Chapter 258

“Mrs. Nichols Sr., just now Juan mentioned Debra falling into the sea. Is she…” Hester muttered.

Melody’s expression hardened. “Good that she’s dead. If she’s dead, he’ll finally give up.” She didn’t believe Juan would die for any woman. He couldn’t die, and she wouldn’t allow it.

The rescue team had been scouring the vast ocean for three days and nights, their search area expanding with each passing hour. Yet, there was no sign of Debra.

News of Debra’s fall reached the Frazier family. Ralph paced anxiously, but Rosalie was elated. If Debra were dead, their agreement would be null and void. The family fortune would go to her and her son. She watched Ralph’s frenzy with a cold glint in her eyes. “Ralph, you were so heartless to us, so don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

On the third day, Juan was a picture of despair. No one could survive three days in the sea. When Joe entered the office, he asked, “Have they found Debra?”

Joe shook his head slowly. “Not yet.”

The light in Juan’s eyes dimmed, and his face turned pale. He looked more haggard than ever. Joe took a deep breath before continuing, “Sir, it’s been three days. There’s no hope left. Even if the rescue team continues, it’s just a waste of manpower and resources. And with the McKinney Group’s recent rampage, we need to take action. You need to pull yourself together.”

“Who says it’s a waste of manpower and resources? Who says there’s no hope?” Juan’s eyes flashed dangerously. “Tell them to keep searching. Hire a professional rescue team if you have to. We must find Debra, even if it’s just her body.”

Joe was silent for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, sir.”

Juan rubbed his temples, trying to ease the throbbing pain. He had been too emotional earlier. Now, with a calmer mind, he asked, “What about the kidnappers? Have they been caught?”

Joe hesitated. “They’ve escaped overseas. Our people can’t find them. But they were carrying counterfeit money from us. Dealing with so much counterfeit cash isn’t easy.”

Juan’s gaze turned dangerous. “So, nothing at all?”

“Yes.”

“What do I pay you for? You can’t even handle this small matter?”

“Sorry, sir.” Joe lowered his head.

“My home address and phone number aren’t known to just anyone. Investigate who helped them. They couldn’t have taken Debra so smoothly,” Juan analyzed.

“We’re already investigating. I believe we’ll have results soon,” Joe reassured him.

His phone rang. Joe answered, and within seconds, his expression brightened. He hung up and looked at Juan, his eyes gleaming. “Sir, we’ve found the people who were in contact with the kidnappers before.”

Juan slammed his hand on the table. “Bring them in. Now!”

“Okay.”

In no time, Clarissa was brought into the office. It was the first time she had seen Juan. Looking at the gloomy man before her, she tried to maintain a facade of innocence. “Who are you? Why have you captured me? What do you want?”
