Lahat ng Kabanata ng Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Kabanata 251 - Kabanata 260

In Seamar City, few dared to cross Juan, let alone hack into his phone."Get the tech department on this immediately," he said. "I want to know who's behind this.""Yes, sir," Joe replied, hurriedly taking the phone and scurrying out of the office.Juan's heart pounded like a drum in his chest, a sense of foreboding washing over him.He snatched the car keys from his desk and rushed out. He sped through the city streets, his mind racing faster than the powerful engine of his sports car.Bursting through the front door, he found Melody and Hester having dinner in the grand living room.Debra was nowhere to be seen.Melody looked up and frowned at his disheveled appearance. "Juan, don't you have a meeting at the company today? Why are you back so early?""Where's Debra?" Juan asked.Hester's expression flickered, a mix of unease and guilt flashing across her face. Melody, however, remained nonchalant. "Who knows which man she might be meeting up with? You're supposed to keep her

In response to Shelia's barking, the one on the other end of the phone sneered, "The one we've taken is Juan's wife. The ransom we can demand from him is far higher than what you'd pay for a mere hit job. Thanks to the address you provided, we found Juan's home."Shelia paled at his words, and the man added, "But don't you worry, if Juan pays the ransom, we'll clean up this mess for you. If he doesn't, we'll still handle it. Just a matter of time.""You can't do this," Shelia protested. "Once you contact Juan, he'll stop at nothing to find out who you are, and then I'll be exposed."She knew how resourceful Juan was. It wouldn't take him long to figure out who the kidnappers were, and he'd certainly trace it back to her.Even if Debra died, her dream of entering high society would be shattered."That's not our problem," the man snorted. "We're just doing our job and making a little extra on the side.""No, how can you do this?" Shelia shouted frantically, but the line was already

"Sir..." Joe tried to advise again.Juan cut him off. "Nothing is more important than Debra's life. Do you understand?"Joe swallowed hard. "Yes, sir."He swiftly ordered their men to unload bundles of cash from the trunk. Aboard the boat, one of the kidnappers pressed a knife against Debra's neck. They climbed to the highest deck, and one of them shouted, "Bring all the money up here. Don't try anything foolish, or we'll kill her."Joe instructed the bodyguards, saying, "Get all the money up there."The bodyguards sprang into action, carrying bundle after bundle of cash onto the boat. Debra watched coldly.Once the last bundle was on board, Joe used a megaphone to declare, "You've got the money. Let her go."The kidnappers tore open the bundles, their eyes widening at the sight of the crisp bills."Alright, let her go," instructed the leader with a grin.Hidden in a secluded corner of the shore, Shelia watched with a mix of anxiety and anticipation. Suddenly, the boat's eng

"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 was dead, the agreement they had made 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."

"No, I'll talk," Clarissa stammered anxiously.She didn't want to die. Trembling all over, she continued, "You must promise me that if I tell you everything, you'll let me go.""I can't make that promise. But if you tell me, I'll be more lenient with you," Juan said.Clarissa's face paled, the reality of her situation sinking in like a stone. No matter what she said today, they wouldn't let her off easily.Juan looked down at the crumpled figure before him, his voice as cold as the Arctic. "Go to the police or into the black box. The choice is yours."Clarissa looked up to see his cold eyes and eventually gave in. "All of this... Everything was..."Just then, the sharp ring of the office phone sliced through the tense air.Joe answered the call. "I see."After a brief exchange, he hung up and turned to Juan. "Sir, Miss Miles is here."Juan's voice turned as cold as ice. "What is she doing here? Don't let her in."Clarissa's expression stiffened at the mention of Shelia. Jua
