Chapter 283
When Gabriel heard this, he glared at Patrick as if he had committed a heinous crime.
He felt that if it weren’t for Patrick, Violet definitely wouldn’t have been implicated innocently, so he was displeased about Patrick. Patrick ignored his provocative gaze and stared at Nathan with a dark expression. “I’m just explaining the situation to you. It doesn’t matter if you believe this testimony or not. We don’t need timony to prove our innocence. | took her to the exclusive suite on the top floor and asked some questions. You can check on the surveillance cameras and see when we went and came out!” When Nathan looked into Patrick’s calm gaze, he felt Patrick did not seem to be lying at
all.
His eyes flashed. “Alright, I'll arrange for someone to investigate the surveillance cameras now. Coincidentally,
if there’s a problem with the hotel's mosquito repellent vaporizer, the entry and exit of this room will have to be checked by the surveillance
cameras!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a thin male waiter not far away tremble slightly, and his face seemed to have turned even paler.
Nathan didn’t step forward either. He just inadvertently gave the waiter more attention.
After interrogation, he arranged for a junior police officer to follow the hotel manager to investigate the surveillance cameras. He continued to be in charge of interrogating them to see if he could find any helpful information.
Violet knew that Megan had a gastric hemorrhage. Majoric had told her and Robert. everything Ellie had said at that time. Moreover, Robert said that he would tell Patrick to investigate. Patrick did not say anything about this, and Violet did not say anything either.
Rebecca died in Violet's room. Violet was also an important suspect. She had been at the scene and stood under Nathan's nose, hoping to check the surveillance cameras and clear her name.
Riley was having a spa treatment. As a public figure, she had heard the news and changed her clothes before rushing over. When she came over, Nathan was asking questions. When she found out that the person who died was Foreverie Jewelry’s designer, Rebecca, she was so frightened that her face turned pale.

After all, she had met Rebecca in the afternoon. The two of them chatted for a while. She wanted to get Rebecca in and deal with Violet.
Unexpectedly, something happened to Rebecca at night. She was so frightened that her face turned pale. She only wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.
Unfortunately, before the case was investigated, no one in this hotel could leave.
Moreover, someone saw her talking to Rebecca in the afternoon. Soon, Nathan came over to ask her.
Riley suppressed his fear and answered Nathan’s question.
Nathan asked around but couldn’t find any clues. Instead, he felt that this case was getting more and more confusing.
At this moment, the young police officer who had left with the hotel manager came over and leaned over to whisper in his ear. Nathan’s expression instantly turned ugly.
He looked at Patrick almost subconsciously. “Mr. Hersey, I’m afraid the surveillance cameras can’t prove your innocence with Miss Webb!”
Patrick’s expression darkened. “What do you mean by that?”
Nathan's expression was solemn as he said bluntly, “The surveillance footage has been. hacked. Our people are already trying their best to repair it. However, their ability is limited. I’m afraid it'll be difficult to recover the surveillance footage!”
Upon hearing this, Violet and Patrick almost instinctively looked at each other and saw the same answer in each other’s eyes. Violet's tone was urgent. “This friend of mine is good. She's a hacker. Previously, | was framed in the company and hacked the surveillance video. She was the one who restored the surveillance video. We can invite her over to restore the hotel’s surveillance
video!”
Nathan’s eyes flashed. “Is she that good?”
When they investigated cases, they would often ask for external help from various. aspects. However, such technical talents were usually top figures in multiple industries and were difficult to hire.
He was a little uncertain about Violet's friend’s ability,
Patrick glanced at Nathan. “Violet’s friend’s ability is indeed not to be underestimated. She is good!”
Nathan did not expect Patrick to say that.

Patrick was not an ordinary person. Nathan knew a little about his identity. For Patrick to be so confident, that person should be good at it.
He said, “Then I'll have to trouble Miss Webb. Please ask this friend of yours. If she can successfully solve the case, everyone in our team will thank Miss Webb and your friend!”
Violet shook her head. “There’s no need for that. However, she’s out of town now. I’ll call and ask her to take the fastest flight back!”
Nathan nodded, indicating that there was no problem.
Violet took her phone and went to the side to make a call.
Because Nathan knew that an expert could restore the surveillance video, he had some hope. Coupled with the fact that there were several police officers present, he did not pay much attention to the male waiter, who had felt that something was amiss. Gabriel lowered his head. His expression was a little gloomy. No one knew what he was thinking.
He stood in the dark, half of his face under the light. The purple diamond on his ear made him look more alluring.
Patrick also lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
At this moment, Nelson called. Patrick took two steps toward Violet’s side and picked up the call.
Nelson's voice was deep. “Mr. Hersey, I've gotten someone to identify it. The ingredients in the mosquito repellent vaporizer are XV. Ordinary people can’t get their hands on such a nerve agent. It’s volatile and can kill people with a small amount!”
Patrick nodded. “I understand. Go and investigate Ellie’s situation!”
Violet had done making the call and turned around. She was about to tell Nathan that Megan had agreed to help.
In the end, she had just taken two steps toward Patrick.
At this moment, something unexpected happened.
The thin male waiter standing in the corridor was about the same distance from Violet as Patrick was from Violet/
He suddenly took out a knife from his pocket and stabbed Violet in the back, where her
heart was.

No one had expected to kill someone in front of the police.
Patrick was on the phone when he suddenly felt a flash of light. He looked up and saw that the waiter was already one step away from Violet with his knife raised, prepared to attack her.
At the critical moment, Patrick burst forth with extraordinary speed and rushed to Violet’s side.
He hugged her and grabbed the blade that was just inches away from her back.
Everyone present was shocked by how the male waiter tried to kill someone before the police and how Patrick caught the knife with his bare hands.
Patrick grabbed the knife, and blood flowed down his palm.
He hugged Violet and pushed her to the side to protect her. He kicked the thin male waiter to the ground.
Violet was pushed aside and immediately turned around.
Her expression changed drastically when she saw Patrick’s bleeding hand.
Gabriel stood at the side, and his pupils constricted. If it were him just now, he would have stepped forward to save Violet without hesitation.
However, he never expected that Patrick... would actually do the same.
For a moment, Gabriel stared at Patrick’s back with a complicated expression.
Everything happened in an instant.
When Nathan reacted, he immediately rushed forward, grabbed the handcuffs, and cuffed the waiter.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
The waiter knew that he had missed his only chance. He lowered his head gloomily and allowed Nathan to subdue him.
Violet rushed up and grabbed Patrick’s arm with a pale face. Her voice was trembling. “P-Patrick, you...”
When she looked up, tears had already shimmered in her
eyes.
