Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Once the accountant finished calculating the amounts, the accounts were handed to Carissa.

After Carissa reviewed them, she nodded and passed them to Helen. "Mother, please have a look and see if the figures are correct."

Helen took the accounts and studied them carefully. She looked prepared for any potential confrontation.

However, as she examined it, her expression turned to one of shock.

"Did I really spend this much over the years?"

The total expenditure, including the capital outlay, amounted to an astonishing 136,000 silver coins, Although she had recorded each transaction, she had never realized the total sum would be so vast.

If Carissa hadn't taken her to review the figures and brought Eric in to be interrogated, Helen would have continued to believe she was incurring losses and would have kept giving away money to maintain her prestige against Dakota.

The 136,000 silver coins were the principal amount. The total profits from previous years plus this year's profit reached 186,530 silver coins.

According to her share, Helen was entitled to 130,571 silver coins from this profit.

Including the profit, she would need to recover a total of 266,571 silver coins from Jessica.

Helen's previously commanding demeanor instantly weakened. "That's quite a lot. It will be difficult to

recover."
