Betty has the Ace and is lying. Annie is lying and Cassie is telling the truth. Two false statements, one true one.

Annie can't have the ace as her statement would be true and an ace holder must lie. Annie can't have the king as Betty's statement would then be true as well as Annie's and at most one statement can be true.

Cassie can't have the ace as her statement would be true and an ace holder must lie. Cassie can't have the king as that would make both her & Betty's statements true and at most one statement can be true.

Betty can't hold the king because her statement would be a lie and a king holder must tell the truth.
