Mark: The hallway camera... Victoria, you told me that camera was disconnected last week for maintenance.
Victoria: It was! It is disconnected! Don't listen to this crazy woman!
Evelyn: I saw the green recording light on when I was dusting the ledge this morning! The system was fully restored by the estate security team yesterday!
Mark: Evelyn, pull up the master control pad on the hallway wall. Enter code 4092.
Victoria: Mark, no! Stop this right now! You are humiliating me in my own home!
Evelyn quickly walked over to the digital panel mounted beside the mahogany pillar. Her fingers flew across the glass screen, entering the security pin Mark provided. The screen lit up blue, showing live and recorded feeds from across the luxury estate.
Evelyn: I have the balcony angle right here, Mr. Vance.
Mark: Play the last ten minutes.
Victoria rushed toward the wall panel, but Mark stepped firmly in her path, his voice turning ice-cold.
Mark: Stay right where you are, Victoria.
Victoria: Mark, please! We can talk about this in private! The stress of the lawsuit and the mortgage debts on the luxury estate... I haven't been in my right mind!
Mark: Play it, Evelyn.
Evelyn pressed the playback button on the glass screen. High-definition video began streaming on the panel's monitor. The video clearly showed Victoria holding baby Lily over the high balcony railing, her face twisted in anger. It captured the exact second Victoria opened her hands, letting the toddler fall toward the floor below.
Mark: You... you actually dropped her. My God, you tried to murder my daughter!
Victoria: It was an accident! She slipped!
Mark: The video shows you opening your fingers, Victoria! You pushed her forward!
