Mark carried Clara down the stairs and set her safely on the sofa.
He called his personal lawyer, David, to come to the mansion immediately.
David arrived within thirty minutes carrying a heavy leather briefcase under his arm.
The lawyer listened carefully as Mark explained everything that happened on the balcony.
David: If she threatened Clara, we can file an emergency restraining order today.
Mark: I want a divorce, and I want her off my property forever.
David: We should check the indoor security cameras to back up our claims.
Mark remembered he had installed motion-sensor security cameras high near the foyer ceiling.
He walked over to his study computer and brought up the morning video recording.
The clear camera footage showed Victoria clearly grabbing Clara and throwing her toy.
It captured her cold smirk and the deliberate way she frightened the young girl.
Mark's teeth clenched tightly as he watched the video play across the screen.
David: This footage is complete evidence of child endangerment and physical abuse.
David: She will not get a single penny from your estate or trust fund.
Suddenly, the sound of glass breaking resonated from the rear master bedroom hallway.
Mark and David stood up instantly and walked cautiously toward the rear corridor.
Victoria was inside the master suite, tearing through the wooden wall safe frantically.
She was grabbing stacks of cash and expensive diamond jewelry from the shelves.
Mark: What do you think you are doing with my family heirlooms?
Victoria spun around holding a velvet jewelry box tightly against her chest.
Victoria: I deserve compensation for the time I wasted in this miserable house!
Mark: You are taking things that belonged to my late wife Clara's mother!
Victoria: I do not care about your past! I am taking what is mine!
David stepped forward and held up his mobile phone showing an active call.
David: The police officers are entering the main gates right now, Victoria.
Victoria dropped the velvet box onto the bed, her face turning pale white.
