Chapter 356 Chronic Poison (2/2)

Jacob's face was drained w

savored the felicity that fizzled in his heart.

”I want you to be my dad,” she said. Beryl rubbed her eyes, then complained to Jacob, ”But mommy doesn't want me to call you Daddy.”

Jacob lowered his head, gave her a soft kiss on the forehead, and then gently whispered, ”Then we don't need to tell her. It will be our little secret, okay?”

”Okay!” Beryl was over the moon with excitement.

”Your mommy asked me to pick you up. Let's go and meet her.”

”Okay. But how about Zoe?”

”She had an emergency, so she had to go home first.”

Jacob hid the bitter truth from Beryl. He wanted to preserve her innocence and keep her away from the bad things.

Outside, the two policemen handcuffed Zoe and were about to take her away.

As expected, Zoe refused, and screamed out, ”What on earth are you doing? I did nothing wrong! You can't take me away like this! I have a child at home to look after...”

”Miss Zoe, we are placing you under arrest under suspicions of attempting to poison Miss Lu. We need you to come to the station to help us in our investigation. If you are found innocent, you will be discharged.”

”I didn't do anything, I don't even know what you're talking about...” she pleaded.

”Miss Zoe, you can say whatever you want to say back at the police station.”

Suddenly, Zoe started to panic, because she knew that she wasn't innocent. She was afraid that she wouldn't be able to get out once she got taken into police custody! The two policemen followed Jacob here. Perhaps he knew something?

Zoe yelled, ”No! I want to see Mr. Gu!”
