Ethan looked at his wife and then at the trembling young nursemaid.
His face turned red with anger as he took in the whole situation.
Victorine: Ethan! Oh thank goodness, it was just a total accident!
Victorine tried to smile and stepped forward toward her wealthy husband.
Clara: Sir, she intentionally dropped his crib blanket and abandoned him!
Clara stood her ground despite the intense fear inside her heart.
Ethan stepped past Victorine and dropped to his knees before Clara.
He looked at his crying son and checked his arms for injuries.
Ethan: Is he alright, Clara? Did he get hurt at all?
Clara: I caught him in time, sir, but she wanted him gone.
Ethan stood up slowly and turned toward his wife with fierce glare.
Ethan: I heard your phone call earlier today from my car speaker.
Victorine froze in place as the blood drained entirely from her face.
Ethan: I set up security recording software in the study last week.
He pulled a small electronic tape recorder from his dark coat pocket.
The recorded audio played Victorine's harsh words clearly across the hall.
Her plot to steal the inheritance and abandon the child was exposed.
Ethan: You married me only for my estate and my financial power.
Victorine: Ethan, please listen to me, I can explain everything!
Ethan: Guards, escort this woman off my property right now!
The two security guards stepped forward and grabbed Victorine's arms firmly.
She screamed in frustration as she was dragged toward the heavy doors.
The truth was finally revealed in front of the entire household staff.
