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."

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.

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." Reuben said as he pulled over in front of the main door that led to the inside of the mansion.He opened the door and made an attempt to get down when Annabelle tapped him."

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

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

" 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.
