The Betrayed Heiress Is Now the CEO’s Obsession novel Chapter 374

The facts of the poisoning case were clear, and the evidence was solid and overwhelming. Joseph was charged as the instigator, while Vivian was named the direct perpetrator. The prosecutor’s office officially filed murder charges against both of them.

At the same time, Sean submitted additional evidence of Joseph’s other crimes. The charges included kidnapping, illegal firearm possession, and running a criminal organization. These offenses, all committed in Jersey City, would be prosecuted together.

When the prosecution filed charges, their sentencing recommendation was immediate execution.

Sean ended the call and turned around.

The lunch tray in front of James remained untouched.

“Was that about the charges against Joseph and Vivian?” James asked weakly.

Sean gave a curt nod, his expression unreadable.

“What did the police say?”

“The poisoning was classified as attempted murder,” Sean replied evenly. “On top of that, Joseph is also being charged with kidnapping, operating a criminal syndicate, and several weapons violations. The prosecutor has recommended the death penalty. As for Vivian, she’ll face life in prison, since her attempted murder charge will be added to her previous sentence.”

James lowered his gaze and said nothing.

Sean glanced at him briefly, his expression cold, but didn’t speak.

After a long silence, James finally said, hesitantly, “I want to see Joseph.”

Sean’s heart skipped a beat. His eyes darkened instantly.

Even after everything Joseph had done to him, James still wanted to see him? Was that how deep his feelings ran for an illegitimate son?

Sean's expression stayed cold. A flicker of bitterness flashed in his eyes.

In that moment, he wanted to ask, "All these years, have you ever once cared about me? Have you ever loved me at all?"

But he didn’t say any of it.

“You can’t,” he said flatly. Then he turned to leave.

Behind him, James called out suddenly, “Sean, I’m begging you. Let me see him. Just once!”
