How did you get these.” He sputtered in disbelief.Joseph laughed at him, he shrugged his shoulders. “I was planning on asking you, Why were you so desperate for the divorce papers? You thought you were the only person that had a copy of it. No boy.” He said, unleashing a deadly grin at Reuben."How did you get these.” He yelled angrily.“Boy, you better lower your voice.

My laptop was having difficulty, so I thought about using yours to finish my work,” he said, getting up from the seat and walking towards Ryan.Ryan stared at him in disbelief, he didn’t believe his statement.Ryan clenched his hand into a fist. He narrowed his eyes, suspicious pricking at the back of his mind. “You should have called the technician to get your laptop checked, my laptop is confidential. I don’t want you going through my laptop again or coming into my office without my permission.” Ryan said firmly.“But Ryan, we are brothers and grandfather said whatever belongs to you, belongs to me as well.” He said.
