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

A FLEET OF CARS??“I can not go with you” Annabelle said and looked at him.Reuben looked at her and grinned.“ And why will you not?You gave me this idea. You should be there.Besides, we have to go together so that she will get disappointed.It will be a part of the process to foil their plans.” Reuben said.Annabelle was chewing a morsel of food in her mouth, so she kept quiet and nodded until she was done before speaking.“ I can't go with you.I have a meeting with Andrea later today. So you will have to go alone.” Annabelle replied and continued eating her food.“ I will speak with Andrea. She will reschedule it, and we will go,” Reuben replied mockingly.Annabelle was about to say something when her phone rang.She picked up her phone and glanced at Reuben in surprise.Her eyes were wide open in shock as she looked at Reuben.Reuben wondered what he did that earned him that look.“ What is wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?Why are you not

No, I also have another thing to tell you.But I want you to promise me you are not going to be mad at me, " Louisa said and let out a silly smile. Reuben rolled his eyes and shook his head." If you think I am going to be mad at you, please don't say it.If you think I am not going to be mad, then you can go on with that,' he 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?"

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.

" 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
