ANOTHER IDEA FOR YOUGrandma read Louisa's thoughts . She slowly opened the suitcase and turned it over to face the weather.Louisa opened their mouth wide in shock as she saw the contents of the suitcase. " Well, this is the money I am talking about. They gave us ten million dollars for the payment, and we are going to get the rest by the end of the day.so we will go to the courtroom tomorrow and come out victorious. We are going to pay the Brooks family their money, get our factory back running, and still have some money left for some investment in all of our companies.We will partner with Jake's family, and that will help us overcome all the plants from Reuben and his grandfather and the entire family. "Louisa was just speechless as she kept looking at the money as though she was mute. Grandma just shook her head with a smile as she looked at Louisa, who was just dumbfounded to speak." Does Madam Rebecca and her colleagues know about this?" Louisa asked.Grandma shook he

WE WILL TAKE OUR LEAVE NOWMonday morningBrooks mansion.Reuben and Annabelle were busily preparing to leave the house for the courtroom. Reuben was dressed in an unusual way, which got Annabelle surprised." Why are you dressing that way?" Annabelle askedReuben smiled wildly. "I will be in the courtroom but not as Reuben, but as a normal Spectator. Even grandpa will be there but not as a Roland but also as a normal spectator. We will all be present, and we will all be in disguise except for you and Andrea. you are going to represent the family, and I know those people will be disappointed that we are not around." Reuben explained "And may I know why that is?" Annabelle asked" We don't want to let them feel our presence there.Grandpa will probably show up but not in the early stages of the whole proceedings, and I will also be around but not with you and not with any of you I will be sitting among the crowd who are there to witness the whole proceedings, and you'll be wor

WE WIN" Well then, I think we should go now." Andrea said and stood up with her lawyer's suit. She motioned to Annabelle, and they both walked out of the conference room and down the hallway as they headed for the ground floor where their cars were parked. The two got downstairs and realized that Grandpa Roland had just left in a normal car and Reuben was nowhere to be found. A black chauffeur was parked outside with the driver standing beside it, smiling. The moment Annabelle and Andrea got to it, the driver saluted and opened the gate for them. Annabelle was quick to notice that there were two Range Rovers around, one in front of their chauffeur and one at the back of the chauffeur. Andrea was the first to get into the car, and then Annabelle followed.As soon as she sat in the car,Annabelle realized that the interior of the car was just as the same as Reuben's chauffeur. Just that this was a bit smaller than Reuben's chauffeur. As soon as they sat in, the door was closed,

So barrister, we have already spoken about this, and we know what we are going to do. Let's do this quickly and get out of here." Grandma said. The lawyer smiled and nodded. Madam Rebecca seemed a little bit surprised by the words from Grandma. She just looked at her as though she had a series of questions to ask." Do you guys have anything you're not telling us, or is there anything we need to know before we go into the courtroom?." Madam Rebecca said and gave Grandma a stern look.Grandma swiftly ignored the question and picked up her handbag from the inside of the car. She closed the door and reciprocated the same look to Madam Rebecca and went away. The lawyer walked back to his car and picked up his lawyer's suit and hi

COURT RISEThe car in which Andrea and Annabelle sat in stopped.“ We are here now.Our lawyer is also here, and we will speak to him before we go in” Andrea said.She hung her lawyer’s suit on a hanger in the car.The door opened, and they both got out, one after the other.Annabelle looked around with the corner of her eye.She noticed Grandma with Louisa and about two men and three other women.“ Look on your left side, but don't make it too obvious” Annbelle told Andrea as she tapped her on her hand.Andrea nodded and did so with ease.“ I have seen them. The guy in the suit is the representative of the Jakes family.Ignore them. Let us go and meet our lawyer now.” Andrea said and led the way.Annabelle followed her.Three other men from the Range rovers followed them as they walked.The place was less crowded as only the staff of the court could be seen around the place.A few media men who were going about their daily business around and a group of people who wer

WILLING TO ACCEPTOne man from the side of the Judge’s table stood up from his seat.“ Court rise….”Annabelle looked around. She saw one gate at the latter end of the podium being opened and figured out that the judge might be coming in. They all stood up in obeisance to what the man said." Court rise for his Lordship Judge Andrew Knight." The man said with a hoarse voice. The judge walked in and took his seat." Have your seats, please.." the judge said as soon as he sat down.Grammar Anderson quickly looked around to see if he could see Reuben or his grandfather, but to her surprise, none of them was present. She wondered why the two decided not to appear in the court when they had such an important issue at hand.She had wanted them to be in the courtroom so as to witness their victory as she thought that their absence would make their victory boring.She had wanted to make fun of them in the courtroom when they were leaving peacefully and happily, but it seemed her plans

That is a great win for us.”Andrea tol Annabelle and the lawyer.They all agreed with them.Just as they turned around, they saw Grandpa Roland standing behind them.Apparently, he had been there before the judge passed his judgment.The four walked out of the courtroom with smiles on their faces.After the judgment was passed, Grandma Anderson and her lawyer were exchanging glances.She frowned at him..“ I thought you said they were going to fine us only a million dollars? How come it's two million dollars now?” Grandma asked.The lawyer smiled at her.He knew grandma was not cool wit

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?" 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,

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."

" 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
