“Yes, madam.”
Ben swiftly summoned three bodyguards, who dragged the three bound kidnappers into the room, pushing them
roughly in front of Juan.
Juan recognized their faces, his expression turning as cold as ice. “You captured them?”
Despite all his best efforts, he hadn't been able to find any trace of these kidnappers. He hadn't expected that
Debra’s people would have beaten him
to it.
“I did,” she replied, casting a sidelong glance at Shelia, who stood trembling, her face pale as a sheet. “Miss
Miles, you're capable enough to find such skilled assassins to cafter my life. I'm truly honored.”

Juan’s gaze shifted to Shelia, his eyes filled with disbelief. “You did it?”
No matter what, Shelia was a student he had sponsored. At best, she had been just a scheming girl who wouldn't
have dared hire killers.
Shelia quickly shook her head, her eyes wide with desperation. “No, it’s not like that. Juan, letexplain.”
“It’s her. She’s the one who paid us to kill Mrs. Nichols.” One of the kidnappers confessed, cutting off Shelia’s
attempt at explanation.
Shelia shot a glare at the kidnapper. “Who put you up to frme? I'm just a student. How could | afford to hire
you guys? How could | even find killers like you?”
She turned to Juan, her fingers digging into his arm as she desperately tried to convince him of her innocence.
“Juan, you know me. | wouldn't even kill an ant, let alone commit murder. | admit I like you, and | made a
mistake, but | wouldn't kill anyone.”
Juan looked at her, his eyes filled with a chilling unfamiliarity, as if he were seeing her for the first time. He knew
well that with Shelia’s connections, she wouldn't be able to find professional killers.

Few people would dare to kidnap Debra and demand ransom. It was a risky move, one that required considerable
resources and guts.
“Is what you just said true?” asked Juan.
“Yes, it's true. All of it. | have a recording.” The kidnapper turned to look at Debra. “I've already given the
recording to Mrs. Nichols. We know we've offended someone we shouldn't have and won't hide anything.”

Debra turned to the three kidnappers. When they were brought to her by Marion, they had confessed everything.
She gave Ben a nod, and he immediately played the recording.
Shelia looked anxious, her eyes darting nervously as her voice echoed through the room, a damning testimony
of her guilt.
“It’s one million dollars, right? As long as Debra is killed and | becMrs. Nichols, I'll have more than enough
money.”
“I'll give you 100 thousand dollars as a deposit. If you manage to kill Debra, I'll pay you the rest once | become
Mrs. Nichols.”
“Think about it. Juan and his wife have long been at odds. As soon as you take care of her, | can leverage my
pregnancy to becMrs. Nichols. How much more money would that bring you? | promise you, once | marry
Juan, I'll give you not just one million dollars, but two million.”
