by Carolyn Keene

aspects of cases with his blond, blue-eyed daughter.

We sold some old furniture to the two men in that van you saw. I don’t know who they were, but I guess the price was all right.”

Lmao what do you mean you dont know whothey were?

“We don’t know who the men were. They just knocked on the door and asked if we had any old furniture that we wanted to sell. We’ll never get the silver back!”

LMAO

Nancy set off in her convertible for the shopping district.

I think this definitely speaks to her wealth

“He never liked it with the Tophams, though,” Allison declared. “They weren’t kind to him, and he used to slip away to visit us.”

‘I have planned a big surprise to make you girls happy. But I can’t tell you now what it is. You’ll see it in my will.’ Those were his very words.”

This man clearly haf alot of money

Nancy and Grace were nearly on the verge of tears also, they were so overwhelmed by the happy news.

As Nancy debated, she saw a car coming toward her. Her hopes soared. She could not be mistaken—it was a police prowl car with a red revolving roof light!

🙄🙄🙄🙄

“Nancy, you might have been killed by those awful men.

EXACTLY

When she had finished, Carson Drew stared at his daughter with mingled pride and amazement.

He condoned this behavior smh lmao

I don’t like to have you take such risks. I am very grateful indeed that you are back home safe.”
