Chapter 472

“I didn’t come here to hear your explanation.”

“Juan.”

“If Debra hadn’t asked me to check on you, I would never have come.”

Shelia froze, but she didn’t think Debra would be that kind. She believed Debra had sent Juan there to laugh at her. Shelia bit her lip. “I was forced into this. Who would kill their child? It was Edgar who pressured me. He asked me to frame Debra, and I didn’t dare disobey him.”

Juan watched coldly. He had once been fooled by her acts of kindness and weakness, but now he saw her for what she truly was. He had no more pity left for her.

“I don’t care what your relationship with Edgar is or what he’s plotting. I will not allow anyone to target Debra. Otherwise, I will make sure you pay.” His expression made it clear he was serious, and her face turned pale.

“Juan, we’re a couple.” She tried to play the emotional card, but Juan’s dangerous glance silenced her. She quickly changed her approach.

“I was wrong. Could you please forgive me and help me? I failed my task, and Edgar will kill me.”

Juan’s eyes narrowed. “Since I came, it’s to give you a chance.”

Shelia nodded eagerly. “Alright, I’ll agree to whatever you say.”

“I want you to go back to Edgar,” Juan said.

“What?” Shelia was shocked. “Go back to Edgar?” Edgar was a lunatic, and she would never go back to him.

Juan explained, “If he wants to deal with Debra, then I need to deal with him.”

Shelia gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with tears of humiliation. “Juan, this isn’t fair. I lost a child, and you want to use me to avenge Debra? Why?”

Juan’s answer was simple and brutal. “Because Debra is the woman I love.”

Shelia’s heart trembled at his words. She had told herself more than once that she held a place in his heart, but Juan had shattered that illusion again.

“If your beloved woman is Debra, then why did you treat me so well? Why were you so considerate? Why did you give me hope and make me believe you loved me?”

“I treated you well because you were useful to the Nichols family. I was wrong, thinking you were a kind, gentle woman. But you’re even more vicious than I imagined. You even cruelly killed your child. Debra never provoked you, yet you always went against her. Shelia, don’t think I don’t know who you are. I’ve shown you enough tolerance by not exposing your identity.”

Juan’s eyes were devoid of love, filled instead with disgust. She was familiar with this look. Juan had once looked at Debra this way. Now, it was her turn to receive such a gaze from him.

“No matter how many bad things I’ve done in the past… I like you. We once shared the warmth of a married couple. Please, save me. I can’t go back to Edgar. He will kill me.”
