Tessa had barely made it through, but she was going to be okay. Caleb, on the other hand, wasn't nearly as lucky.
The doctors said the poisoning had been going on for a long time. His internal organs were already severely damaged. There was nothing more they could do.
When Rowena heard the news, everything went black in front of her, and she passed out on the spot.
The next day, Sophia went to the prison as she'd planned.
Through a glass partition, she sat across from Jacqueline, who was wearing the standard-issue prison uniform. They spoke through a wired phone.
A mocking smile flashed across Jacqueline's face. "Mrs. Jacobson, well, this is a surprise. I never expected you to be here."
Ever since Jacqueline's feelings for Stephen had been exposed and Sophia had slapped her, any pretense of a "mother-daughter" relationship between them had completely vanished.
Later, Jacqueline was kicked out of the Jacobson residence.
After that, she stopped calling Sophia "Mom" and started calling her "Mrs. Jacobson" instead.
From the moment she was arrested to the day she was sentenced and her punishment was carried out, Sophia hadn't visited her once. The only one who had gone to see her was Rowena, who had gone twice.
Rowena couldn't see things clearly and continued to dote on Jacqueline. Even now, with Caleb on the verge of death from poisoning, she refused to believe Jacqueline could've done it.
Sophia's gaze was cold as ice. She didn't waste any time. "Did you poison Caleb?"
"Poisoned? Caleb got poisoned?" Jacqueline pretended to be shocked, but there was amusement in her eyes.
"Drop the act," Sophia said expressionlessly. "No one else has the motive to do such a thing. It was James who told you to do it."
Jacqueline smiled. "Mrs. Jacobson, you really should watch what you say. You're accusing me of poisoning someone. Do you have any proof?"
"If you did it, there will be traces. We'll find the evidence."
Jacqueline let out a cold laugh, and her eyes were full of smug defiance. "So what you're saying is... you haven't found any yet."
A flicker of menace crossed Sophia's eyes. "Jacqueline, if you really poisoned Caleb, the Jacobson family won't let you off. And don't count on James to bail you out. You might not know this since you're stuck in here, but he has already been arrested."

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....
