As Debra's hands stilled on the keys, Drake commanded calmly, "Continue."
Debra hesitated but resumed playing, though her attention was divided. Behind her, Harland continued to beat Ava, who pleaded for mercy between sobs.
"Have mercy, please," she cried out.
"Who told you to do this?" Harland repeated.
Ava finally gave in. "I'll talk. It was because I needed money. But I did it all for Mr. Lowe. Please, have mercy."
Drake raised his hand, signaling Harland to stop. "Hold on. You did this for me?"
Ava nodded frantically. "Yes! I did it because she is a traitor."
She pointed at Debra, who paused in shock.
Drake's interest was piqued. "I'm listening."
Ava continued, "I saw her with a man. They were plotting to run away."
"Is that so?" Drake turned to Debra. "Did you do that?"
"No," Debra denied immediately as she continued playing. "I don't know why she slanders me like this. Without evidence, she's talking nonsense."
"Of course, I have evidence. I saw it with my own eyes. You were intimate with that mongrel. He must be your lover," Ava shouted.
Debra's heart lurched. She wondered if Ava had overheard her conversation with William in the square.
Debra's question left Ava momentarily speechless, but she quickly recovered.
"You didn't leave, but I saw you push him away, saying Mr. Lowe was about to arrive."
"Do you have a video or a recording?"
"I..."
"That's odd. How would I have known Mr. Lowe was about to arrive? At that time, he had been away from the casino for several hours."
"You heard the car engine. Mr. Lowe, you gotta believe me. I really saw it. She even told the man to gather people to oppose you."
