Chapter 272

Upon receiving the news, Juan rushed to the seaside, where the rescue team laid out a piece of clothing before him. "Sir, is this the clothing your wife was wearing?"

Juan stared at the clothing, his expression momentarily blank. He recognized the dress. It was the same one Debra had been wearing in the surveillance footage on the day of the kidnapping.

"Yes."

"We infer that your wife must have perished, and the search and rescue efforts have been halted. Please accept our condolences."

After days of scouring the sea with no sign of Debra, the discovery of this piece of clothing seemed to seal her fate.

Juan frowned, protesting, "Her body hasn't been found. You can't just say she's dead."

Before he could say more, Joe noticed his distress and intervened. He said to the rescue team, "Thank you all for your hard work these past few days. We will prepare a small token of appreciation for you. Please take a rest now."

The team members nodded and left.

Juan shrugged off Joe's hand.
