Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover by Rosa Winters

Chapter 551

Jacob and Lisa were in shock.

Jacob turned to Connor, bewildered. "What?"

Connor reiterated, "Drugging someone is downright despicable. If we let this slide, what does that say about justice and order in our world?"

Jacob's expression shifted through a spectrum of emotions. "Connor, we're family, remember? We should sort this out ourselves without dragging the police into it, right?"

A brief flicker of disappointment appeared in Chloe's eyes, but it was gone in an instant. She had long stopped expecting anything from Jacob. Sure, he was the man who raised her, but his heart was cold and self-serving. His pride and the family's image always took precedence over her well-being.

Before Connor could reply, Neil stepped forward, "Has Mr. Jacob always played favorites like this?"

Jacob was caught off guard, unsure why Neil had decided to jump in.

"He gave the emerald pendant to his own daughter, letting her pretend to have ties with the Shaw family for social gain. Now, his adopted daughter gets bullied, drugged, and defamed, and you're trying to sweep it under the rug for Lisa."

"Mr. Jacob claims he treats both daughters equally, but is this your idea of fairness? It's so lopsided it could tip into the Atlantic."

"I don't know your past, nor do I care to judge it, but tonight's dinner has shown me Mr. Jacob's true colors. Let everyone here know, I, Neil, stand by Chloe. As for the Meadows family, we're keeping our distance."
