Arthur smiled coldly at Elena and pulled out his smartphone from his inner suit pocket.
He opened the security application connected to the hidden cameras installed throughout the entire home.
He had upgraded the home security system just last month after a minor break-in nearby.
A high-definition camera was mounted discreetly in the light fixture directly above the top balcony landing.
Arthur tapped the screen to play back the live recording from fifteen minutes prior in real time.
The video clearly showed Elena grabbing Lily by her shoulders near the wooden railing forcefully.
It captured Elena prying the toy out of Lily's small hands and tossing it over the side.
The video showed Elena giving the small girl an intentional shove toward the dangerously low edge.
Elena watched the video playback on the phone screen as her jaw dropped in absolute horror.
Her lies were completely stripped away in front of Arthur and the entire household staff.
She began to stammer and apologize, claiming it was just an accident that got out of hand.
Arthur told her that her words meant nothing now that he had physical evidence of her crime.
He instructed his head security guard to stand at the top of the stairs and watch her.
He carried Lily down the grand staircase into the quiet living room away from the commotion.
He placed his daughter gently on the soft leather sofa and wrapped a warm blanket around her.
He called his personal attorney to begin immediate divorce proceedings and cancel all her credit cards.
He also dialed the local police department to report the reckless endangerment of his child.
Elena ran down the stairs screaming that Arthur was destroying her life over a minor mistake.
The security guards blocked her path to the front door until the police cruisers arrived outside.
