WE ARE HERE FOR THANKSGIVINGAnnabelle looked at Reuben in shock.Reuben nodded in confirmation to the words he had said.Annabelle was dumbfounded.SHe had heard that the Brooks family was a very rich family, but she never knew they were this rich.She felt like these people came on from another planet." Why do you seem so surprised about this?" Reuben asked.He noticed that Annabelle was really speechless and dumbfounded by the amount of money he mentioned.Finally, she found a shaky voice to speak." Why do you people still act as though you are just a normal family?You never behave like rich people do.Why?" Annabelle asked with a shaky voice.Reuben smiled." Well, we all believe in simplicity and ease.The fact that we are from rich families does not mean we should be going around flaunting our wealth.Surprisingly, no member of our family is interested in that.I believe it's because of how we were all brought up, ' Reuben answered.Annabelle nodded in agreement."

PURSUE JUSTICE" But lest I forget, she will be entitled to a lawyer, and from the look of things, your in-laws are going to find a lawyer for your granddaughter." The policeman said.Grandma nodded." That is not a problem for me.Since we still have the evidence available from her own statement and the fake jewellery, she can not escape this.She can only plead guilty for her sentence to be reduced.I am not afraid, and besides, I also have a lawyer too, and all odds are against them." Grandma replied and smiled wickedly." That is all for now then. You will hear from me again. I will let you know when the court approves the suit." The policeman said and rose from his seat.Grandma stood up too, and they exchanged a handshake." Thank you very much, officer. I very much appreciate your efforts to help pursue this to the latter, " Grandma said with a smile.
