Chapter 46

Ellia and her assistants sorted out the audits in Christian’s study, explaining to them how it was arranged. And they started going through the stacks together. Russell somehow managed to convince his mother and Lucianne that he’ll be a good, quiet little boy doing his homework at a small corner table in the study while the adults around him worked. Xandar didn’t mind since he was far away enough from Lucianne. 2

In the following five years, it was to a firm called Tellilla & Associates. And in the final three years and early this year, the money was transferred to Wu Bi Corporation. Brigetta and Annie looked up the names of these companies. The first three
