Eleanor and Jessica''s expressions changed at the mention of the Supreme Court. They knew all too well that the current head of the Supreme Court was Rafael Eleanor nced at the boxes of ount books.


    "Since Eric deceived you as well, and you''ve already reviewed the ount books, Jessica will also need to go through them. Leave the books here for now. After we''vepleted our review, we will visit you personally to reconcile the ounts. Once the evidence is clear, we''ll send it to the authorities for proper action."


    Carissa sipped her coffee and smiled. "Aunt Eleanor, I''m rather impatient by nature. The ount books are here. Please have your ountantse over immediately to review them. If more ountants are needed, I can send someone to Ironridge Estate to bring over their ountants as well, We''ll sort it out tonight, and the ounts can be recalcted by tomorrow."


    "No, you can''t go to Ironridge Estate!" Jessica stood up, her face pale.


    Margaret and Leopold already had a poor opinion of her. If they found out about this, they might despise her even more.


    Jessica had had enough of their disapproving looks.


    Eleanor''s gaze was as sharp as a de. "What''s this? You call me ''Aunt'', but don''t believe me?"


    Carissa smiled and replied, "It''s precisely because I trust you that I brought the ount books here for us to review together. If I didn''t trust you, the ount books and Eric would likely be with the local authorities by now."


    Eleanor mmed her cup down. "How can so many years of ounts be reviewed in just one day?"


    Carissa smiled brightly and replied, "Aunt Eleanor, there are quite a few ountants for your estate and shops. I''m sure there are multiple ountants in your residence as well. Additionally, we can also call over the ountants under my natal family and the others from Hell Monarch Estate if needed."


    Eleanor sneered; she could barely contain her anger. "In the end, you don''t trust me!"


    Carissa''s smile widened, her tone still calm as she said, "Why don''t you and Jessica look at the final figure we''ve calcted? If you two trust me, there''s no need for further investigation. Just follow the figures I''ve calcted from the ount books."


    She leisurely traced the embroidery on her clothing with her fingertips, a gleam of satisfaction in her eyes.


    "Or perhaps, you don''t trust me, Aunt Eleanor?"


    Eleanor''s face darkened. It wasn''t a matter of trust. She knew well enough how much The Gilded Tower had earned. The figures were likely consistent with those in her own records.


    They were here not to reconcile ounts, but to demand payment!


    "It''s toote to review the ounts


    tore


    today. Leave the books here and go back," Eleanor said, waving her hand. "Take the ount books back to the storeroom. We''ll start the review tomorrow." to the storeroom. We''ll start the review tomorrow.”


    Immediately, several guards came in to carry the boxes away.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Helen grew anxious. Disregarding her daughter-inw''s advice to stay silent, she shouted, "You can''t take them away!"


    If they took the ount books, would they ever get them back? They were clearly trying to avoid paying!


    However, the guards were already lifting the boxes.


    A whip cracked through the air,nding sharply on the boxes. One of the guards, who had just reached out to lift a box, recoiled in fright at the crack, quickly pulling his hand back.


    Carissa''s face darkened. "Fine. If you


    won''t review the ounts, let''s take


    the boxes back to Ironridge Estate for inspection. If the people at Ironridge Estate won''t review them, then we''ll send them directly to the Supreme Court."


    At hermand, the servants who hade with Carissa to carry the boxes began to take them away. The guards from Harmony Pce began to push and shove, and the servants were no match for the guards. Within moments, the servants were thrown to the ground.


    Helen was beside herself with frustration. She looked at Eleanor, who was smirking coldly as she slowly picked up her cup.


    Did they think they could cause a ruckus in Harmony Pce, her residence?


    Eleanor had five hundred household soldiers at hermand. Since Carissa and Helen had brought in the ount books, there was no reason for them to leave with them..
