THE BIG BAG OF JEWELLERY Louisa stood up from her chair and walked towards where Grandpa was sitting.Although she was crying herself, she could not bear to see her grandmother cry.She comforted grandma, trying to make her stop crying.After minutes of comforting her, grandma finally stopped crying and began wiping her tears, sniffing at intervals.Her eyes were sore red, and her face was nothing to write home about.Grandma stood up from the chair with the help of Louisa and headed out of the study.Louisa was by her side as she walked out.They both walked to Grandma's bedroom.Grandma sat down on her bed and asked Louisa to go clean the study and lock it.Louisa nodded and went out of the bedroom. She walked back to the study to go tidy up the place.She knelt beside the stack of papers and the other items of Grandpa's old box scattered on the floor.She began picking up the papers one by one and arranging the items and scrutinizing the Palmers if she could find anything useful o

VALUE ALL THE JEWELLERY " You are quite right, though. I never thought of it that way. That is going to help more than we can imagine, " Grandma replied with a smile on her face. " Exactly, Grandma. All we have to do is go and value it at the pawn shop, and we will see how much we will get." Louisa said." Nope. I remember when your grandfather died, I called one of the finest crafters in the country to come value these, and it was about a million dollars as at that time, so I guess it will be more by now " Grandma replied.Louisas face brightened up." That is good news, at least that will help bring the company back to life. So when are you taking it to the pawn shop?" Louisa asked." Let me call him right away. There is no time to waste. He will be here by himself." Grandma said and quickly reached out for her phone.She dialled a number and placed the phone to her ear.After speaking on the phone for about two minutes, she dropped the call." He will be here in the best one h

CATCH THE CRIMINAL" But grandma, your study is always secure, and no one has access to it, so how will it be possible that someone changed it?" Louisa asked in surprise. " Yes, I know, and I still believe in what Mr Brown said. So I will investigate this.So you know anybody who would by any chance like to take this jewellery?" Grandma asked her." Nope, no one knew that this was even there. In fact, I never knew this was there. So I wonder who came to know of it and had the time to change it.Remember you lock this place at all times." Louisa replied, shaking her head." I get you, Louisa, but I have my own doubts too.Don't you think reuben can do this?" Grandma asked.Louisa was hit by the question.She was speechless for a short while before replying." But, reuben is rich. Even while he was here, he knew that he was rich, and he was from the richest family in the whole country. This jewelery would mean nothing to him. I don't think he would need them for anything, " Louisa
