Chapter 465

The room fell silent as the recording ended. Edgar’s expression darkened; Debra’s unexpected move caught him off guard. She met his gaze directly, her eyebrow raised defiantly. If he thought he could set her up, he was sorely mistaken. Declan and Melody exchanged confused glances, unsure of what was happening.

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 plan to use this recording to prove I didn’t push anyone. I merely want to show that Miss Blair tricked me into going upstairs by pretending to be Juan and said some rather bizarre things.”

Declan interjected, “Even if Jade said something strange, it doesn’t prove you didn’t push her.”

Melody added, “Regardless, Debra killed my great-grandson. That’s a fact.”

Pedro, feeling the weight of the accusations, said, “Ms. Frazier, do you have any other proof? If not, I’ll have to take action.” He couldn’t afford to be lenient with so many eyes on him.

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 surveillance 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 knew nothing about it.

Sophie stepped forward and handed Debra a phone. “Madam, here’s the evidence.”

Melody’s expression shifted to shock. “Sophie? You…”

Debra took the phone, quickly located the footage, and showed it to Pedro. “Mr. Hardy, is this sufficient?”

Pedro watched the video, his expression changing from skepticism to disbelief.

Debra turned to the crowd. “If you can’t see clearly, let’s turn on the projector.” She nodded to Sophie, who swiftly set it up. Debra connected the phone, and a shocking scene unfolded on the screen.

The surveillance video showed Sheila pulling on Debra’s hand before falling down the stairs. Leah gasped, covering her mouth in shock. She couldn’t believe a mother would use her unborn child to frame a rival.

Whispers erupted among the guests. “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. Declan and Melody both felt the pressure.
