The room fell into a hushed silence as the recording finished playing.

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.

Declan and Melody exchanged confused glances, 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 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 chimed in, "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."

With so many eyes on him, he couldn't afford to be lenient.

Debra replied calmly, "Of course, I do."
