Julian's eyes widened in total shock as he looked between his wife and the maid.
Victoria rushed up to Julian, grabbing his dark jacket with shaking hands.
Victoria: I tried to stop her, Julian, but she lost her mind!
Victoria: She threw Leo over the edge because she wanted money from us!
Sarah stood up slowly from the cold floor, holding the crying baby tight.
Her knees were bruised and bleeding through her thin uniform tights.
She looked straight into Julian's eyes without any fear or hesitation.
Sarah: Sir, do not listen to a single word she says!
Sarah: She deliberately dropped your son from the top railing to destroy him!
Victoria: Shut up, you worthless liar! You are just a servant!
Julian: Silence, both of you!
Julian walked slowly toward Sarah, looking down at his terrified child.
He saw the dust on Sarah's dress and the heavy scrapes on her knees.
He also noticed that Victoria had no marks on her skin or hands at all.
Julian: Sarah, give me my son right now.
Sarah carefully handed little Leo over to his father's arms.
Julian held the boy close, feeling the baby's racing heart beat against his chest.
Julian: Tell me exactly what happened here, Sarah.
Sarah: Sir, look at the corner of the grand foyer ceiling.
Sarah pointed up toward a tiny black dome camera mounted near the tall light fixture.
Sarah: You had that new security system installed just last week.
Sarah: Check the live feed on your smartphone right now.
Victoria's face instantly turned completely white as sheet paper.
She had forgotten about the high-definition security cameras Julian put in the house.
Julian reached into his suit pocket and pulled out his black smartphone.
He opened the security application and clicked on the foyer camera playback.
The video clearly showed Victoria holding the baby over the edge of the balcony.
It showed her pushing the child into the empty air with a cold smile.
It also showed Sarah diving across the marble floor to catch the falling child.
Julian's jaw tightened as dark anger filled his eyes.
He looked up from the screen and turned his gaze slowly toward Victoria.
Victoria: Julian... wait, I can explain everything to you!
Julian: You tried to kill my only child in my own home!
Victoria: It was an accident! I lost my grip on his blanket!
Julian: The video shows you smiling as you dropped him!
Julian stepped toward Victoria, his voice trembling with deep fury.
Julian: You are a absolute monster, Victoria!
Victoria took a step back, but her back hit the solid wood of the stairs.
Julian: Get out of my sight before I completely lose my control!
