The Billionaire Pauper CHAPTER 196
THE MEETINGGrandma observed the guests who were just arriving, walking into the conference hall one after the other as they greeted each other and exchanged pleasantries.She heaved a sigh as she observed what was going on.She knew the investors might be thinking she would be there to bring to them some good news.She shook her head in pity for her own self.Then she checked her phone again to see if Louisa had replied to her message, but to her disappointment, there was no message.She breathed heavily in frustration.Although she knew Louisa would not be present at the meeting.She just wished she could speak with her before she went into the conference hall, at least for some few words of encouragement before she got in.She picked up her handbag beside her and go5 out of the car.Glancing at her wristwatch, she realized she had about ten minutes before the meeting started.She walked silently and hurriedly walked to the manager's office to spend the rest of the time there.A

REALLY PITIFUL FOR THEMGrandma raised up her head and looked at the man.She heard it right, and she knew that was exactly what he was going to say.The man looked around him.All the others around him nodded in agreement to what he was saying." We have worked with you for a long while, but I'm afraid and sorry to say this, but I think there is a misappropriation of funds somewhere in the company.If you can't rectify and correct that, it might have been okay, but to be running at a loss in the company, that is never okay.We run our businesses at a profit and can not afford to lose everything just because somebody somewhere is spending our money.I'm afraid I will have to pull out of the company"One other man said, and again, the rest nodded in affirmation with wicked smiles on their faces.The first man took out his briefcase and brought out a brown envelope." This is my withdrawal letter and the signing off of the contract I am pulling out of the company and expect to see m

THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE PULL OUTGrandma was shocked at what she saw over there.She saw her driver approaching from the crowd with a stack of envelopes in his hand. The driver wore a sad face. " What is going on over there?" Grandma asked the driver. She had seen what was going on, yet she wanted to understand if it was exactly what she was thinking.." The media men and women are here, and the people are having a talk with them.They are talking about what happened in the meeting.They are saying they have pulled out of the business, and that was the main reason they came around.". The driver answered Grandma shook her head in pity for herself.Then a thought struck her.If she stood there for a minute more, the media men might see her and might try to interrogate her too." Let's get out of here now."Grandma said to the driver and walked hurriedly back to the car.The driver quickened his steps and got into the car before her.It looked like it was already late as she had been

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO TELL THEM. Louisa got into her car and drove onto the highway. Her next stop was Grandma’s mansion.She was planning to tell Grandma what was going on between her and Ethan, yet another part of her was telling her to keep things calm and work on it, maybe, just maybe, Ethan was going to reconsider his decisionAfter much contemplation, she settled for the latter idea and decided not to tell Grandma about it.She just wanted to talk to her and calm her down.Although she wanted to stay with her, she did not want to involve herself in any calamity that was bound to befall them, beginning with the closure of their most profitable factory.As she drove in the traffic, soliloquizing, her phone rang.She checked the phone screen and realized that it was from Mr. David.She looked at the phone screen and began contemplating whether or not she should pick up the call.Thinking about it, she knew that Mr. David was literally the main reason why he was hav

HAVE A NICE DAYGrandma and Louisa looked at each other in awe.“ Let them in and direct them to the conference room. I will be with them shortly” Grandma told the guard.The guard nodded and left the room.Grandma and Louisa looked at each other.“ What do you intend to tell them?” Louisa asked her.“ I have a pretty good idea which is going to shut them up for good.Let me go get something proper to wear, I will be back in two minutes.” Grandma said and stood up from her seat.Louisa watched her as she left the study.She was wondering what it was that Grandma was going to tell them that was going to make them keep quiet.From what she knew, they were obviously on the losing side, and they should be rather calm instead of being aggressive. She just shrugged and got her phone from her purse.Glancing at the screen, she realized that she had an unread message.Her heart skipped a beat.She heaved a heavy sigh and opened the message.It

CHAPTER 202WHOSE FAULT IS ITMadam Rebecca was surprised by how Grandma Anderson was boasting of what she was saying.She was supposed to be ashamed of herself saying such things, but it looked like she was rather cool with it and did not even care about it.She wondered why Grandma was behaving that way.Louisa, on the other hand, was just observing what was going on keenly. She did not understand what Grandma was up to, but she just trusted her ( not like she had any other option left, tho)Madam Rebecca nodded and spoke. She was ready to counter Grandma and had b just prepared herself for it since she was the leader and speaker of the rest of the elders present in the conference hall.“ This factory we are talking about here is the most profitable business that this family ever owned.That is what we get about seventy per cent of the family’s riches from.How come the factory ran at a loss, to the extent of being closed down.It is not understandabl

GAME OVERMadam Rebecca read through the letter and was surprised by what she saw.As she couldn't believe her eyes, she passed on the letter to the next available person to read, and they kept passing on till there were about only two people left." I don't get this. How come we didn't get to know about this. How come you did not tell us that Reuben was the heir of the Brooks family? " Madam Rebecca questioned." It looks like you did not hear my first statement Rebecca, if I had known that Louisa was married to the heir of the Brooks family, would I have agreed on the divorce.Again, I also found out about it the very day we went for his coronation.As for this letter, I only received it within this week, and as it is stated in the letter, the deadline is today. That means we are officially in a debt of three million dollars.Now to save the situation, I have arranged for a meeting with them, of which they could not honor it, however, we have rescheduled the meeting to tomorrow,

As they sat down weeping, a knock came on the door. “ Come in please” Madam Rebecca said The door opened, and a guard walked in. “ There are some people here to see you ma'am” the guard said.

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,

The guard said.He handed over the envelope to Grandma.Grandma took the envelope and muttered a " thank you" as the guard left.She was curious as to who would send an envelope without a sender's address.Grandma did not touch any of his cutlery.

" 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.
