You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 246

Three days later, the Police Department's Second Precinct announced to the public that a press conference would be held at 10:00 a.m.

Karl hosted the entire press conference on behalf of the police department.

The news media from every industry were present.

Jacqueline, Shelly, Charlotte, and Juanita were all present at the press conference.

Joyce, who thought it would be inappropriate for her to be in the public eye, and Luther both were watching the live broadcast from a lounge adjacent to the press conference site.

Previously, the police department had done a good job of keeping secrets.

Jacqueline and Shelly did not inquire about the latest developments. At this moment they were anxiously waiting in the audience seat. During this period of time, Jacqueline traveled around and used all her connections, waiting for today's announcement of the formal prosecution of Joyce.

Charlotte was called over by Shelly. In fact, she had really wanted to come, but there was no reason for her being there without an invitation, and it would look weird. Thanks to Shelly's call, she was able to come to the meeting openly.

Karl was wearing a formal police uniform and a cool police cap today. The stars on his shoulder patch looked extra shiny, and his awe-inspiring righteousness combined with his handsome appearance made many people present unable to take their eyes off him.

Juanita looked at Karl with an expectant face, the love in her eyes was undisguised. She had contacted Karl several times in private and was very satisfied with Karl's efficiency and attitude.

Ten o'clock sharp.

Karl stepped up to the podium and began his presentation on the case.

He then announced, "Based on the above findings, there is insufficient evidence to close the chain of evidence against Joyce in the case of Stephanie's murder. Joyce was released without charge. The murderer should be someone else, and once the police department has any more findings, it will keep the community informed."

The words fell.

There was an uproar at the bottom.

Juanita applauded straight away, getting up from her seat in excitement and clapping desperately.

Good for Karl, he didn't let her down.

Jacqueline and Shelly looked at each other. Obviously, Mr. Donaldson did not say so! Even last night, she and Mr. Donaldson on the phone, Mr. Donaldson did not mention anything about the Prosecutor's Office revoking the arrest warrant, but why today the conclusion suddenly changed? How was it possible?

In that case, Joyce's acquittal would be equivalent to the establishment of Stephanie's will, and wouldn't they ever get their shares back? No, she absolutely could not accept it.

At that moment, Jacqueline's phone rang, and a text message was received.

Jacqueline looked down to see that it was from Mr. Donaldson.

"I am sorry to say that things have changed and Karl suddenly submitted new evidence to the prosecutor's office this morning. The head of the prosecutor's office is Karl's father's old friend, and I can't interfere in this matter, and they intentionally concealed it before today. Now, there is not enough evidence to list Joyce as a suspect. And we could only let Joyce go at this time."

Jacqueline was petrified on the spot, and her fingers were trembling as she squeezed her phone.

At that moment, it felt all over.

Shelly caught a glimpse of it and looked pale. Was Joyce going to ride over their heads from now on? How could this be!

Charlotte didn't see this coming at all.

She had been clutching a pen in her hand, which had inadvertently been crushed by her. The fracture poked into her palm like a knife, piercing into her flesh. If it wasn't for the pain, she would have lost control of her emotions.
