Chapter 98
Ana
Today was the day of the summoning. I felt slightly nervous. But this was no time to be nervous, I had to be confident for my company.
I got dressed in a simple black lady’s suit, professional enough. I rushed downstairs and met grandma Mira already seated with Moon, having breakfast. I could hear shuffling souls in the kitchen, it seemed Claire came quite early today
was grateful that granny had hired her. Her help was sincerely appreciated in situations like this.
“Good morning mummy“ Moon greeted with excitement in his voice.
“Good morning, love, hope you slept well?” I asked,
- kissing his cute chubby cheeks,
“Yes mummy. I dreamt of me and Junior, playing and having a nice time.” He giggled.
“Tare. My smart boy rrally loves playing” I said, tickling him while he giggled endlessly,
“Good morning granny. Trust you had a great night?” I walked towards her, kissing her cheeks.
“Ah yes, the night was cool. I certainly did have a nice sleep. I know you probably slept late, thinking of today’s trial.” She said, and she was right.

At least have some breakfast before you go Granny said. At that moment. Claire walked out of the kitchen.
“Good morning ma’am” She greeted
“Morning Claire. Thanks for coming early today, I appreciate it
“It’s my job ma am; it’s what I had to do”
“Claire, please get some of that French toast and a cup of tea for Ana” Granny said to her-

106., okay. That was fast of you guys” I replied, ignoring his latter words. I imagined the situation over there, it would be like one of a cat and a House. They would probably be bantering with each other.
I soon trached the company. As I get out of my car, I noticed another car pulling up. It was Ivy, and the lawyer. I walked towards them, with Quinn and Terry following suir
“Good morning lawyer Carlton” I greeted the lawyer, stretching my hands for a handshake.
“Good morning: Mis Beverly It’s nice working with you.” She beamed, accepting the handshake.
“We need to be at the count before nine” she said, glancing at her wristwatch.

“Just that” Terry scoffed, while Quinn stroked his jaw thoughtfully.
“They would ac

We discussed some more, before we decided to move. Instead of taking different cars, we used Ivy’s Mercedes–Benz which could contain us all.
We soon arrived at the court, making a dramatic entrance, Ivy and I to be precise.
Because we were sure we would win. We flipped our hair and flashed smiles at the camera. Quinn and Terry looked at us like we had grown extra heads, while lawyer Carlton chuckled.

flashed on our faces, as the reporters crowded us immediately.

“Poor and helpless shareholders!” I scoffed, looking at him coldly
“Whether or not the rumors are true, you’ll find out soon” I said, flashing him a smile.
More questions were trooping which I ignored, as I walked in the purtroom. We entered the courtroom, and the shareholders Ben and Wills were already seated on the defendants bench with unig looks on their faces
