Third–person POV:

The shop manager was left speechless. “Well…”

Laila didn’t press further. “By rights, the store has been open for several years now. There should already be customers reporting poor–quality gemstones. How did you handle that?”

A servant nearby picked up a fire poker and waved it slightly.

The shop manager trembled in fear and stammered, “We… We gave them cheap gifts to shut them up. Business was good this year. Ms. Knight said that next year, we would close the store.”

Laila let out a cold laugh. “I told you to speak the truth. You’re still hiding half the story. Do you want to swallow this fire poker?”

The red–hot fire poker was thrust right in front of the manager’s face. He screamed and fell to the ground. “No, no! I’ll talk! I’ll talk!”

Laila said coldly, “Then, talk! If you say even one lie, you will swallow this fire poker.”

The manager looked at the glowing iron rod and no longer dared to hide anything. He slammed his head to the ground. “Ms. Conlay, I’ll tell the truth. Ms. Knight planned that when things eventually came to light, everything would be pushed onto Princess Morgana. Since Princess Morgana is the most favored sister of King Vaughn and Prince Vance, she could take the blame. Then, M Knight would step forward to handle compensation. As for compensation… it would all come from leftover stock in Cloria’s sto They’re all cheap goods…”

He hesitated, unwilling to continue..

Laila didn’t let him finish. “So, Estelle would gain a reputation as a defender of the people, while Princess Morgana would be condemned as a corrupt merchant. And since compensation would be made with worthless goods, the losses would be minimal. In the end, they would profit in both money and reputation.”

The manager turned deathly pale and said nothing. Clearly, Laila had guessed correctly.

Laila gave a cold laugh and had him taken away. Then, she ordered the butler to calculate the total investment, Morgana’s contributions over the years, and all profits, split according to the seventy–thirty agreement, and bring the final total.

Ten minutes later, the butler returned with the account.

Laila glanced through it and handed it to Morgana. “Your Highness, check if the numbers are correct.”

“Alright!” Morgana took it with force, already prepared for battle.

But after one look, her eyes widened instantly,

“I… I gave this much money over the years?”

Including her initial investment, she had contributed a total of 320,000,

She had recorded every payment, but never realized the total was this enormous.

If Laila hadn’t brought her here and exposed everything, she would have believed it was a failing business and kept investing.

The 320,000 was just the principal. With this year’s profit included, the total profit reached 700,000.

Based on her share, she was entitled to 490,000 from the profits alone.

Combined, she now needed to recover 810,000 from Jenna.

Morgana’s confidence instantly deflated. She pouted. “That’s too much. I don’t think we can get it back.”

“No. We will get it back.”

Laila said calmly.

Morgana wanted to say more, but when she met Laila’s sharp gaze, her confidence returned slightly.

Yes. Laila was strong, so she would definitely help her recover the money.

Damn it. That was 810,000!

She remembered that Samuel had been in urgent need of funds recently. If she got this money back, she could give it all to him.

Thinking of this, Morgana felt motivated again.

“Then we should bring more people with us. It will give us more leverage.”

Laila replied, “No need. Just bring a few people to carry the account books.”

Morgana disagreed. “How can that be? We need protection! What if Estelle refuses to admit it?”

Laila said flatly, “I said no. We’re not going there to fight.”

Morgana insisted, “We must bring them!”

Gracie looked between them carefully and asked, “Then… should we bring them or not?”

Laila straightened her posture and said emotionlessly, “No.”

No emotion, but absolute authority.

Gracie looked at Morgana. Morgana rolled her eyes. “Why are you looking at me? She said no, so no then!”
