Doctor Evans arrived within twenty minutes and examined young Leo in the living room.
The doctor confirmed that Leo only suffered a mild bruise on his knee.
Mark: Thank you doctor for coming over on such short notice today.
Doctor Evans: Keep ice on his knee and make sure he rests for today.
Sarah carried Leo upstairs to his bedroom so he could rest comfortably now.
Mark walked straight into his high tech security monitoring office near the entry.
Victoria followed him into the room while wringing her slender hands nervously together.
Victoria: Mark, there is no need to review any high definition security footage.
Mark: Sit down right there and do not say a single word to me.
Mark booted up the central security camera software on his wide desktop screens.
The high angle camera in the upper hallway had a crystal clear view.
Mark hit the play button and focused on the exact timestamp from earlier.
The video clearly showed Victoria extending her leather shoe directly into Leo's path.
It showed the toddler tripping forward while Victoria stepped back without helping him.
Mark pointed his finger directly at the bright computer monitor screen in anger.
Mark: You extended your foot deliberately right as he walked past you today!
Victoria turned completely pale as she stared at the undeniable video evidence recorded.
Victoria: I was just trying to stop him from running toward the stairs!
Mark: He was not running at all, he was walking slowly beside Sarah!
Sarah walked into the security room after settling Leo down in his bed.
She looked at the recorded video loop playing on the clear glass screen.
Sarah: Why would you do something so cruel to an innocent little child?
Mark pulled out a thick yellow folder from his heavy mahogany desk drawer.
Mark: She did it because my attorney sent the revised trust papers yesterday.
Victoria swallowed hard and looked down at the dark carpeted floor below.
Mark: You knew that Sarah and Leo were named as sole trust beneficiaries.
Victoria: That trust fund belonged to our father and should stay with us!
Mark: Our father left this entire estate to me to protect our future.
Sarah took Mark's hand gently and squeezed it with quiet emotional strength.
Sarah: Your greed made you view a sweet little boy as an obstacle.
Victoria stood up tall in her red dress and tried to save face.
Victoria: You cannot prove any criminal intent from a simple brief security clip!
Mark: I do not need a trial to remove you from this house immediately.
