Julian stared at the tiny security camera in total silence.
He had installed those hidden cameras two full years ago.
Only he knew the password to access the recorded files.
Victoria stepped forward and touched Julian's dark coat sleeve.
Victoria: Julian, you cannot believe a simple house worker.
Julian: I believe in cold hard facts, Victoria.
Elena: Check the video from two o'clock today, sir.
Julian pulled his high-end smartphone out of his jacket pocket.
His thumb moved quickly across the smooth glass screen.
He opened the security application connected to his home network.
Victoria tried to grab the phone out of his hand.
Victoria: Stop this ridiculous nonsense right now, Julian!
Julian: Back away from me right now, Victoria.
Julian tapped the screen to play the afternoon recording.
The video showed the grand entrance hall at two o'clock.
In the video, Victoria was holding the small crying baby.
She looked extremely angry as the child kept crying loudly.
She pulled the baby's arm roughly to sit him down.
Then she yelled at Elena to keep scrubbing the floor.
Elena had tried to step in and save the baby.
Victoria had pushed Elena away toward the hard wall.
The video clearly showed everything that had happened that day.
Julian's hands began to shake with deep unexpressed anger.
He looked up from the screen at his trembling wife.
Julian: You hurt our son and lied to my face.
Victoria: I was overwhelmed! He would not stop crying all day!
Julian: That is no excuse to treat a child like that!
Elena stayed quiet on her knees near the soft rug.
Tears of relief flowed down her pale tired cheeks.
She was glad that the truth had finally come out.
Julian turned to Elena with a soft look in his eyes.
Julian: Stand up, Elena. You do not need to scrub.
Elena: Thank you, sir. I was so afraid for him.
Julian: You protected my son when no one else would.
Victoria backed toward the main stairs with wide eyes.
She realized that her comfortable life was changing very quickly.
Victoria: Julian, please let us talk about this privately upstairs.
Julian: We have nothing left to talk about in private.
Julian pulled out his phone again and dialed a number.
He placed the phone against his right ear immediately.
Julian: Send my divorce lawyer to the house right now.
Victoria: You cannot divorce me over a small mistake!
Julian: This is not a mistake. This is the end.
The baby stopped crying and looked up at Julian's face.
Julian held his son tight against his broad warm shoulders.
He knew that he had to protect his family now.
Victoria began to cry tears of panic and anger.
She realized that her wealth and status were fading fast.
Julian walked past her without saying another word to her.
He looked at Elena and gestured toward his personal office.
Julian: Follow me, Elena. We need to make new arrangements.
