Chapter 800 Patricia’s Story
At first glance, Gwenn seemed to be acting in Patricia’s best interest. However, unbeknownst to Patricia, Gwenn was already recording on her cell phone.
Her plan was to use the Lenoir family to sabotage the relationship between Cherise and the Miles family. To accomplish this, she needed Patricia to recount past events in meticulous detail.
The more Patricia revealed, the more humiliated Walter would be. It would also deepen the rift between the Miles and Lenoir families.
“Gwenn,” Beckham frowned, intervening subconsciously. “Don’t interfere in other people’s affairs.”
“How can this be considered interference?” Gwenn smiled lightly and brushed off Beckham’s hand. “The Miles and Lenoir families have complex relationships with Cherise. It’s best to resolve any conflicts for Cherise’s sake.”
Gwenn turned to Patricia. “Mrs. Miles, have you made a decision?”
Patricia pursed her lips and pulled at her sleeves before finally nodding in silent agreement. She couldn’t think of any other alternative but to follow this woman’s instructions.
She had initially agreed to meet a handsome man she had met online, but to her surprise, her old flame, Hansen, showed up instead. They were thrilled to see each other.
She had planned to be intimate with him before catching up, but they were caught in the act. She hadn’t thought about her next step. She couldn’t go home with Walter now, so she had no choice but to follow Gwenn’s lead and reveal everything publicly.
Taking a deep breath, Patricia recounted in a hushed voice how she had met and fallen in love with ‘Hansen.’
“I met him at a bar on the ninth of June…” She had an exceptional memory and could recall the exact dates of events from over twenty years ago. “At the time, he was drinking with many people…”
Damien frowned slightly. “May I ask if you knew the people drinking with him then?”
“I didn’t know them initially but got acquainted with them later.” Patricia pursed her lips, silently recalling and listing some names. “There was the former head of the Miles family, Conrad Miles, Cherise’s husband at the time…”
Patricia named five or six people, and Beckham’s expression darkened after hearing each name. These names… were like deeply etched scars in his heart.
He would never be able to forget them for the rest of his life, even though they had been dead for many years. Every time he heard their names, he couldn’t suppress the hatred in his heart.
When Patricia finished, Wanda, standing next to Cherise, sneered, “I must say, Mrs. Miles, you’re quite amazing.”
“I don’t think you and Raymond know each other at all. There’s no relationship whatsoever between you two, right?”
“You claim to know the other people drinking with him the day you met, but everyone you mentioned… is dead now. There’s no way to verify this! It’s obvious that you’re just trying to take advantage of Raymond!”
“Aunt Wanda,” Damien smiled faintly. “Sometimes, not everything is as straightforward as it seems.”
After that, he signaled Blake, who quickly jumped from the railing and took a stack of documents from his backpack. “What a coincidence. The owner of the bar where you met Hansen is very nostalgic. He keeps all the bar’s receipts even after over twenty years.”
Blake pulled out a notebook from the stack calmly and gracefully. “And at that time, these people were all renowned businessmen. The bar owner had each of them sign their names when they paid the bill.”Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
