His Unveiled Passion novel 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.

The lead investigator, Johnny Jewell, was a stern-looking man in his 40s.

He spoke gravely. "According to Sophia, Jacqueline is currently the prime suspect. From her, we learned that when Jacqueline was still living in the Jacobson residence as an adopted daughter, she would frequently make herbal soup for Mr. Caleb.

"She also told us that Mr. Caleb had a fixed habit of drinking a cup of black coffee every morning. So, we focused our investigation on both of these routines, and we did find some leads."

Johnny handed two reports to Ralph.

"These are the lab results for Mr. Caleb's regular coffee mug and the ceramic pot used for cooking the tonic soup."

Ralph furrowed his brows and began flipping through the reports.
