"Yes, ma'am."

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.

"Yeah."

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 glared 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 dare commit 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 plan 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, "I've 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 played a recording.

Nichole looked nervous, as the recording played her voice. "Isn't it just a million dollars? I will have the money once Sophie is gone and I become Mrs. Burke."

"I'll give you a hundred thousand dollars as a deposit. If you can take care of Sophie, I'll pay you the rest once I become 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 become James' wife! Then money wouldn't be an issue. I promise you, once I become Mrs. Burke, not only will I give you a million dollars, but I'll add another million!"

Hearing the voice in the recording, Nichole turned pale.

James then cast a sharp, cold glance 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!"
