The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 365

Charlotte had narrowly escaped death. She had pulled through, and her life was no longer in danger. But things didn’t look nearly as optimistic on James’s side.

The doctor explained that James had been poisoned for a long time. The toxin had already spread through all of his vital organs. At this point, no treatment could save him.

When Mrs. Jasper Sr. heard the news, her vision went dark. She collapsed on the spot.

The next day, Lilian visited the prison.

Across the glass divider, Vivian sat inside, dressed in her prison uniform. Lilian sat on the other side, holding the phone to her ear as they spoke through the intercom.

A mocking smile appeared on Vivian’s face. “Mrs. Jasper? Now that’s a surprise. I never thought I’d see you here.”

Ever since her feelings for Sean had been exposed, and Lilian had slapped her in the face, their relationship had completely fallen apart. The pretense of warmth between them was gone. Not long after, Vivian was kicked out of the Jasper household.

From that moment on, she had stopped calling Lilian “Mom.” Instead, she addressed her coldly as “Mrs. Jasper.”

Throughout Vivian’s arrest, trial, and eventual sentencing, Lilian had never visited her once. It was only Mrs. Jasper Sr. who had gone to see her twice.

Mrs. Jasper Sr. had always been blinded by her favoritism. Even now, with James at death’s door from poisoning, she still refused to believe that Vivian could be responsible.

Lilian’s gaze was cold. She didn’t waste any time. “Did you poison James?”

“Poisoned?” Vivian raised her brows in feigned surprise, but there was amusement in her eyes. “James was poisoned?”

Vivian’s heart lurched. When she heard that Joseph had tried to kill Sean, she blurted out without thinking, “Is Sean okay? Was he hurt?”

Lilian let out a cold laugh. “That has nothing to do with you. Right now, no one can save you. If you confess and admit you poisoned James, the law may see it as voluntary disclosure, and your sentence might be reduced. But if you wait until the police find hard evidence, you’ll lose that chance.”

“Reduced sentence?” Vivian sneered. “Do you think I’m stupid? If I really poisoned James, do you honestly think the Jasper family would let me go? A lighter sentence? That’s a joke.”

Lilian’s voice dropped. “So you’re not planning to confess.”

Vivian’s words were airtight. “Why should I confess to something I didn’t do?”
