Clara noticed suspicious documents left open on the mahogany desk yesterday afternoon.
The papers showed plans to change the baby's legal custody status.
Victoria wanted full control over the family trust fund and inheritance money.
She planned to send the young boy away to a distant boarding school.
Clara hid behind the tall curtains as Victoria spoke on her phone.
Victoria talked to a corrupt lawyer about altering Ethan's official legal will.
She laughed quietly as she mentioned taking total control of the estate.
Clara knew she had to record proof before Ethan returned home tonight.
She held her small phone carefully behind the polished oak doorframe.
The device captured every word of Victoria's harsh plot against the child.
Suddenly, Victoria turned around and caught Clara standing in the shadow.
Her face twisted with sudden rage as she marched across the floor.
She reached out and snatched the small phone right out of Clara's hands.
The phone dropped onto the hard floor and shattered into pieces.
Victoria grabbed Clara's arm with a firm and menacing grip.
She threatened to fire Clara without any pay or good recommendation.
Clara pulled her arm back and stood up straight without showing fear.
She looked straight into Victoria's eyes with steady determination.
The battle for the child's future had officially begun right there.
Clara swore she would tell Ethan the complete truth that evening.
