During the years Caroline had been managing the household, the accounts had always been crystal clear, a pleasure to review.
Checking anything was a breeze.
"Yes, Caroline was very efficient..."
Sylvia mused quietly, it was just too bad she didn't mesh well with the Johnson family.
"Grandma."
Cara had come over today with some concerns. "I've noticed some discrepancies in the accounts, and I'm not sure if it's due to my lack of experience, so I brought them to you for a second opinion?"
"Really?"
Sylvia perked up, "Let me see what seems to be the issue."
"Here." Cara handed over the ledger to Sylvia, "Comparing the past records with the current ones, these figures seem off. Do you see what I mean?"
"Let me have a look... Oh?"
Suddenly, Sylvia paused, peering over her reading glasses.
She feared she might be getting senile, rechecking the figures, "This isn't right... What's going on here?"
Sylvia looked up sharply, her expression growing more serious.
Cara had stumbled upon something significant!
Seeing the look on Grandma's face, Cara was sure her suspicions were not unfounded.
"Grandma, what should we do about this?"
"Do something..."
Sylvia furrowed her brows, nodding firmly, "Of course, we must take action!"
How could they not?
Picking up her cell phone, she dialed a number.
"Hello? Grandma?"
The call was to Caroline.
"Caroline, it's me. Can you come over? I need to discuss something with you."
"Sure, Grandma."
After hanging up, Sylvia's expression didn't lighten in the slightest.
Thinking it over, she realized consulting Caroline alone wouldn't suffice... Ah, there was Gilbert!
Over the years, one had managed external affairs, the other internal. Was he aware of this situation?
