The conference room at the police station buzzed with reporters and cameras. I stood slightly behind Detective Pierce as she addressed the crowd, my face carefully composed despite the storm of emotions inside me.
"After thorough investigation, we have conclusive evidence that Dylan Ollie murdered his father, Andrew Ollie, and deliberately framed Juliana Johnson for the crime," Detective Pierce announced firmly.
Flashes from cameras nearly blinded me. Nathaniel's steady hand on my lower back kept me grounded.
"We have obtained multiple recordings confirming Mr. Ollie's guilt," Pierce continued. "Ms. Johnson has been completely cleared of all charges."
A reporter shouted from the back, "Ms. Johnson, how does it feel to be vindicated?"
I stepped forward, my voice steadier than I expected. "The truth always finds its way to light. I'm grateful to Detective Pierce and her team for their thorough investigation."
