The Billionaire Pauper CHAPTER 207
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

WE CAN TALK THINGS OVERGrandma's eyes widened in shock as she heard that.She looked at the lawyer in disbelief." Why will the money have to increase like that? We are only asking for a little bit of time to sort them out.Besides, we are even struggling to pay the three million dollars. Why on earth will they add another half of a million to the money? " Grandma Anderson complained.The layer smiled faintly." I think you have to calm down.That was just an estimation from a true speculation.It could be more than that, or less than that, depending on the leniency of the judge.But with the issue of getting more time, we might get it.We have a fifty per cent chance of winning, " the lawyer narrated." Alright, barrister.I think we can do this then.I just hope we meet the lenient side of whoever is in charge and get to buy some time for ourselves." Grandma said with a smile." Well, ma'am, like I said, there is a fifty per cent chance.We could win it on that side, and we could

Grandma could just not bear to see her going to jail. She had broken down in tears right from the courtroom and had to be brought home. They had to bring her to the house forcefully. 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

A SCARY REALITYGrandma Andersons Mansion.Three hours later, Grandma had just alighted from her car with the factory manager.She saw madam Rebecca and Martha coming towards her.They all wore sad faces to meet her.There was an awkward silence amongst the trio as they welcomed Grandma, but Grandma did not say anything.She was just smiling through the whole process.The two wondered what there was to smile about the trouble they had at that moment.They went to the living room, and all of them sat around." 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?" Grandma asked.She was eager to know what was going on.The manager looked at Madam Rebecca." Have you told her yet?" She asked him.The manager shook his head in the negative" What is there to tell me, someone to speak

ALL IS UNDER CONTROLLouisa and Jakes were pulled out of the police van, with the handcuffs on their hands.They both looked surprised as they could not fathom how they had just been intercepted in the middle of their operation and arrested by the police.The police had confiscated their phones and all that was with them.Louisa had seen Reuben and Annabelle earlier at the scene, while they walked away, after Reuben told the policeman something.She was sure Reuben had found out about their plan and had laid ambush for them." 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,

ITS A STRIKEGrandma was in her room in a phone call.It was time for dinner and she needed to go eat.The househelp had served her meal and informed her about it.Grabdma came out to the dunning room when one of her guards entered, with an envelope in her hand." 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

TWO WAYSLouisa went to the hotel and met with Jakes as they talked for the last time.Jakes made it clear that he had confirmed news from the Brooks mansion that Reuben and Annabelle were going out on a date the following day.He, however, stated that they did not know exactly where and when they were planning to go.Louisa rejoiced with the news as she knew they were getting closer to victory.Jakes told her he had the vans ready, and they also knew where they would be sending Annabelle after they had gotten hold of her.He had a private ship that was on the shores of the seas, waiting for him.He planned on going back home with Annabelle on the ship instead of air.He was doing that for his own safety, at least,until things went calm.After about thirty minutes of talking with Louisa, they finally dispersed, and Louisa went back home to prepare for the day ahead.It was a careful and nice plan they had laid out there, and they were sure it was going
