The room fell into a hushed silence as the recording finished ying.
Edgar''s expression darkened. He was caught off guard by Debra''s unexpected move.
Debra met his gaze directly, her eyebrow raised in defiance. If he thought he could set her up, he was sorely mistaken.
Den and Melody exchanged confused nces, uncertain of what was going on.
Edgar took a deep breath, attempting to regain control. "Ms. Frazier, a recording alone doesn''t prove anything. Besides, everyone saw you push Jade down the stairs. That''s an undeniable fact."
Debra shrugged. "Mr. Odom, you misunderstand my intention. I don''t n to use this recording to prove I didn''t push anyone. I merely want to show that Miss ir tricked me into going upstairs by pretending to be Juan and said some rather bizarre things." Den interjected, "Even if Jade said something strange, it doesn''t prove you didn''t push her."
Melody chimed in, "Regardless, Debra killed my great-grandson. That''s a fact."
Pedro, feeling the weight of the usations, said, "Ms. Frazier, do you have any other proof? If not, I''ll have to take action."
With so many eyes on him, he couldn''t afford to be lenient.
Debra replied calmly, "Of course, I do."
A murmur of confusion rippled through the room.
Debra continued, her voice filled with assurance. "The incident happened on the second floor, which has surveince cameras. We just need to check the footage."
Melody''s brow furrowed. "What are you talking about? When did we have cameras on the second floor?"
Debra offered a slight smile. "Not before, but we do now."
Melody was puzzled. She didn''t know anything about that.
Sophie stepped out of the corner and handed a phone to Debra. "Madam, here''s the evidence."
Melody''s expression turned to one of shock. "Sophie? You..."
Debra took the phone and quickly navigated to the footage. She
swnow
showed it to Pedro, her voice steady. "Mr.Hardy, is this solid enough?"
Pedro watched the video, his expression changing from skepticism to disbelief.
Debra turned to the crowd and stated, "If you can''t see clearly, let''s turn on the projector."
She gave Sophie a nod, who swiftly set up the projector. Debra
connected the phone, and a shocking scene unfolded on the
screen.
The surveince video showed Shelia pulling on Debra''s hand before falling down the stairs.
Leah gasped in shock, covering her mouth. She couldn''t believe a
would use her unborne
Sa rival.
Whispers erupted among the guests.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.
"This is crazy. She used her child to frame Debra."
"I knew Jade was not a good person. She''s a mistress who would stop at nothing to get to her rival."
"Jade is heartless."
The murmurs grew louder, and the atmosphere in the room shifted palpably.
Both Den and Melody felt the pressure.
