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,

CHECK, CHECK, CHECKTHE BROOKS MANSION, SATURDAY AFTERNOONReuben and Annabelle were busily preparing themselves for the meeting ahead.Annabelle, in particular, wanted to dress casually, but Reuben insisted he wore a very elegant dress he had gotten from the boutique.Annabelle was confused and asked him why.“ I want my wife to be at her best for a meeting where we will be the superiors.They thought I was a stupid beggar, but I want them to know that my wife is better than them all” That was Reuben’s reply.Anabelle had laughed it off and agreed to do just that.Now it was time to get prepared and go to the meeting room. However, Grandpa had told them he wanted to have a private meeting with them before they would go meet the Andersons.Annabelle had just finished dressing up and was putting on a pair of high-heeled shoes.Reuben had just finished bathing and was putting on his clothes.“ You have to speed up, or else we will be late for the meeting” Annabelle cautioned.Reuben grin

But Reubven, please remember.No, pity or empathy. It's business.” Grandpa said and walked out of the room, leaving them alone there.“ Why do they keep repeating that you should not have mercy on anyone?” Annabelle asked as soon as Grandpa closed the door behind him.“ Probably because they think I am too pitiful.They say I am so calm and like

THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE GOODThe three approached the lady who was still smiling.“ You are welcome ma’am. This way please” Andrea said and led the way.Without hesitation, they all followed her without a question.Andrea led them to an elevator where they got inside.The atmosphere was tense as nobody spoke to anybody.Andrea stood in front, with her back facing them..They all looked at themselves and signalled themselves , wondering why the lady was not speaking to any of them.Andrea led them through the hallway to the conference hall.She opened the door and stood aside for them to pass.They looked at each other and walked in..They all seemed shocked when they saw Grandpa Roland Brooks sitting on a chair at the head of the table.“ Please sit down on the chairs.” Andrea said.They all obeyed and sat down.Grandpa Roland smiled devilishly as he observed how Grandma Anderson was obeying Andrea like she was just a little girl.They all sat down and looked at

A NEW PLAN OUT Reuben cleared his throat, bringing all of them out of their thoughts.“ Well,sorry for being late. I am here now, and I have been listening to what is going on, and I am already aware of your mission here.Okay, so not wanting to waste your time, I will go straight to the point.So firstly, I would like to talk about the letter.Since it was between the Brooks family and the Anderson family, it has been passed on to us, that is; Mrs Anderson and myself.With the issue of the ultimatum, I don’t think we will be able to extend the ultimatum for you guys.You know this money has been with you for the past six years.We can no longer give you time to do anything else.Just so you remember, as the days go by, the interest increases.So we can no longer give you time to do soAgain, we can not give you the payment plan to pay in instalments since it was actually stated on the contract that the money was supposed to pay the money at once once the co

WE HAVE A SUGGESTION Grandma cleared her throat before speaking.Reuben and his crew fixed their gazes on her.“ Well, sorry for the delay. We were deliberating on something.We have actually thought about the contents of the letter, and we have actually come to a collective decision.Unfortunately, our answer can neither be no nor yes.However, we have come to the conclusion that we will release the factory in your possession for an agreed number of months, in that case, we will get our factory back after the agreed time and you would have also gotten your money by that time.So, this is our response, and we do hope you accept it” Grandma said.Reuben and Grandpa looked at each other and then at Andrea, who was smiling.Grandpa nodded his head, and Andrea sat up.“ I am very sorry, ma'am.As Mr Reuben said earlier, this is the decision we have taken.Either to get the factory or you face the lawsuit.Just remember it is an offer we are making you.You have to cho

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. Grandma was absent-minded about the whole surroundings as she kept weeping. “ Who is that?” Madam Rebecca asked. The guard did not reply. Instead, he stood aside. Three policemen walked in with one other man. The man without a uniform came forward. He had an ID in his hand and a paper in the other hand. “ My name is Mr Andrews, and these are inspectors Jack and Jill, we have an arrest warrant against Mrs Evelyn Anderson, and we

THE VISITThe driver drove into the premises of the police station.The sun shone high above the sky, and everywhere was bright light.Grandma got down from the car and hurried towards the entrance." 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

Where is Louisa? I was told she was coming to the hospital to see me but she never came.Where is she now?" Grandma asked.She noticed that everybody else's face changed at once.She suspected that something was wrong." What is it? Why is no one talking to me?"

She asked him.The manager shook his head in the negative" What is there to tell me, someone to speak

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,

Excuse me ma'am, there is a parcel for you," the guard said as soon as he walked in." Who is it from?" Grabdma asked " There is no sender's address, only the delivery address, and that is here." 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. Instead, he opened the envelope to see the contents.The envelope contained a single sheet.She took out the paper and read the contents of the paper."

THE PLACE WHERE IT ALL STARTED"What is going on here?" Annabelle asked in surprise.She could not just fathom what was going on, although she knew she was just about being kidnapped.Reuben held her hand and led the way back to the car, away from the sirens and the people who were being arrested. " 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.

So we are going there earlier, so we can monitor their movements, they should be there around 5pm, and we should get there about ten minutes before them.Everyone else is ready over there, and this should not take a long time.We will pull out quickly, " Jakes said.Louisa nodded.She was okay with the explanation and how things were go
