Chapter 361

The two prison guards were witnesses to James' confession. They had personally heard James admit that he had ordered Jacqueline to poison Caleb.

In truth, Stephen and James' meeting had been under police surveillance the entire time.

James was currently a suspect in custody. Since he had personally admitted that he was the mastermind pulling Jacqueline's strings in the poison case, his statement qualified as a confession, making it a key piece of evidence in this criminal case.

Now that they had James' confession, the police could proceed with their investigation.

Stephen had also sent his subordinates to assist the police. That was when they discovered that a servant at the Jacobson residence had witnessed Jacqueline dousing Caleb's tonic with an unknown substance.

The servant had chosen to stay mum on the matter due to her desire to keep out of trouble.

Now that the truth had come to light and Jacqueline had long since been expelled from the Jacobson family, she didn't hesitate to spill the beans to the cops once she was questioned.

When Rowena heard the news, she could do nothing but clutch her chest in grief and anger.

"How could this happen? How? I only thought Jacqueline was a foolish girl who had been taken advantage of. I thought she was a good person at heart. I never expected her to poison Caleb, her adoptive father!" Rowena's eyes were filled with tears, clouding her vision.

"How could she do this to us? How could she be so vicious?" she cried.

Sophia had a mocking smile on her face as she sat by Rowena's hospital bed. "Rowena, I told you that Jacqueline isn't as she seems. Yet, you've never once taken my advice seriously."
