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

How come it's two million dollars now?” Grandma asked.The lawyer smiled at her.He knew grandma was not cool wit

Andrea replied.Annabelle looked shocked and wished she could convince her to stay, but she knew it was impossible." Did you just reopen?" Annabelle asked.Andrea shook her head in the negative." We reopened about a week ago, I just had to wait for us to finish up with our deals here and there before I left, and since we are done now, I think I can leave," Andrea said.Annabelle nodded." awwwn, I am going to miss you, Andrea," Annabelle said with a smile.Andrea stood up from her seat and walked to her side.Annabelle stood up and faced her, and the two fell into a long embrace.After they broke off from the embrace, they continued their farewell conversation."

NEW BEGINNING Grandma was in smiles as the law manager narrated the progress of the closure of the company.The manager wondered what made grandma smile.He thought grandma was also not cool with the fact that she had to close down the company and wondered why she was now happy that the company was about to be closed down. He, however, kept his thoughts to himself as he knew he had no option but to obey what his superior would tell him" Well done. You have tried your best and I called you here because there is some other news and information I will need you to note but before that I asked you to bring out a printed copy of the account I need to rectify something in there.

Annabelle replied as she went on with her business.Reuben went downstairs to where the car was parked.

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

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,

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
