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
FIND A NEW EVIDENCE AGAINST THEMAfter the conference, Brooks MansionReuben walked out of the conference room after the meeting and took the way to his apartment.He quickly changed himself into some casual home wear and took his laptop.He sat in the living room with his laptop on his lap.He was working on a project and was quite busy.One of his househelp came over to him.“ Lunch is ready, sir. Can we serve it now?” she asked.“ You can serve it in fifteen minutes' time. My wife is not back yet” Reuben repliedHis focus was still on his laptop and did not look up at her.The househelp nodded and left.The door to the apartment opened, and Annabelle walked in."

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
PLAN CAPTURED Louisa's apartment Louisa laid down in her room, waiting for a reply from Reuben after her text.After about three minutes, she checked her phone, and the message was marked read, but it was not answered.She heaved a sigh and dropped the phone.She stood up and opened her drink, brought out a drink for herself, and sat down in the chair.She came back and sat down on her couch, enjoying her drink and watching a movie.As she was busily enjoying her snack, her phone beeped.She quickly dropped the drink and picked up her phone.She glanced at her phone screen, and the message was a reply to hers from Reuben.She hurriedly opened it and read the contents."

Alright, so as we discussed, I will go in first, and you will follow up later when you get my notification." Reuben said as he looked at her with a smile.Annabelle nodded and smiled back, and Reuben planted a kiss on her forehead and got out of the car.He tucked his watch firmly on his hand and looked around the premises.All was serene except for the people who were busily going around and going about their businesses.Reuben let out a so
LET'S COME BACK TOGETHER"Then you have to take something at leastAt least to show you are still not mad at me, please, " Louisa pleaded.Reuben smiled." So, are we done here?" Reuben asked." 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." Yes, that is the reason why I am asking you to promise me you are not going to be mad at me.Please, " Louisa pressed further" Alright, you go on.I am listening, " Reuben said and looked at her.Louisa smiled at Reuben before speaking."

MEET HERLouisa just kept looking at Reuben without saying a word." Now, if you would, help me welcome my beautiful wife here," Reuben said with a mocking smile.Louisa looked at him in a surprised manner.She looked behind him and saw Annabelle walking towards them with a wide smile on her face.Annabelle walked towards them and came to stand beside reuben.She gave him a lip kiss and sat down on the chair in the middle of the two.Louisa wished she could just strangle her." I wish you could just repeat yourself again.I want her to hear what you were talking about, " Reuben said to Louisa Louisa was totally speechless as she looked at the duo." I thought as much. You have nothing to say.And since you have nothing to say, we will take our leave now.We have a whole lot of things to take care of, " Reuben said and stood up from his seat Annabelle stood up too and held his hand, and the two of them walked out of the restaurant.Louisa watched as the two of them walked out of the
DETAILS OF THE CAMERAReuben and Annabelle drove back to the house, discussing what happened in the restaurant throughout the whole journey back home.They were just mocking Louisa's words and actions back in the restaurant." Did you get the camera?" Louisa asked as they drove into the big gates of the mansion " Yes, I did. I have it with me, and I recorded everything instead.I will go see what we got on it."

So, what are you going to do with the details on the camera?" Annabelle asked
