Debra saw Shelia’s guilty look and smiled, “Miss Miles, anything to add? 

Shelia started, her composure momentarily rattled, but she quickly regained her poise. “No, not really.” 

Debra turned her attention to the police officers. “Please proceed with your investigation. You’re free to access all the hotel’s surveillance footage if needed.” 

Her gaze subtly shifted to Shelia, who was nestled in Juan’s embrace. The avoidance in Shelia’s eyes only served to confirm Debra’s suspicions; something was amiss. 

Soon, the police retrieved all the surveillance footage. On the screen, Joe escorted Shelia into the room, supposedly to change her clothes, and then left, closing the door behind him. 

Pausing the playback, Debra asked, “Joe, you escorted Miss Miles in to change and then left, right?”

Debra turned to Juan and asked, “Jordan followed you and Shelia upstairs, suspecting foul play. What about you? There must have been a reason for your trip upstairs.” 

Juan’s brow furrowed, his gaze unconsciously shifting to Shelia. Shelia bit her lip, her expression torn. 

Debra chuckled, continuing, “Could it be that Miss Miles asked you to go up because the zipper got stuck? Needing your assistance?” 

It was a casual remark, but Shelia fidgeted uncomfortably, while Juan’s frown deepened..
