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.

THE NEW OFFICE Annabelle was beholding an eyesight.The office was magnificent, coupled with the features and the blend of technology.She was just awed by the interior decor and the arrangement of the machines in the room.A knock was heard on the door.Reuben looked at Annabelle."

DECLINED- CAN MAKE YOU CRYGrandma and Louisa reached their mansion. It was already past midday, and lunch was ready.The househelp was already serving it when they went in.Grandma Anderson rejected the food and went straight to her room.Louisa knew at once what was wrong with her; she was sad about Christine's incident. Louisa shook her head and headed for the dining table.She had lunch alone and went to her room too.Grandma rushed to the room after refusing to eat and went straight to her washroom.She stood in front of the sink and washed her face three times.Her eyes had turned sore red, and she was breathing heavily.She had a flashback of what happened in the courtroom.She saw the reaction of madam Rebecca and the remaining family members. They were shocked and had their hands on their heads.They were all crying in pity for Christine.She saw one of them giving her a deadly stare.Her eyes were full of tears, and anger could be seen there.Grandma saw the look on Christ
HAVE A RENEWED HOPELouisa woke up from her bed the next morning.She got out of her room and headed to Grandma's room.After three consecutive knocks, without any response, she opened the door and barged in.Grandma Anderson was not in there.The bed was disorganised, and so was the whole room.She looked around.That was so unlike grandma. She was used to always laying her bed before going out.Louisa figured out that she might be in the study by then.She walked out of the room and made her way for the study room.She knocked on the door, and there was no response.She opened the door and walked in.Grandma was sitting on her chair and had her head bowed on the table before her.Her laptop was still on and was in front of her.Louisa looked at her in shockShe rushed over to her side and tapped her vigorously." Grandma, grandma," She called hurriedly, a sense of worry in her tone.Grandma shook her head before waking up.She looked up at Louisa and sat up.Her whole face was co
