.
"Thank you, Elena," Mark said softly, his voice trembling with deep emotion.
"If you had not moved so fast, I would have lost everything today."
"I only did what any person would do, sir," Elena answered quietly.
She hesitated for a moment before pulling a folded paper from her pocket.
"I found this in the hallway nursery earlier this morning, Mr. Montgomery."
Mark took the paper slowly, expanding the clean white page with his thumbs.
It was a legal letter from an established probate lawyer in the city.
The document revealed that Mark's late father had left a secret trust fund.
The millions of dollars belonged entirely to Lucas upon his first legal birthday.
However, if something happened to the child, the money transferred to Victoria.
Mark read the black letters twice, his jaw tightening into a hard line.
"She knew about this inheritance," Mark whispered, his face turning pale white.
Elena lowered her head, feeling the heavy sorrow filling the vast living room.
The sweet life Mark thought he was building was built on dark lies.
Victoria had married into the family with an ulterior motive from the start.
Now the horrifying incident on the balcony made complete and terrible sense.
