Tricia quickly had three bodyguards bring over the three kidnappers.


    The three kidnappers were tied up and brought before James, who recognized their faces immediately,


    his expression turning cold. “You caught them?”


    He had people searching the area around the sea for so long without any trace of these three, yet he


    hadn’t realized Sophie’s men had already captured them.


    “Yesh,”


    Sophie looked toward Nichole, noticing her face turning pale at the sight of the kidnappers.


    Sophie said, “Ms. Nichole has quite the ability. She found these professional hitmen to target me. I’m


    truly honored.”


    Hearing Sophie’s words, James‘ gaze fell on Nichole. “It’s you?”


    Disbelief filled his eyes.


    No matter what, Nichole was a student he had personally mentored. She used to be just a slightly


    scheming girl, but now, she was involved in hiring hitmen..


    As James watched her, Nichole quickly waved her hands and said, “No, this has nothing to do with me.


    James, listen to me…”


    “It was her! She gave us money to kill Mrs. Burke!” One of the kidnappers confessed directly, cutting off


    Nichole’s words.


    Nichole red at the kidnapper, saying, “Who made you frame me like this? I’m just a student. How


    could I afford to hire you? And how could I even find professionals like you?”


    Nichole anxiously grabbed James‘ arm, saying, “James, you know me. I can’t even bear to step on an


    ant. How could I daremit murder? I admit, I admit I like you, and I made some mistakes, but I


    would never dare to kill!*

    James looked at Nichole, seeing only a stranger in her eyes. It was as if he had never known this girl.


    But he also knew, with Nichole’s connections, she couldn’t possibly find a professional hitman.


    There weren’t many who dared to kidnap Mrs. Burke and even n to kill her.


    “Is what you just said true?”


    “It’s true! All of it! I have a recording!”


    The kidnapper who spoke earlier looked toward Sophie, saying, Tve already given the recording to


    Mrs. Burke. We know we’ve offended someone we shouldn’t have, so we could not hide anything!”


    Hearing this, Nichole’s heart trembled. A recording? These bastards recorded it!


    Sophie looked toward the three kidnappers. When Colby first brought these kidnappers to her, they had


    already detailed how Nichole hired them.


    Sophie gave Tricia a look, who immediately yed a recording.


    aa


    Nichole looked nervous, as the recording yed her voice. “Isn’t it just a million dors? I will have the


    money once Sophie is gone and I be Mrs. Burke.”


    “III give you a hundred thousand dors as a deposit. If you can take care of Sophie, I’ll pay you the


    rest once I be Mrs. Burke. “Think about it: James and his wife have been at odds for a long time.


    They should have divorced by now. If you deal with Sophie, I can use the child I’m carrying to be


    James‘ wife! Then money wouldn’t be an issue. I promise you, once I be Mrs. Burke, not only will


    I give you a million dors, but I’ll add another million!”


    Hearing the voice in the recording, Nichole turned pale.


    James then cast a sharp, cold nce at Nichole.


    She was trembling all over as she rushed forward to smash the recorder, pointing at the broken device


    on the ground and saying. “This is fabricated! It’s all fake! I never said those things! James, don’t be


    fooled. This is all because Sophie is jealous that I’m carrying your child! She’s deliberately trying to


    drive a wedge between us!”
