Grace rolled her eyes, like she was trying to remember something. “She didn’t go into details till I met Jacquelyn and Liberty recently”. Joanna does not really understand what Grace meant.

“I am talking about your grandparents not Jacquelyn and Liberty”. Grace nodded, “Yes!, if my grandparents were rich. Jacquelyn and Liberty would not have to be like that. They won’t have to stay in their parent’s house. While the house is looking like it will collapse soon”.
