I HAVE ALREADY FILED The waiter served the food and left the table. Louisa heaved a sigh and cleared her throat. “ Please, I want you to be very honest with me. 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. Louisa took the paper with much nervousness and slowly opened the envelope. She wondered what was in the envelope that made Ethan so angry. She slowly took out some hard papers from the envelope and heaved a sigh. She took out the papers and stared at it. It contained pictur

Reuben nodded and smiled." But what was it about? What did Williams do that made them capture him and made him tongueless?" Andrea asked in surprise." Well, from my sources, he had intimacy with Louisa and kept a video of it.He tried using that to blackmail them, and Grandma Anderson did that to him after getting the video.Unfortunately, my sources have it that there are still copies of the videos somewhere with Williams that the Andersons do not know about."
