The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 371

The two prison guards heard Joseph confess with their own ears that he had ordered Vivian to poison James.

And the entire conversation between Sean and Joseph had taken place under police surveillance. As a detainee, Joseph’s admission was considered a formal confession under criminal law. With that in hand, the investigation became significantly easier.

Sean also assigned people to assist the authorities. Soon, the police uncovered that a maid at the Jasper estate had once witnessed Vivian putting something into James’s soup. At the time, the maid didn’t say anything. She figured it was best not to get involved.

Now that everything had come to light, and with Vivian already cut off from the Jasper family, she didn’t bother hiding anything when questioned. She told the police everything, down to the last detail.

When the news reached Mrs. Jasper Sr., she was devastated. She pounded her chest and cried out in grief.

“This is sin! Pure sin! I thought she was just misled and just confused for a moment. I thought she still had a good heart. I never imagined she’d poison her own foster father!”

Tears ran down her wrinkled cheeks.

“How could she do something so vicious?” she wailed.

Lilian, seated beside the hospital bed, looked unimpressed. “I told you long ago Vivian wasn’t as innocent as she seemed. But you never listened.”

Back when Vivian used to whisper nasty things about Charlotte into Mrs. Jasper Sr.’s ear every chance she got, Lilian had warned her that Vivian was up to no good. But Mrs. Jasper Sr. refused to hear a word against her beloved granddaughter.

The truth was, Mrs. Jasper Sr. had never liked Lilian as a daughter-in-law.

Mother-in-law drama wasn’t exclusive to ordinary families. Wealthy ones had it too.

Years ago, when James cheated, Mrs. Jasper Sr. despised the mistress, but that didn’t stop her from blaming Lilian for not being able to “manage her husband.”
