Chapter 873
Half an hour later, Noah arrived at the Moore mansion and quietly entered.
Vanessa was in the living room, sipping tea, snacking, and watching TV dramas. When she saw him approaching, she warmly greeted him.
“Mr. Noah, you’re back. Would you like to join me for a moment before going upstairs? Hannah left early today, but she should be back soon.”
Noah appreciated Vanessa’s gesture.
“Sure.”
Then, he sat upright on the sofa, even accepting the green tea Vanessa offered.
Ten minutes later, it was not Hannah who arrived first but the police.
The Moore family’s bodyguards led them in, followed by Patrick, who was handcuffed.
Vanessa was puzzled by the unexpected scene, asking, “What’s going on?”
The police nodded politely at her and then approached Noah, explaining the matter at hand.
“Mr. Noah, you’re the main victim in Patrick’s drugging case. He wants to apologize to you in person and seek your forgiveness. So, we brought him here. Would you like to meet him?”
Noah elegantly took a sip of green tea, his expression as cool as ever, without giving a response.
Vanessa also remained silent, watching attentively without daring to speak.
Patrick wailed and tried to approach Noah but was restrained by the police before reaching him.
He cried out, “Mr. Noah, I’m sorry! Please let me explain, Mr. Noah!”
Noah calmly set down his teacup, saying, “Just wait a moment.”
Wait?
Patrick was puzzled, but since Noah requested it, he must be willing to accept his apology.
Waiting a bit longer wouldn’t hurt.
The room fell into a silent wait.
Though unsure of Noah’s intentions, nobody dared to break the silence.
Eventually, feeling the awkwardness, Vanessa invited the police and the others to sit down and have
some tea.
After a few more minutes, Hannah returned, almost at the same time as Kennedy.
They both looked equally perplexed upon seeing the scene in the living room.
When Noah saw that everyone was present, he nodded at the police, indicating for him to proceed.
The police approached and unlocked Patrick’s handcuffs.
With his newfound freedom, Patrick immediately rushed toward Noah and knelt at his feet with a
thud.
The heavy sound of his knees hitting the ground startled everyone in the room, and they exchanged bewildered glances.
Patrick bowed to Noah, his demeanor respectful yet humble.
“Mr. Noah, I’m sorry. You were accidentally drugged because of me, and I take full responsibility. The Fuller family will definitely compensate you for it, and if you still need to vent, you can beat me up as much as you want! I just beg you to spare the Fuller Group and not to trouble the company!”
Noah remained impassive.
“You say I was accidentally drugged, so who were you originally planning to drug?”
Patrick shivered, cold sweat trickling down his body, too afraid to speak.
Noah added, “Honesty is key. If you miss a single word, you’ll face the consequences.
Η
“I’ll confess! I’ll tell you everything!”
Patrick, terrified, began to speak truthfully.
“I’ve been engaged to Hannah for a long time, yet she has always been distant. It was hard even to get her to go out with me once. We’re not getting any younger. At this rate, our engagement could be dragged on for a few more years. I can’t wait that long. Our marriage would benefit the Fuller Group, so I had this twisted idea. I thought since she’d be mine eventually, if I could speed up the process, we could get married sooner and even save half the wedding gifts. It would be a win–win situation…”
He paused awkwardly for a moment, then continued, “So, I bribed a waiter at the hotel to slip some drugs into the wine served, but then you suddenly appeared, and you know the rest…”
After hearing his confession, Kennedy was slightly shocked, while Vanessa and Hannah glared at him
angrily.
Suddenly, there was a loud slap!
