“Well.” Clive regarded Declan with disdain as he conveyed, “Should Miss Moore wish to play in our place, our boss has made it clear: her losses will be on our boss, and her winnings are hers to keep.
After all this, do you still believe that there is a need for Miss Moore to resort to loan sharks? She can play as she pleases, and our boss will cover the losses. Be it 100 million or even a billion, our boss can bear the financial burden.”
Clive maintained a smug smile, directing his gaze toward the visibly flustered Eliana standing behind Declan.
“However, certain individuals find themselves in quite a distressing situation, hounded by loan sharks over a ten-million debt.”
Hannah opened the folder, and upon reviewing its contents, she passed over all the documentation to the police, asserting, “This folder contains all the evidence required.”
The police’s countenance swiftly shifted as they examined the information. With a grave demeanor, they presented the documents to Eliana, inquiring, “Miss Patel, could you clarify the circumstances outlined here?”
The contents of the file comprised I0Us bearing Eliana’s signature, along with records of a five-million investment in a car race!
Every document was an original, featuring Eliana’s distinctive red fingerprints beneath her signature!
Eliana’s face lost color as she protested, It wasn’t me!”
“It wasn’t you?” Hannah seemed to find it intriguing and remarked, “The evidence is quite clear; your fingerprints are right there. Were you forced?”
Eliana clung to Hannah’s mention of force and vigorously nodded.
“Someone did force me!”
She clutched Declan’s sleeve, pleading, “Declan, do you believe me?

I was too afraid to inform you.
As she spoke, Eliana broke into tears, articulating her distress and helplessness with every word.
“He’s my brother! How could I abandon him? I borrowed money from the loan sharks, initially believing I could cover some of it by selling my bag…”
Eliana gazed up at Hannah with teary, reddened eyes.

“But I never anticipated… that they’d contact Miss Moore. I… I was momentarily puzzled, afraid to confess the truth…”
Hannah observed her coldly as she recounted, “Very well, if you claim this money was borrowed for your brother, bring him here, and let’s confront him directly.
After all, considering the fact that your brother pressured you into borrowing, I’m confident the police will treat you fairly.”
Eliana vigorously shook her head, her distress apparent.
“It’s not feasible; my parents are deeply fond of my brother; they won’t allow him to come to the police station! I beg you, Miss Moore. I had no idea they’d approach you. Maybe they weren’t aware of your divorce from Declan… It was an accident! Yet, it’s all linked to me! If you cannot find it in your heart to forgive me, I am prepared to kneel before you!”
Eliana was on the verge of kneeling before Hannah, her legs beginning to bend!
