Shirley suddenly cut in, “Even if you prove Debra was at the manor, she could have had her people relay messages on her behalf.

She turned sharply to face Nora.

“For instance, this maid here seems quite eager to assist Debra! Perhaps this is all a scheme concocted by Debra and her!”

Nora’s complexion went ghostly.

She bent over, shaking her head vigorously while trembling.

“I swear I didn’t!”

Furious, Shirley stormed over, yanked Nora upright, and slapped her across the face.

“Show some respect! How dare you, a lowly half-blood witch, interrupt me!”

Reeling from the blow, Nora bowed her head and wept silently, too scared to speak up.

I had every intention to intervene, but Shirley’s movements were too swift.

I was completely taken by surprise.

She was extremely arrogant and overbearing.

She didn’t seem to take me seriously at all.

My expression turned grave, and I spoke in a chilled tone.

“Shirley, please, calm yourself.

Shirley was on the verge of exploding with rage.

Just as she was about to erupt once more, Addy intervened.

Addy was always level-headed.

She understood that this was my territory, and the evidence favored Debra.

It wasn’t the right time for them to make a scene, I turned to Olivia, my face stern, and said sternly, “Debra only joined the witch clan recently.

She hasn’t met many here, nor does she have any close allies.

Shirley’s suspicions are baseless.

I hope you will acknowledge the truth.

My stance was clear.

If they persisted in using mere conjectures to accuse Debra, I would stand in their way.

Addy’s brow creased, and she opened her mouth to speak, but I cut her off “The murder at the manor has been resolved.

Debra is innocent! Unless you have further evidence, I won’t tolerate anyone in the witch clan slandering her again.

I remained firm, and with nothing left to argue, Addy could only lead Shirley quietly out of the manor.

Debra’s POV:

On the afternoon of Keenan’s accident, I stumbled upon Andrew’s post online.

It was a clear declaration of my innocence in the murder and a stern warning against those spreading the rumors.

After reading his message, I set my phone down and murmured, “Andrew is quite efficient.

Caleb heard me and scoffed, “Andrew’s just a hypocrite and a coward.

He can’t protect you at all.

He gripped my shoulder, forcing me to look at him.

His gaze was intense as he said, “Debra, you need to come back to the Thorn Edge Pack with me as soon as possible.

I won’t let you be endangered like Andrew did.

Going back to the Thorn Edge Pack with Caleb wasn’t an option right now.

I slipped out of his grasp and sidestepped the issue.

“Caleb, try not to be so harsh on Andrew.

He addressed the issue promptly, and I really appreciate that.

With a derisive snort, Caleb challenged, “If Andrew has already cleared that the IP address wasn’t at his manor, why won’t he come out and say that it was at the clan leader’s manor?”

I paused, lost in thought for a moment.
