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.
