David froze in shock as he looked at the awful scene inside his foyer.
He saw his sweet baby son crying desperately on the bright marble floor.
He saw Victoria standing over the infant in her fancy crimson satin gown.
David rushed forward across the room as fast as his feet could move.
His heart was hammering wildly inside his chest with deep panic.
He dropped directly to his knees on the hard floor beside his son.
David gently gathered little Leo into his strong arms and held him tight.
The baby pressed his wet cheek against his father's grey suit jacket.
David exhaled a long breath of relief, kissing the boy's forehead lovingly.
Then he looked over and saw Clara kneeling near the grand staircase.
The poor maid was weeping hysterically with tears streaming down her face.
There was a clear red mark on her cheek where she was struck.
Maid Clara: She hurts the child every time you leave!
David felt a wave of boiling fury rise up inside his entire body.
He turned his head slowly to glare at Victoria standing above them.
Victoria's face turned completely pale as she realized she was caught.
Step-Mother Victoria: David, darling, she is lying to you!
Step-Mother Victoria: The maid was being careless and dropped the baby!
Maid Clara: That is not true, sir, I recorded everything on my phone!
Clara pulled a small black phone out from her blue apron pocket.
She handed the device to the police officer standing right beside David.
The officer played the video clip out loud for everyone to hear.
The speaker played clear audio of Victoria yelling meanly at baby Leo.
It showed Victoria admitting that she only married David for his wealth.
David stood up slowly, holding his small son securely in one arm.
