Chapter 1625: Chapter 1725

The murmurs around us gradually quieted, and all eyes turned to me, expecting an explanation.

I furrowed my brow, maintaining my composure.

“I’m not sure why Keenan would say such things to his assistant, but I assure you, I have no personal dealings with him.

”

“Debra, who would believe that? The evidence is right here! Won’t you admit it now?”

Shirley tried to stir up the trouble and wanted to convict me right now.

I retorted, “I believe anyone with a sense of decency can see that I would never forsake a fiance Like Andrew for someone like Keenan.

”

Andrew then spoke up, his voice both gentle and firm.

“I have absolute faith in my fiancee.

”

He turned to me, his voice softening.

“Debra, don’t worry.

I will uncover the truth and prove your innocence.

”

I smiled at him, grateful for his support, yet a pang of guilt weighed on me.

This chaos was my doing, and it was Andrew who had to bear the fallout.

Shirley, consumed by jealousy, burst out, “Andrew! How can you be so blinded by her? She’s involved with Keenan.

Isn’t it obvious she’s betrayed you? How can you stand by her?”

Andrew’s response was icy.

“Shirley, enough.

I trust Debra.

”

Frustration made Shirley tremble, her eyes reddening with anger.

She parted her lips to retort but halted under Andrew’s stern gaze, ultimately turning away with a huff.

“Crazy! You’re all crazy!” Debbie interjected loudly.

“Andrew, all for a woman who’s betrayed you, you are a disappointment to this clan!”

Andrew faced the gathered crowd, his expression serious.

“This matter hasn’t been fully investigated yet.

We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

”

“That’s not true!” Debbie was incensed.

“I have the evidence! Andrew, if you don’t deal with this bitch today, you have no right to be our deputy leader!”

When this was said, the others frowned.

Andrew’s role of deputy leader was widely recognized as he had earned through merit.

He had built considerable trust among many; it was unlikely they would move to impeach him over this incident.

A heavy silence fell abruptly, the tension palpable as only the sound of the crowd’s deep breaths filled the air.

In that tense silence, a woman from the crowd stepped forward, trying to diffuse the tension.

“Andrew, Debbie has lost her mind after her husband’s death.

Please, let’s be reasonable.

However, the death of Keenan and another at your manor is serious.

You owe an explanation to his family.

”

Her words considerably softened the atmosphere.

Andrew nodded gravely.

“Rest assured, I will get to the bottom of this and provide answers.

”

His reassuring gaze met mine, signaling everything would be okay.

I nodded back, a silent thank you for his unwavering support.
