Mark walked toward the shade of the patio umbrella so he could see the screen clearly.
Elena stood beside him while keeping a defensive posture between Clara and the helpless infant.
The digital video file loaded on the small screen after a brief moment of loading pause.
Mark pressed the play button and watched the recorded footage from ten minutes prior to the incident.
The video clearly showed Clara standing near the edge of the pool while holding little Leo.
She looked around the yard twice to verify that nobody was watching her from the terrace.
She did not slip or lose her balance on the smooth marble floor at any point.
The camera captured the exact second her fingers intentionally released their hold on the baby shirt.
Mark let out a low sound of pure disbelief as he watched the horrible moment replay.
Mark: You really did it on purpose, Clara!
Clara turned around quickly and began sprinting toward her sports car parked in the paved driveway.
Clara: You will never prove anything in a court of law with that blurry camera footage!
Mark immediately hit the speed dial button for the local police department on his mobile phone.
Mark: I need emergency officers sent to my house right now for an attempted child harm!
Elena ran toward the heavy iron driveway gate to press the manual security locking switch button.
The thick metal bars swept shut before Clara could reach her luxury car in the driveway.
Clara beat her red painted nails against the metal fence while screaming out in pure desperation.
Clara: Let me out of here before you ruin my entire life over a stupid mistake!
Elena stood near the lock button with her arms crossed firmly over her wet blue uniform shirt.
Elena: You tried to end an innocent life for money, and now you will face justice!
Mark brought Leo inside the air-conditioned living room to wrap him in a dry fleece blanket.
The sound of distant police sirens began to echo down the long paved country neighborhood road.
