The security guard stepped forward and handed the bright tablet directly to Richard Sterling.
Richard held the screen with shaking hands, his eyes scanning the clear video footage carefully.
On the high-definition display, the event on the upper landing played back in crisp detail.
The video clearly showed Victoria cornering little Leo near the top of the grand stairs.
It showed her aggressive gestures, her angry face, and the violent push that followed.
It showed the boy slipping and tumbling down the steep marble stairs helplessly in terror.
It also showed Elena running across the foyer to catch the falling child in time.
Richard's breath caught in his throat as a wave of deep fury swept over him.
He looked up from the tablet screen, his face twisted in absolute horror and hatred.
Victoria tried to step backward, her confident facade crumbling into complete and utter panic.
Victoria: Richard, please, let me explain what happened!
Richard: You put my son in danger inside my own home!
Victoria: It was an accident! He made me lose my temper!
Richard: You are a monster!
Richard charged forward aggressively toward Victoria, his loud footsteps echoing through the hall.
Victoria backed away hastily, but her high heels caught against the edge of the carpet.
Richard confronted her directly, his face inches away from hers as he shouted in anger.
Richard: You will never set foot in this house ever again!
Victoria: You cannot throw me out! I am your wife!
Richard: My lawyers will file for divorce before the sun goes down today!
Victoria began to cry real tears now, realizing that her luxurious life was over forever.
She reached out to grab Richard's sleeve, begging for another chance with a desperate voice.
Richard shoved her hand away roughly, turning his back on her with total disgust.
He motioned to his two security guards, who stepped forward instantly to block her path.
Richard: Escort her out of the gates immediately!
Victoria: Richard, please! Think about our reputation!
Richard: Take her away right now! You are going to pay for this!
