It was still connected to my cloud account.
Later that night, after speaking with my attorney, I accessed the synchronized backups.
More than thirty videos were saved there.
In one, Jessica was on her knees scrubbing tile grout with a tiny brush while Carmen mocked her from behind the camera.
“Just look at her complaining about being tired when her hard-working husband fully supports her every single day,” Carmen laughed in the recording.
Another showed Olivia struggling to wring out a heavy wet towel over a bucket.
“Squeeze it harder, because if you are old enough to play with toys, you are certainly old enough to clean this house,” my mother demanded harshly.
In another recording, Jessica quietly asked whether she could eat after spending six hours preparing food for Carmen’s guests.
“You will eat only after all of my guests have been properly served and satisfied,” Carmen snapped cold-heartedly.
