Shelia returned to the room, her pale face catching attention.
She struggled to compose herself as she sat down. Juan noticed her pallor and asked, “Are you feeling unwell?”
In a hushed voice, Shelia replied, “Mr. Nichols, I–I think I just saw Debra.”
“Debra?”
Shelia nodded, hesitating as she continued, “Not only did I see Debra, but I also saw the two men from the auction the other day. One of them seemed very close to her.”

“Excuse me!” A melodious voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
A woman in a red dress walked in, looking puzzled at the scene inside. She asked, “What’s going on?”

“Mr. Nichols, you gotta believe me. She’s not the one sitting here earlier.”
“Hey, watch your tone! Do you even know who’s sitting in front of you?” Randy’s voice showed rare anger.” This is Erica, heiress to the Mathis family. Show some respect. Juan, keep your people in check, and don’t let them speak randomly.”
Shelia turned paler at the introduction.
