After returning to Rivertown and visiting Caleb at the hospital, Ralph invited two senior officials from the police department and the lead officer on Caleb's poisoning case to his home that evening.
Inside the Jacobson residence's tea room, the three men stood when they saw Ralph enter. They respectfully greeted him, "Mr. Jacobson Senior."
Despite his powerful status, Ralph never threw his weight around. He nodded slightly and gestured for them to sit. "Have a seat."
The tea room was spacious, with a long rectangular table made of polished oak in the center, elegantly set with a traditional blue-and-white porcelain tea set.
Ralph sat at the head of the table, facing the three guests. Stephen was seated to his right.
The three guests didn't sit immediately. Instead, they turned to Stephen and greeted him. "Mr. Stephen."
Stephen responded with polite nods.
The three men sat down across from Ralph, briefly introducing themselves before jumping into an update on the case.
After arriving back in Rivertown, Ralph had already familiarized himself with the situation regarding Caleb's poisoning.
The police had uncovered a few promising leads.
The lead investigator, Johnny Jewell, was a stern-looking man in his 40s.
He spoke gravely. "According to Sophia, Jacqueline is currently the prime suspect. From her, we learned that when Jacqueline was still living in the Jacobson residence as an adopted daughter, she would frequently make herbal soup for Mr. Caleb.
"She also told us that Mr. Caleb had a fixed habit of drinking a cup of black coffee every morning. So, we focused our investigation on both of these routines, and we did find some leads."
Johnny handed two reports to Ralph.
"These are the lab results for Mr. Caleb's regular coffee mug and the ceramic pot used for cooking the tonic soup."
Ralph furrowed his brows and began flipping through the reports.

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....
