The atmosphere inside the grand hallway turned ice cold in a fraction of a second.
A deep rumble of intense anger surged through Julian's body as he stood up slowly.
He held baby Leo securely with his left arm while glaring at Victoria.
His jaw clenched tightly, his face twisting into furious rage as the truth hit him.
Julian: Is this how you behave the moment my back is turned?
Victoria: Julian, darling, you must listen to me, she is lying to you!
Victoria: She dropped the baby and I was only trying to protect him!
Elena shook her head frantically, wiping fresh tears from her bruised cheek.
Elena: I would never drop him, Mr. Vance, check the security cameras!
Victoria's eyes widened in sheer panic when Elena mentioned the security cameras.
She had forgotten that Julian had installed hidden high-definition cameras in every hall.
Julian stepped forward, his eyes burning with intense disappointment and absolute fury.
Julian: How dare you lay a hand on the people in my house!
Victoria: Julian, please, I am your fiancée, you cannot believe a maid over me!
Julian: You are no longer my fiancée, you are a complete monster!
Julian raised his voice so loudly that the entire security team stepped inside the hall.
He motioned for the head security guard, Marcus, to approach immediately.
Julian: Marcus, pulled up the live footage from the hallway camera right now.
Marcus quickly pulled out his security tablet and opened the live playback feed.
He handed the tablet to Julian, showing clear high-definition footage of the entire incident.
The video clearly showed Victoria yelling, throwing the baby bottle, and striking Elena.
It also showed her roughly pulling baby Leo and talking about taking his trust fund.
Julian watched the video with growing disgust, his heart breaking for his child.
He turned back to face Victoria, who backed away against the tall marble pillar.
Julian: You came into my home pretending to love my family for my wealth.
Victoria: Julian, I love you, please give me another chance!
Julian: You will never set foot near my son or my estate ever again!
Julian turned to his lead security guard with a cold and firm command.
Julian: Escort this woman off my property immediately and call my legal team.
Victoria began weeping hysterically, realizing that her grand scheme had completely failed.
The two security guards stepped forward and firmly took Victoria by her arms.
They led her out of the grand entrance as she screamed and pleaded for forgiveness.
The heavy front doors slammed shut, bringing silence back to the mansion.
