Ellen immediately dropped to her knees beside the crying toddler on the floor.
She wrapped her arms around Leo and held him close to comfort him.
The maid looked up at Mark with tears flowing freely down her cheeks.
Ellen: She hurts his heart every single time you leave this house, sir!
Mark: Tell me everything she has been doing while I was away at work.
Ellen: She locks him in his playroom for hours without any toys or light!
Victoria: She is lying to you because she wants a bigger monthly paycheck!
Ellen: I have recorded video clips on my own phone as proof, Mr. Davis!
Mark knelt down on the cold checkered floor next to Ellen and Leo.
He gently pulled his sobbing son into a tight and loving fatherly embrace.
Leo hid his small face in his father's expensive black tuxedo jacket sleeve.
Leo: She said you were never coming back to love me again daddy.
Mark: I will always come back for you, my sweet little hero.
Mark picked up his child and stood up to face Victoria with cold determination.
Victoria tried to step closer with her hands raised in a fake pleading gesture.
Victoria: I was only trying to discipline him so he grows up strong!
Mark: You were terrorizing a toddler and abusing my trust in my home!
Victoria: We are getting married next month, so you cannot ruin this now!
Mark: The wedding is canceled, and you are leaving this property this instant.
Victoria: You signed a prenup agreement that guarantees me financial support if we split!
Mark: That legal agreement is completely voided due to your abusive actions today.
Victoria's eyes narrowed into a look of pure hatred and deep financial greed.
She realized that her chance at inheriting his multi-million dollar estate was gone.
Victoria: You cannot prove anything in a court of law without solid evidence!
Mark: My security cameras recorded every single sound and action from today.
Ellen pulled her phone from her apron pocket and showed the screen to Mark.
The video clearly showed Victoria snatching food and toys away from little Leo.
Mark felt a deep wave of anger wash over his heart at the betrayal.
