Chapter 382

Two prison guards heard Chris admit to having Lillian poison someone. On top of that, the entire meeting between Joshua and Chris was under police surveillance. Chris, already in custody, confessed to directing Lillian's poisoning plot, which became a key piece of evidence. This confession made the police's job much easier.

Meanwhile, Joshua had his team help the cops, and they discovered a servant at the Fisher family's old estate had seen Lillian slip something into Ben's health drink. The servant, preferring to avoid drama, had kept quiet until now.

With everything out in the open and Lillian having cut ties with the Fisher family long ago, she came clean when the police questioned her. When Grandma Emily heard the news, she was so furious she nearly had a fit.

"What a disgrace! I thought she was just confused and being manipulated! Who would have thought she'd poison her own adoptive father?" Grandma Emily cried, tears streaming down her face.

"How could she be so cruel!" the old lady wailed.
