KEEN TO SEE THE ENDGrandpa nodded in affirmation as he heard that.“ That is a good development then.I would like to see the look on her face when she gets to know all these things.”|Grandpa said and grinned loudly. 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." Reuben exclaimed." Wow, this is really serious.As much as this guy offended them, he did not deserve to be treated that way.The law will still fight for him when the police get to know about this." Andrea replied." Well, the guy is still in the hospital receiving treatment, and the police are still inv

You are welcome ma'am" one of the policemen who knew her greeted her as soon as she entered." I want to see Louisa now," she fumed, ignoring the greeting from the policeman." Certainly ma'am, you have to wait for just a few minutes. I will be right back with you, " the policeman said with a dry smile and walked back in.Grandma stood in front of the policewoman at the reception.She looked at her with a deadly look, and the woman did her best to avoid the gaze and ignore her.Grandma stood there shaking vibrantly.She could feel her knees hurt from the stand, but she ignored the pain and stood there.Her only aim at that time was to see Louisa and speak with her, and that was exactly what she was doing.After standing for about three minutes, she was already losing her patience.Just

Is this what your plan led us to? In prison?" Louisa screamed out to Jakes when they were arrested.All she got was a caution from the police to keep her mouth shut, with the addition that whatever she said at that time could be used against her in the court.Louisa knew that was the end.They had been caught in the act, and she was sure that the boys were going to confess that Jakes was their leader.She was caught with Jakes at the same time at that scene,

" What just happened here? Why is Louisa and that man being arrested? Who are those men? " Annabelle asked all at once." Let's sit in the car and speak for a bit.There are still a lot of things you need to know, " Reuben said as he unlocked the car with the remote.He opened the door for Annabelle to sit down and closed the door.He walked to the driver side and sat behind the steering, roaring the engine to life." I'm ready for the questions now, but before to ask, let me begin with narration," Reuben said as he drove out of the parking lot and out of the premises." I know you have a lot of questions. First of all, our date has not been canceled. We are on our way to a new restaurant.
