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.
