Chapter 13 - The Law Firm Scandal
By 4:00 PM, the nanny cam video of Evelyn slapping baby Emma was leaked to the managing partners of Mark’s law firm.
The firm, Harrison & Sterling, represented major Fortune 500 corporations and prided itself on flawless ethical standards.
Mark was called into the corner office of the senior founding partner, a imposing man named Richard Harrison.
Richard sat behind his dark mahogany desk, watching the video loop on his iPad with absolute disgust written on his face.
"Is this how your family conducts itself, Mark?" Richard asked, his voice dripping with icy contempt.
"Mr. Harrison, please! My wife edited that video! It’s a domestic dispute!" Mark stammered, sweat soaking his dress shirt.

"Your wife didn't edit your mother’s hand striking an infant while you sat there sipping water like a coward, Mark."
"Pack your desk. You are terminated from this firm effective immediately, and the state bar ethics committee has been notified."
