You Hit My Heart (Joyce and Luther) novel Chapter 247

She had calculated every step and had even killed Charlotte, but even after all the things she had done, she just could not get rid of Joyce.

Instead, Joyce got Stephanie's inheritance, 10% of the group, what an astronomical fortune? She was now even wealthier than the entire Heath family!

And she lost her share inheritance before she could marry into the Warner family.

Damn Stephanie, she was really too complacent, forgetting that Stephanie had been in the business world all her life. She should know she was just not so easy to deal with. She was too careless and did not expect Stephanie could still trip her up before she died.

She hated it so much that she almost gritted her teeth.

"Next, you may ask questions." After Karl's announcement, he began taking questions from reporters.

One reporter was the first to ask, "I heard that Stephanie's will was changed before she died and Joyce shall get 10% of the group, which was quite unprecedented in the history of the Warner family. Is there really no tampering?"

Karl pulled a copy of the graph analysis from the file. Put it under the projector and project it directly onto the big screen.

"The most authoritative graph analysis agency, the industry's most qualified analysis expert, Dustin Rodgers, gave this final analysis report."

He read, "The handwriting and writing marks have been repeatedly authenticated to confirm that the will changes were made by Stephanie herself."

The crowd at the bottom mingled.

It seemed that the will was true.

Another reporter asked the question, "The deceased died of asphyxiation. Outside rumors are that Joyce used a pillow to smother her to death, please release the truth."

Karl replied, "According to the forensic conclusion, the deceased died of asphyxiation. But the means used is not clear. But definitely not with a pillow. Covered with a pillow, the facial bleeding points would be heavier, there would be contusions on the mucous membrane of the mouth and lips, there would also be subcutaneous bleeding or contusions on the face, and bleeding points would be obvious on the combined membranes of the bilateral bulbous lids. The deceased did not have these features."

"Could the deceased have committed suicide? Heard that the deceased had terminal lung cancer, could it have been a natural death caused by the disease?" A reporter asked.

"At present, the police still believe that the possibility of homicide is high, but do not exclude that the natural death caused by disease, but there is no medical evidence to prove that the deceased had cardiac arrest, or acute pulmonary infarction, etc. So the police will continue to pursue the truth." Karl replied.

One reporter asked, "What evidence is there to prove Joyce's innocence? The public is very concerned and think that a suspect cannot be released for no reason. There has to be an explanation for everyone."

After the words, a group of journalists at the bottom started to whisper.

Jacqueline had actually bribed some of the journalists in order to create pressure on the police department at the scene.

Karl raised his hand, signaling for silence, his voice clear, "The police department cannot reveal relevant evidence. Given the unique circumstances, we will now show you a video surveillance."

He said, he opened a long-prepared materials, on the spot to play the video of Joyce in the cab to calling Juanita.

After the video, the reporters there were all silent.

Karl explained, "In this incident, the person who called the police is Joyce herself. Although it could not directly prove Joyce innocent, but make the existing chain of evidence far from close. Since what we currently had was insufficient evidence, the law would ask for a release of Joyce."

He paused, closed the large screen and put back the material.

Finally, it was announced, "This will conclude today's conference."
