Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 521

Chapter 521 

“This is the old double–entry bookkeeping system. It looks complicated,” said Debra, squinting at the thick ledgers laid out in front of her. 

“You can understand it?” Marion asked, surprised. 

“Sort of,” she replied, eyes still fixed on the pages. “I haven’t seen this in a long time, so I’ll need to refamiliarize myself.” 

Debra examined the books closely. Beside her, Marion couldn’t help but watch her serious expression. 

“I didn’t realize you were so skilled. You even know how to handle this kind of bookkeeping.” 

Debra smiled but gave him a playful eye roll. 

“Did you forget what I studied? I majored in finance. If I can’t read these books, how could I ever manage a company?” 

Despite her light tone, Debra couldn’t help but feel a wave of gratitude toward Juan.

In her past life, she had loved him deeply and had worked tirelessly to learn everything about finance just to help him. She’d absorbed knowledge quickly back then. If not for the foundation she built in that life, she wouldn’t have understood any of this now. 

As she studied the ledgers, her brow furrowed deeper. Something’s off with these books.” 

Marion leaned closer, concern coloring his voice. “What do you mean?” 

“The numbers in these accounts… They don’t add up.” she explained, flipping to a specific page. 

“Look here. The Houston family’s foreign goods business shows an annual income of 300 thousand dollars. But the expenditures? 600 thousand. Where did the extra 300 thousand go?” 

Debra pointed out another entry. “And the Frazier family, our main business was cosmetics. Our income for the year was 100 thousand dollars, but the expenditures are double that.” 

She continued to scan the pages, her fingers tracing the columns of numbers. “Osborne family? Agricultural business. Yearly income: 200 thousand dollars. Expenditures, 400 thousand. Again, double.” Finally, Debra reached the ledger for the Potter family. Now, look at this one. Their total annual income was 1.2 million dollars, but the expenditure column is blank.” 

Marion’s eyes narrowed as he understood her implication. “You mean all the money from the other families eventually ended up in the Potter family’s pockets?” 

The two of them fell into a heavy silence as they stared at the incriminating entries. In the first year, all four families reported a loss, double their actual income. And in the end, every penny landed in the Potter family’s hands. 

The four families had all made false books.. 

Debra said grimly, “If these books are accurate, all we need to do is track the Potter family’s total annual income to realize that they suddenly gained 1.2 million dollars out of nowhere.” 

1.2 million dollars back then was equivalent to more then 1.2 billion dollars today.

That kind of money would have been an astronomical sum. 

Both of them felt a chill run through the room. The sheer magnitude of the sum was staggering. 

“Could this money be the treasure the four families were rumored to be guarding?” Marion wondered 

aloud.
