The clear high-definition video played smoothly on the large glass computer monitor screen.
It showed Victoria walking down the grand staircase in her bright red gown.
It showed little Leo crawling peacefully on the soft white rug below her.
Then, the footage clearly captured Victoria stopping and looking down at the child.
Her harsh mouth twisted into a cruel sneer on the bright digital display screen.
She clearly raised her foot as if to strike or shove the small child.
Arthur gasped loudly in horror, his hand gripping the edge of the wooden desk.
The video showed Elena sprinting across the room to rescue the defenseless baby boy.
It captured Victoria lifting the heavy golden vase high up into the air angrily.
And it showed her throwing it directly down near the maid and small infant.
Every single brutal detail was recorded with crystal clarity from three different camera angles.
There was no way to deny what had actually taken place inside that hallway.
Arthur turned away from the screen, his face pale with shock and deep betrayal.
He looked at his wife, who was cowering near the heavy wooden office door.
Arthur: How could you do something so monstrous to our own sweet child?
Victoria: Arthur, please listen to me, I was just so overwhelmed and lonely!
Victoria: You pay more attention to that boy than you ever pay to me!
Victoria: I just wanted you to notice me again like you used to!
Arthur: You threatened the life of an innocent baby out of sheer petty jealousy!
His voice shook with a powerful rage that made the whole room grow cold.
Arthur: You are not a real mother, you are a cold heartless monster!
Victoria began to weep loudly, falling down to her knees upon the carpet.
Victoria: Please forgive me, Arthur, I promise I will go to counseling today!
Victoria: Don't throw away our marriage over a simple mistake like this one!
Arthur: Trying to harm a defenseless child is not a mistake, Victoria!
Arthur: It is a cruel crime that I will never forgive as long as I live!
He turned his back on her and walked over to stand right next to Elena.
He looked at the brave housekeeper with deep respect and overwhelming gratitude in his eyes.
Arthur: You saved my son when his own mother turned against him today.
Arthur: I can never repay you enough for what you did in that hall.
Elena: I only did what any decent human being would do, Mister Sterling.
Elena: Little Leo deserves to be loved and protected from any kind of harm.
Arthur nodded slowly, making a firm decision that would change all their lives.
He turned back toward his crying wife who was still kneeling on the floor.
Arthur: You will leave this house right now and never return to my sight.
Arthur: I am calling my lawyers immediately to begin divorce proceedings against you.
Victoria: You can't take away my home and my luxury life like this!
Arthur: I can and I will, because you have proven yourself completely unfit!
He pressed the security intercom button again with a firm and steady thumb.
Arthur: Guards, come to my office right now and escort Victoria off the property.
