The two prison guards were witnesses to James' confession. They had personally heard James admit that he had ordered Jacqueline to poison Caleb.
In truth, Stephen and James' meeting had been under police surveillance the entire time.
James was currently a suspect in custody. Since he had personally admitted that he was the mastermind pulling Jacqueline's strings in the poison case, his statement qualified as a confession, making it a key piece of evidence in this criminal case.
Now that they had James' confession, the police could proceed with their investigation.
Stephen had also sent his subordinates to assist the police. That was when they discovered that a servant at the Jacobson residence had witnessed Jacqueline dousing Caleb's tonic with an unknown substance.
The servant had chosen to stay mum on the matter due to her desire to keep out of trouble.
Now that the truth had come to light and Jacqueline had long since been expelled from the Jacobson family, she didn't hesitate to spill the beans to the cops once she was questioned.
When Rowena heard the news, she could do nothing but clutch her chest in grief and anger.
"How could this happen? How? I only thought Jacqueline was a foolish girl who had been taken advantage of. I thought she was a good person at heart. I never expected her to poison Caleb, her adoptive father!" Rowena's eyes were filled with tears, clouding her vision.
"How could she do this to us? How could she be so vicious?" she cried.
Sophia had a mocking smile on her face as she sat by Rowena's hospital bed. "Rowena, I told you that Jacqueline isn't as she seems. Yet, you've never once taken my advice seriously."
Sophia had long warned Rowena that Jacqueline was manipulative when she saw how Jacqueline had targeted Tessa by filling Rowena's ears with nothing but lies about Tessa. However, Rowena had never listened to her.
In actuality, Rowena had never really liked Sophia, especially since Sophia was her daughter-in-law.
A harmonious family was an ideal that could rarely be found in reality. Even wealthy families were no exception to conflicts within the family.
Although Rowena had despised Amara when Caleb cheated on Sophia, it didn't stop her from also finding fault in Sophia.
In her opinion, Amara was immoral for seducing a married man. Meanwhile, Sophia was a failure for not being able to keep her husband in check.
In fact, Rowena had found Sophia far more lacking than her son, despite Caleb being the one involved in an affair. After all, she was biased enough to think that men had needs, and Caleb had only made a mistake because Sophia failed to satisfy those needs of his.

Whoa! Hahahahahaha! Go, Sophia! Burn, stupid Rowena! Lol...
Sooo~ Chapters 310-318 were just a repeat of Jacqueline’s punishment, official expulsion from the Jacobson family, and arrest. With few changes since Tessa and Stephen are not together this time. So Tessa didn’t witness how Jacqueline was tortured at Stephen’s base, though at least Tessa was still called over and witnessed how Stephen officially expelled Jacqueline from the Jacobson family and how Stephen’s subordinate made Jacqueline grovel in front of Tessa. Lol. I hope Jacqueline’s really out of the story now....
Also a lot of chapters were missing here. I went back to the application where it was originally published that’s why i know that this site is not reliable...
Fucked up book! Seems like the authors were not talking to each other. LOL. Yes authors, because of the inconsistencies....
The story went downhill after pg200 1. Why is Jacqueline back… she was expelled from the family already 2. There was no reason for Rowena to be mad at Tessa 3. The Jacobson already knows that Stephen wants to get back witb Tessa after they deal with James, so why is Rowena pushing hard? LOL 4. The family also knows that Stephen and Nancy have some sort of deal. The story was okay from page 1-199, but clearly it’s a thumbs down. I can deal with grammatical errors, but story errors is just different now....
This is funny! Jacqueline was also the culprit why James knew that nancy was Stephen's cousin. So, really, what happened when steohen tortured jacqueline hahah...
I wonder how many authors does this book have? Suddenly jacqueline was back and continue to bad mouth tessa. And was stunned that tessa knows her feelings about stephen. And then rowena was freaking mad at tessa too; because there werw multiple instances that tessa sharp-tongued her. 🤣...
What is wrong with the story flow? At chapter 160-164 there’s this whole thing about Stephen revealing in front of all the Jacobsons family members about Jacqueline’s inappropriate feelings towards him and her involvement in murder. There’s even this “Just like that, Jacqueline was officially expelled from the Jacobson family. Stephen then promptly handed her to the authorities.” So I was already glad the bitch is out of the picture. And then suddenly at chapter 236, Jacqueline appears again like nothing happened, still being the adoptive daughter of the Jacobson family and the family being unaware of her feelings for Stephen. Seriously? Doesn’t make sense anymore....
The latest update is just a repetition of the previous chapters...
I don’t like that Stephen is dropping Tessa. They could work together to go after James. But if this happens then I’ll stop reading....
