Night fell and darkness enveloped the sky.

The chilly wind rose again and ravaged the land.

Jacqueline and Shelly were relaxing after their shower and before going to bed, and Jacqueline had been busy during the day making contacts and trying to get Joyce convicted.

She was tired after the long day, which made her look very poor, her breath and blood were all gone, and she was very haggard.

After thinking about it, she felt uneasy and called Mr. Donaldson.

When the call was answered, Mr. Donaldson naturally understood Jacqueline's intention, he said directly, "Ma'am, I'm sorry. I have some bad news, we could not replace the will of Stephanie in the materials handed over from Joyce's case. So I can't send the will to my close friends for analysis. I learned that Karl intervened in this matter, and he sent the will to the Capital Graphanalysis Center personally overnight and found Dustin, the most renowned graph analysis expert in the country. The report made by Dustin sure represents the final conclusion, and no one in the country can reverse it."

Jacqueline's heart skipped a beat when she heard that, and her instinct told her it was not good, so she hastily asked, "What is the result of the report?"

"As I warned before, Karl is a tricky person, and it's hard for me to get my hands on things once he gets involved. He has sent the report directly to the prosecutor's office, so the specifics are not clear to me now." Mr. Donaldson's voice was serious, "I highly suspect that the will may not be tampered with, but Stephanie's real intention. Otherwise, Karl should have reported the material to the police headquarters instead of sending it to the prosecutor's office. He did so for the sole purpose of applying for a revocation of the arrest warrant."

Jacqueline's heart sank to the bottom. Her shares were gone? Damn Stephanie, for what reason? Not leaving a share for herself and Shelly? This was outrageous!

"What to do, Mr. Donaldson, you must think of something to help me." Jacqueline's voice was frustrated. She hated it so much that she almost wanted to crush the phone.

"No hurry. There is still room for things to go. For now, our focus should be on convicting Joyce. If Joyce is confirmed to be the murderer, the will be flawed since it is likely that she had forced Stephanie into amending it. In that case, the contents of the will could be invalidated even if Stephanie herself changed it."

"Yes, yes, yes, I hadn't thought of that at all, thank you, Mr. Donaldson," Jacqueline said as if she saw a glimmer of hope.

"At present, all other evidence is against Joyce, and we can make the best use of it." Mr. Donaldson continued, "Of course, I will do my best."

"Don't worry about the rewards. I made the first payment to your overseas account this afternoon." Jacqueline said.

"OK, we'll be in touch if there's anything new." Mr. Donaldson finished and was about to hang up the phone.

"By the way." He suddenly remembered an important thing and warned, "According to what I found, Joyce is an orphan. The bail is thus extremely costly, requiring tens of millions of dollars, which ordinary people certainly cannot afford to pay. I suggest that you do not bail her out. It is more convenient for me to get things done in the detention center."

"I understand." Jacqueline obliged. There was no way she was going to bail Joyce out. She could not wait for Joyce to suffer more in the detention center, and it would be better if she could just die there. She had no reason to panic at the thought of death, but she was only thinking about it in her head, venting her anger. She just wanted her shares back and to be on the group's board.
