Her Graceful War Song (Carissa Sinclair) novel Chapter 368

Chapter 368

Carissa first sought out Luke to get a general understanding of the situation and the current status of The Gilded Tower.

Luke assured her that there was no need to worry. They had Eric in their custody and had sent some people to monitor The Gilded Tower, ensuring that no one could slip out to send a warning.

Feeling reassured, Carissa headed towards the accounting room.

Helen had not yet finished reviewing the accounts, but the entire room was filled with people kneeling in fear and anxiety. The place was in disarray–anything that could be thrown from the desk was thrown, except for the account books. Several cups had also been smashed.

Helen’s hair was a mess, and her face was pale with anger. Upon seeing Carissa, her feelings of grievance and humiliation reached its peak, and she burst into tears.

“How could they do this to me?!”

Carissa entered the room, and addressed everyone, “Please rise. Everyone except for the accounting staff, leave the room. Gillian, you too.”

There were quite a few accountants employed in Hell Monarch Estate, and there was also a head accountant. All of them were trembling on the ground, having never witnessed such fury from Helen before.

The servants, who had been waiting in the room, breathed a sigh of relief as they stood up and left. Eric, still on his knees, was also escorted out.

approached Helen, and took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears. “Have you finished reviewing all the accounts?”

“There are still this year’s accounts left,” Helen replied, taking the handkerchief to wipe her tears and runny nose.

Carissa’s return had calmed her somewhat, but her feeling of being insulted remained strong.

“Even if we don’t consider this year’s accounts, The Gilded Tower made a profit of thirteen thousand silver coins. Yet, she kept coming to the palace asking me for money, claiming continuous losses and needing to cover rent and wages for the workers.”

Carissa helped Helen to her feet. “Let’s get some coffee and eat something. Have the accounting staff finish the rest of the calculations. Once they’re done, I’ll review them. Then, prepare your contract and get ready to go to Harmony Palace to reconcile the accounts with Jessica.”

Recently, Jessica had been staying at Harmony Palace. She hadn’t appeared when Carissa went to retrieve the Mystic Pearls yesterday. But as she was in charge of The Gilded Tower, she had to come out to settle the accounts.

“Why would I want something that’s yours? What is rightfully yours is yours. The Gilded Tower is far more profitable than a makeup shop. Not only should you get what you’re owed, but since you hold the majority stake in The Gilded Tower, you should also be the one to manage it. Those women won’t be able to swindle even a single coin from you in the future if you do that,” Carissa said.

them. I thought that if they made a profit, it wouldn’t matter if they took a bit more. I never expected them

to be so evil! Aren’t they afraid of their reputation being ruined?”
