Marcus's face instantly twisted into dark, venomous fury as he stood up slowly.
He cradled his small child securely against his shoulder with one steady arm.
The room became dead silent as the full weight of the accusation landed.
Marcus: How dare you ever touch my family like this!
Victoria took a quick step backward, her hand clutching her delicate gold necklace.
Victoria: She is lying to you, Marcus, she wants to steal my position here!
Elena: I am not lying, check the security cameras installed in the upper hallway!
Victoria froze completely, forgetting that Marcus had updated the estate security system.
The smart cameras recorded every single room, saving the footage to a private server.
Marcus turned to his head security officer standing near the grand double entrance.
Marcus: Access the local storage files from the past two weeks immediately.
lowered her head, realizing her desperate deception was finally coming to an end.
The security guard pulled out a tablet and tapped the screen several times quickly.
Within seconds, clear high-definition video footage began playing on the tablet screen.
It showed Victoria yelling at the child and mistreating the dedicated house staff.
It showed her striking Elena when the brave maid tried to intervene previously.
Marcus watched the video screen, his jaw tight with overwhelming anger and regret.
He realized how blind he had been to the danger inside his home.
Marcus: You pretended to love my child just to access my family inheritance.
Victoria: Marcus, please, we can talk about this in our private office!
Marcus: There is nothing left for us to talk about, your time here ends today.
He pointed firmly toward the open front door of the large Texas mansion.
Victoria looked around the room, finding zero sympathy from anyone present today.
The guards stood ready to enforce the master's strict orders without hesitation.
