The screen displayed clear video footage of the top balcony from ten minutes ago.
Richard watched the recorded video as Victoria raised the child over the wood rail.
He saw his wife intentionally open her fingers and let the toddler drop down.
He watched Elena sprint into view and slide across the floor to save her.
Deep anger surged through Richard's veins as the video reached its dramatic end.
He raised his gaze from the phone screen to look directly at Victoria.
Richard: How dare you try to hurt my daughter?!
Driven by intense rage, Richard confronted his wife without hesitation.
He pushed her backward away from the staircase with a harsh shove.
Victoria stumbled on her high heels and dropped onto the hard marble floor.
Victoria: Richard, please! It was an accident!
Victoria: The railing was slippery, I lost my grip for a split second!
Richard: I saw the video with my own eyes, you let go on purpose!
Victoria clutched her shoulder while trembling in sheer terror on the ground.
Victoria: I just wanted your full attention without the child around!
Victoria: We can work this out, please don't ruin my life over this!
Richard turned to look at the large American flag hanging near the entryway.
He took a deep breath to regain control of his shaking voice.
Richard: Get out of my house before I call the police!
Elena stood up slowly while holding little Lily securely against her chest.
The child was finally stopping her heavy crying as the father approached them.
Richard reached out his arms and took his small daughter into his embrace.
He kissed the child's forehead repeatedly while tears filled his own eyes.
Richard: You saved her life today, Elena.
Elena: I would never let anything bad happen to this sweet girl, sir.
Victoria scrambled to her feet and grabbed her expensive leather purse.
She looked around the grand hall, realizing her position of luxury was gone.
Victoria: You can't just throw me out without my inheritance rights!
Richard: The prenuptial agreement you signed voids everything in cases of felony crime.
