Arthur stared at the unplugged computer on his large dark desk.
He looked at Victoria, whose chest was heaving with tense, shallow breaths.
Then he looked at Elena, whose eyes were filled with desperate honesty.
Arthur: Why would she want to check the security footage, Victoria?
Victoria: She wanted to delete the video of her pushing our boy!
Elena: If I pushed him, why would I ask you to watch it?
Elena: Plug it back in and watch what happened with your eyes!
Arthur walked slowly toward the wall and plugged the cord back in.
Victoria's face turned pale white as the monitor hummed back to life.
The system took a full minute to boot up the recorded files.
Arthur clicked on the camera angle that pointed directly at the pool.
The video recording showed the full bright sunny backyard in high clarity.
On the screen, Elena was seen exiting the kitchen carrying the tray.
Leo was sitting peacefully near the blue water in his wheelchair.
Victoria stepped up behind him and checked to see if anyone watched.
Then, the video clearly showed Victoria pushing the chair into the deep pool.
Arthur gasped loudly as he watched his wife commit the terrible act.
He saw Elena drop her tray and jump in immediately to rescue Leo.
The video played the entire rescue scene without a single moment missing.
Arthur turned around to face Victoria with total shock and white rage.
Arthur: You tried to take my son away from me!
Victoria: It was an terrible accident, I swear to you!
Arthur: The video shows you shoved him with all your strength!
Elena: She wanted his trust fund money all for herself!
Victoria backed away toward the open office door in complete panic.
Her fake sweet mask had completely shattered into tiny irrecoverable pieces.
Victoria: You care more about that boy than you care about me!
Arthur: He is my flesh and blood, and you are a monster!
Arthur reached for his desk phone to call the police department immediately.
Victoria turned around and sprinted down the hallway toward the front door.
She wanted to escape before the sirens arrived at the estate gates.
Elena moved quickly to make sure the cruel woman could not flee.
