Emma stared at her sister, tears streaming down her face:
"This... this is impossible."
Her sister, Alexandra, smiled softly:
"Our parents hid me away, Emma. They told me you testified against them because you were jealous of me."
Emma shook her head, overwhelmed:
"No... I did it because they were criminals."
Alexandra nodded vigorously:
"I know. Uncle Thomas told me everything. I want to help bring them to justice... and get to know you, sister."
Ryan wrapped his arms around Emma, supporting her as she processed this life-changing revelation.
As officers led their parents away, Emma turned to Alexandra:
"Can we start over? Really get to know each other?"
Alexandra nodded eagerly, and the sisters hugged tightly, tears of joy streaming down their faces.
Ryan smiled, witnessing their reunion, and whispered to Emma:
"You deserve all this happiness."
Uncle Thomas approached, beaming:
"My heart is full seeing you both together again. Emma, your parents' crimes are finally exposed."
The police chief handed Emma a folder:
"Formal apology from the city and restitution for your family's bakery - Sweet Delights will reopen, courtesy of new investors."
Emma spun around, overwhelmed:
"My life... it's completely rewritten."
Alexandra took her hand:
"Sister, we have so much catching up to do. Want to start with dinner tonight... and meet my boyfriend too?"
Just then, Ryan cleared his throat, looking hopeful:
"Actually, Alexandra, may I steal Emma away for a little while tonight... I have something to discuss with her."
