Chapter 2620 Convicted
Noah’s commercial crime became a homicide charge.
The police’s investigation expanded in another direction.
It was only during the interrogation that Noah realized that he had been fooled.
His confession was never handed over to the police.
Instead, he fell into the trap.
Noah wanted to wait for the police to come up with the “admission of guilt” so that he could deny it and tell them about Eric’s illegal imprisonment of him.
However, the police did nothing of the sort.
Instead, Noah fell into the trap.
When he wanted to retract his confession, the police had already started investigating the murders.
The police also revoked Noah’s privilege of surrendering when he stopped cooperating with the interrogation.
Selena handed over the diary, and the police solved the case with little effort.
The basement of Selena’s parents’ house was filled with evidence.
Fingerprints, bloodstains, and semen were all well preserved.
Although it had been a long time, it was not troublesome to verify.
When the police took Noah to identify the scene, Noah stood at the door of the villa with an evil smile on his face.
Selena and Eric did not go in.
They tried their best to disassociate themselves from this case and just quietly watched them from their car not far away.
Eric held Selena’s hand tightly. His eyes were dark, and he looked into the distance without any emotion.
When Eric looked down at Selena, his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Selena turned her head and looked out the window.
The gate that was covered in plants was surrounded by parked police cars.
It was the first time in twenty years that this place was so lively.
It was not lively for a good reason, but rather a conclusion to these ridiculous events.
Noah’s initial reaction was normal when the police took him to identify the scene.
Noah’s expression became a little complicated when he got to the basement. There was a bit of excitement in his eyes.
However, when they went to Selena’s nursery, the innermost room upstairs, there was something wrong with Noah’s expression.
The police officer stood by the window and used a ruler to measure the size of it. He pointed at the window and looked at Noah.
“Did she jump from here?”
Did Selena’s mother stand here and jump off?
Noah seemed to recall that day twenty years ago. It had been so long, but his memory of that day was so vivid.
That woman was so beautiful that it made him excited every time he saw her.
She cried pitifully and looked like a goddess weeping.
When she saw Noah’s paternity test with Selena and knew that Selena was not Joel Nelson’s child, she could not live anymore.
The more pitiful she looked, the more he wanted to rape her. When he touched her, she moved.
However, before he could react, the woman opened the window and jumped out.
Her back figure was as thin as a piece of paper, but when she fell to the ground, it sounded as if she weighed a thousand pounds.
His heart was also smashed to pieces at that moment.
The police officer asked him questions. In Noah’s eyes, the police officer’s figure overlapped with the woman in his memory.
Noah seemed to feel the sting of the cold dagger that pierced his body. His life would no longer be normal.
The anger in his chest gradually spread, and his eyes turned red
Suddenly, Noah pushed away the police officer beside him and ran toward the window.
He reached out his handcuffed hands and tried to push the woman out the window.
Noah thought, ‘If she wasn’t dead, she could die again!
He strangled the police officer and tried to push the officer out the window. The other officers rushed over at the same time, released Noah’s grip, and saved the officer under him.
Noah was restrained with his face pressed against the dusty floor. His breathing was unsteady, and he could feel a burst of chill from the ground spreading to his body.
His limbs and bones were shivering from the cold.
Assaulting a police officer was a serious offense. The police immediately stepped up their vigilance. After taking Noah away, calm was finally restored in the villa.
Eric could clearly see everything that happened at that window.
Noah had really gone down the path of no return.
Eric raised the car window.
Selena asked him, “Shall we go home?”
Eric smiled. “Wait a minute. Let me take you to a place.”
The car arrived at the gate of the psychiatric hospital.
Eric took her to a ward at the east end of the second floor.
The doctor recognized him immediately.
“Mr. Ferguson.”
“How is she doing recently?”
“She’s a lot better now, and she won’t make a lot of noise, but she’s still restless. I saw her secretly put the medicine in the nurse’s cup a few times. If the staff watching the surveillance footage did not find out in time, she would really get her way.”
Jennifer was not stupid. She still had the strength to make a fuss in the first few days.
However, she changed her approach after seeing that the people in the hospital did not believe her.
Jennifer wanted to find a chance to leave, but there were more doctors and nurses than patients.
Thus, she decided to get rid of the doctors and nurses first.
Eric looked at Jennifer, who was in the ward, through the surveillance camera.
Selena also looked over and frowned slightly.
“She’s been here all this time?”
Eric sneered. “You underestimate your cousin too much. She’s much better than you.”
Selena rolled her eyes speechlessly.
Eric’s voice was clear and cold.
“After giving her a sedative, she targeted Floyd and deliberately misled us. This shows that she is mentally strong and isn’t as simple as she seems. Also, do you remember? Noah said that someone from the Nelson family told him after our wedding that you would have your revenge for all the grievances you suffered.”
“I never said that.”
Selena frowned. She would not say such arrogant words.
After all, she was reluctant to even get married in the first place.
Eric chuckled and squeezed her shoulder.
“Of course, I know you didn’t say that, but someone told Noah that you did, and Noah believed them. Have you ever wondered why? That person from the Nelson family was guiding Noah to kill you…”
Eric said this with a smile, but there was an inexplicable chill and sharpness in his voice.
Selena’s smile suddenly froze on her face.
She stared blankly at Eric.
Her initial relaxed expression disappeared in an instant. It felt like ice water was poured over her head, cooling her heart.
Selena’s attention back then was on Noah and her emotions.
Thus, she neglected some irrelevant things he said.
However, Eric noticed those irrelevant words.
The Stanton family gave Eric the surveillance footage at that time. Eric must have watched it several times before he could spot this detail that Selena overlooked.
Eric sighed. “Don’t be afraid. I didn’t dare to tell you because I was afraid it would frighten you.”
Selena snorted coldly and adjusted her expression.
“I’m not afraid. I’m not even afraid of Noah anymore. Why would I be afraid of others?”
“Jennifer’s parents were the only ones in the Nelson family who would do this. Others didn’t have any conflicts of interest, and they wouldn’t benefit from going against you.”
Eric analyzed it and paused.
“But Jennifer’s parents are different. Their company is almost bankrupt and can barely continue to operate. However, they recently received a large capital investment that brought their company back to life.”
