From Heartbreak to Happily Ever After novel Chapter 278

Chapter 278 

“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 come after 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, let me explain.” 

“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 frame me? I’m just a student. How could I afford to hire you guys? How could I 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. I wouldn’t even kill an ant, let alone commit murder. I admit I like you, and I made a mistake, but I 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. I 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.” 

Shelia’s heart skipped a beat. She couldn’t believe these people had recorded their conversation.
