Just as the housekeeper hung up, he froze at Mira's words and subconsciously handed her the phone.
Confident, Mira quickly found the video from that day on the housekeeper's phone.
"Everyone, take a look. This is our housekeeper's phone.
This was an instant cloud upload from when the incident happened yesterday. Look closely, the date is attached. This can't be faked."
Mira projected the videos she found onto the wall for everyone to see.
Then she played the video, and the exact same scene as before appeared on the screen.
"Mara, there's no denying it now, is there?"
"Norman, why didn't you show us the video yesterday?"
Adrian looked at the housekeeper, furious.
"Norman, why was the video all blurry when I tried to review the surveillance footage yesterday?"
Ethan stared intensely at the housekeeper, his eyes blazing as if he could burn a hole right through him.
"Don't blame Norman. He must have been threatened by my sister. I've already forgiven him.
He's just an employee trying to keep his job, after all."
Before the stunned housekeeper could figure out how to respond, Mira immediately fed him his lines.
Adrian clearly wanted him to be the scapegoat, but Mira wasn't about to let that happen.
Norman wasn't a good person, but now wasn't the time to deal with him.
The priority was to clear her own name. Mara was the real culprit, and Mr. Mercer and her brothers were accomplices.
Norman's eyes lit up as if he had just clutched a lifeline.
"Yes, it was Miss Mara who threatened me. She said if I didn't do as she said... she said..."
He glanced at Mara, looking terrified of her.
"Spit it out! Stop stammering!"
Adrian Mercer's question was less of an inquiry and more of a warning.
