His Unveiled Passion

Chapter 357

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.
