BE IN YOUR BESTThe room went silent again till Grandpa spoke.“ So it's on, the time is already up, we have ten minutes and they should be here any moment from now.So Andrea, you should go down there and wait for them.I will be in the conference hall waiting for you guys.Reuben, I will send you a text when we start so you can come in.” Grandpa said.They all nodded in affirmation.“ Okay guys, excuse me now, I've got to take care of their asses, see you in the conference hall.” Andrea said and stood up from her seat.She walked out of the room and headed out.Grandpa stood up and cleared his throat.“ I will see you guys later. 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
IN ANOTHER MESSThe trio had agreed on the response they were going to say.“ So we have agreed on what we are going to say.We are not going to give you the factory.We are ready for the lawsuit” Grandma said.Louisa and madam Rebecca opened their mouths in shock.Louisa quickly pinched her, but grandma removed her hand.Louisa and Madam Rebecca looked at each other with shock on their faces.“ I thought we agreed on this” Madam Rebecca whispered to Grandma Anderson, but she shrugged again.Madam Rebecca knew that was the end.Grandma Anderson was not ready to listen to them, and that was it.She knew there was nothing she could do.The Brooks were going to take action.She freaked out at once but kept her composure.Grandpa Roland,Andrea, Reuben, and Annabelle all smiled when Grandma made known her decision.“ Well said then. You have opted for the lawsuit, and so be it.”Grandpa said and heaved a sigh.Andrea stood up from her seat and picked the last envelope in f
NO IDEAGrandma Anderson,Madam Rebecca, and Louisa drove after each other to Grandma’s mansion.They all parked their cars and got out.Grandma led the way into the living room while the two followed behind.Grand was actually angry and madam, Rebecca was not in the best of mood. Louisa was only concerned about how they were going to take care of the mess Grandma had just created.Grandma sat down in the living room with the paper she had taken from Andrea, still in her hands.“ You all should stop the apportioning of blame here.That was the best decision I could have ever taken.We can win this case, too.We equally have chances of winning” Grandma said.“ Are you really being serious here, Evelyn? Huh, are you really serious?We are going to hold a lawsuit from the Brooks family, and you really think we stand a chance of winning the case?Have you ever heard about the Brooks family losing a case in court before?Even in our case, it is actually worse
A WAY OUTLouisa walked out of the room with a smile on her face ..She heaved a sigh and walked into her car.As she sat in the car, a frown creased her face.She remembered the incident and thought about it.She remembered when Reuben entered the room with the lady.THROWBACK TO CHAPTER 207.Reuben walked in with Annabelle, holding hands.Reuben smiled as she entered.Louisa’s gaze fell on the couple at once.They were dressed up in the same coloured clothes and they looked as beautiful as ever.Reuben looked handsome and cute.Louisa could just not take her eyes off him.She wished she was the one walking with him as his wife.She just could not stand the sight of seeing another woman holding Reuben's hand with a smile on her face.Because she held the title as his Mrs. A title that she had long wished to be, not for anybody else, but for the heir of the Brooks family.Not with reuben.Louisa looked at Reuben’s face, and their eyes met.Reuben smiled wider and looked away
ANOTHER OPTION Grandma Anderson emerged from the washroom minutes later with a little bit of smile on her face.It looked like she went to have therapy in the bathroom.She quickly dressed up and went to the living room with the paper for the lawsuit and her mobile phone.She sat down on the couch and requested a cup of cold coffee from the househelp, and she tendered it in immediately. As soon as Grandma took the first sip off her coffee, a knock came on the door.She knew exactly whose knock that was as she was expecting only one person at that moment " Come on in," Grandma said and dropped the cup of coffee on the centre table.The door opened, and her lawyer walked in" Good afternoon ma'am" the lawyer greeted as he walked in" You are a welcome barrister.Please have a seat, " Grandma said and pointed to the seat.She wore very faint smiles on her lips.Grandma called out to the househelp and asked her to bring one more cup of coffee.The lawyer politely turned it down with t
