Don’t Fall for the Billionaire Lover

Chapter 551



Jacob and Lisa were in shock.

Jacob turned to Connor, bewildered. "What?"

Connor reiterated, "Drugging someone is downright despicable. If we let this slide, what does that say about justice and order in our world?"

Jacob's expression shifted through a spectrum of emotions. "Connor, we're family, remember? We should sort this out ourselves without dragging the police into it, right?"This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

A brief flicker of disappointment appeared in Chloe's eyes, but it was gone in an instant. She had long stopped expecting anything from Jacob. Sure, he was the man who raised her, but his heart was cold and self-serving. His pride and the family's image always took precedence over her well-being. Before Connor could reply, Neil stepped forward, "Has Mr. Jacob always played favorites like this?"

Jacob was caught off guard, unsure why Neil had decided to jump in.

"He gave the emerald pendant to his own daughter, letting her pretend to have ties with the Shaw family for social gain. Now, his adopted daughter gets bullied, drugged, and defamed, and you're trying to sweep it under the rug for Lisa."

"Mr. Jacob claims he treats both daughters equally, but is this your idea of fairness? It's so lopsided it could tip into the Atlantic."

"I don't know your past, nor do I care to judge it, but tonight's dinner has shown me Mr. Jacob's true colors. Let everyone here know, I, Neil, stand by Chloe. As for the Meadows family, we're keeping our distance."

"Since Mr. Jacob, the adoptive father, can't defend my goddaughter, I, as her godfather, won't just stand by and let her be mistreated."

Neil continued, "Chloe will be heading to the police station today. If anyone tries to interfere or bail her out, they'll be at odds with the Shaw family."

"The police will investigate thoroughly. If Chloe is innocent, we won't wrong her. But if those awful deeds were indeed her doing..."

Neil paused, his expression darkening, lips tightening into a stern line, his voice icy and firm, "Then Ms. Chloe will have a lifetime to think and reform behind bars."

The weight of his words was clear to everyone there.

Neil implied that if Lisa was indeed guilty, she'd spend her life in prison. And he used this moment to distance himself from the Meadows family, making it clear he only

recognized Chloe, not them, lines!

This

effectively cut off Jacob's chances of Jèveraging Chloe's connection to the Shaw family for social or financial gain.

Jacob's heart twisted painfully, as if being wrung out. He was near his breaking point, sweat dotting his forehead.

Just then, the police arrived

promptly. The butler had already filled them in and pointed out Lisa So, without wasting time, they approached her, "Lisa, you're

vel.ne

accused of poisoning. Please come with us to the station."

Lisa was utterly bewildered. How did things end up like this? Three hours ago, she had arrived full of

net

excitement, dreaming of bonding with the Shaw family and climbing the social ladder. How had everything flipped upside down in just three hours? Now she was facing arrest?

She couldn't go to jail. She refused to be locked up.

Realizing the gravity of her situation, Lisa clung to Jacob's coat, nearly tearing it off, "Dad, help me. I can't go to jail. I can't be locked up."

"I'm your biological daughter. How can you do this to me? Are you really going to throw me aside for Chloe?"

"You've abandoned me once already. Are you really going to do it again?"
