THE POWERFUL LADLouisa recognised who the man was at once.

Hi, Louisa, how are you doing?" Mr David responded with a smile." I'm good, sir.Where are you heading towards?. Where is your car?"

Then I think the real cause of my unemployment is from this Reuben.Since he has so much power, he might be the one behind all of these, " Mr David said in a low tone.He was down.Louisa looked at him with pity.The once rich and arrogant manager of the delivery company was now a poor and humble unemployed man struggling to find a job.She shook her head in pity."

I did.Grandma approved for me to sign it, and I did.That was when We were in the mansion."[“...... You have also falsely slandered your wife. You have wrongly accused her of cheating.

I don't know what is going on, and I would appreciate it if you could tell me” Louisa said with a tone of sincerity in her voice. She was really sure the silent treatment she was observing from Ethan was not about the ghosting. Ethan shook his head and smiled wickedly. “ Are you really eager to know what you have done?” Ethan asked and frowned. Louisa nodded without a word, confusion written all over on her face. Ethan shook her head in the negative and picked up the brown envelope on the table. Without a word, he handed it over to Louisa.

" What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once."
