My Wife Is An All-Around Expert by Elton Joe

Chapter 292
Violet was a bit dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected Patrick to be so straightforward in calling the police.
After all, it was true that Rebecca had died during the company team building.
She had an indescribable feeling in her heart. Patrick was clearly willing to risk the company’s reputation to seek justice for her.
After Patrick ended the call, he turned to face Claudia. His tone was as cold as ice. “You wanted to seek justice for your daughter, didn’t you? Well, let’s see what the police have to say when they come. As for your assault and defamation earlier, there are so many witnesses here. It will all be presented as evidence in court.”
Patrick then turned and escorted Violet into the company building.
Since Violet didn’t want to go to the hospital for a medical examination, Patrick could only use the surveillance footage at the entrance of the building to capture evidence of Claudia assaulting Violet, intending to hand it over to the police.
However, when Patrick first watched the surveillance video, he nearly charged out to deal with those people himself.
He couldn’t stand seeing the person he cared about being treated like this.
He absolutely wouldn’t let this matter slide.
The police arrived quickly. While they sympathized with the Lexington family for losing their daughter, they couldn’t condone this blatant act of violence on the street.
Since the evidence was clear, Claudia and the others were arrested on the spot.
At the police station, Claudia entered the police station and shouted at the top of her lungs, “My daughter is dead! What’s wrong with me seeking justice? Why do you have the right to arrest me?”
Because the Lexington family’s case was related to Rebecca’s, Nathan was in charge of
this case.
Nathan looked at Claudia and said, “Why? Because you attacked someone in public and slandered them. These actions alone could get you into a heap of legal trouble. In this world, just because you’re the aggrieved party, it doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Do you understand?”
Claudia, being from a rural area, had never seen such a big scene before and was a bit frightened.

Nathan intimidated her with a few words, and she confessed to everything.
As it turned out, in their hometown, if someone died and one wanted to negotiate a higher compensation for it, causing a scene was necessary.
Otherwise, those big companies would assume they were afraid.
So, their family members had gone directly to the company today because they hadn’t seen the people Patrick sent yesterday.
As for the fact that Rebecca had died in Violet’s room, too many people at the hotel knew about it, and it couldn’t be kept a secret.
That was why Claudia had targeted Violet. In the end, it could only be said that Violet had been unlucky enough to be caught up in all of this.
Nathan found it even more pathetic that Claudia had said, “My daughter is dead, and if I don’t ask for more money, how will my youngest son ever get married? The cost of marriage is quite high, and we still have to give his bride an engagement gift!”
It seemed like they were using their daughter to secure a bride for their son.
Nathan’s impression of this family couldn’t have been worse. The others were detained for half a month, but the Lexington parents were held for a month and received ideological education.
Upon hearing the Lexington family’s perspective, Violet was utterly speechless.
It seemed that being born into such a family was truly a tragic and pitiable situation for Rebecca.
After Patrick finished explaining the situation with the Lexington family, Patrick looked at Violet with a steady gaze. “What do you plan to do now?”
Violet was stunned for a second. “What do you mean?”
Patrick’s brow furrowed deeply, and he sounded somewhat angry. “Don’t tell me you plan on going to work with these injuries!”
Violet bit her lip. “Um… then may I take a couple of days off?”
Patrick spoke firmly and in a commanding tone, leaving no room for refusal. “You get a week. Until your leave is over, you’re not allowed back.”
Violet hesitated. These superficial wounds would probably heal in two or three days, right?
Seeing Violet’s expression, Patrick’s frustration grew. “What? I give you time off, and

you find it hard to accept?”
Violet glanced up at him. “That’s not what I meant. I just feel cooped up alone at home.”
Patrick looked at Violet and let out a light snort. “You find it stifling, huh?”
Violet thought about what Patrick had said. There seemed to be room for negotiation regarding the one-week holiday. He immediately smiled and nodded at Patrick.
However, Patrick’s tone turned icy. “Don’t even think about it! Since you find it stifling, then I’ll stay at home with you!”
Violet’s face froze. Patrick’s tone made it clear that he wanted to keep an eye on her. He did not seem to be accompanying her!
Seeing Violet’s difficulty in accepting this, Patrick’s expression soured. “What’s wrong, you’re not happy with that?”
Violet knew that she had been hurt, and Patrick was angry about it. She quickly forced a smile and shook her head. “Of course not I’m more than happy!”
During this period, Violet also realized that as Patrick’s legal wife, he wouldn’t allow her to get hurt. This was his bottom line.
Before, when they were captured by Yvonne, even though Patrick was bound and couldn’t move freely, he still threw himself in front of her to shield her from harm. This time, he went even further, intercepting the blade with his bare hands as if he were made of steel!
Violet felt a mix of gratitude and pity for Patrick. It was a strange feeling, and it wasn’t easy to process. Patrick’s protectiveness was quite remarkable for a man.
Patrick looked at Violet with a cold snort. “You’d better be consistent in your words and actions! Also, in your current state, you can’t go to work. Since you’re unwilling to go to the hospital, I’ll take you back home!”
Violet hesitated and bit her lip. “Um… it’s not necessary. I can go back by myself.”
Patrick stared at Violet in silence.
