    When Cordelia was done eating, he waved for the servants to take her cutlery away and ced the


    laptop in front of her.

    Zephyr thought that it was odd too and went closer for a look. There were rows of entries and tightly


    packed numbers on the screen.


    “These are the ounts, not thepany’s, but the whole Hamerton Manor’s.” Liam’s tone was


    nonchnt. “Cordelia, have a closer look. See if there’s anything wrong.”


    “Grandpa—”


    Zephyr wanted to say something, but Cordelia privately put a hand over the back of his hand. She gave


    him a look and shook her head lightly. She knew that Liam was testing her.


    Since she had found out about the illegal trade on the western suburbs’nd being rted to Matthew,


    Liam had looked at her differently. He frequently asked Zephyr to take her home for meals and


    sometimes asked her questions in feigned nonchnce.


    Smart as Cordelia was, her answers had been tactful. She had been tested on her opinion regarding


    international politics thest time. It would not be economy and ounts this time, right?


    Cordelia took a deep breath and focused on theptop.


    The ounts wereplicated, with digits sticking to each other. Not only was it a chore to the eyes,


    but it was a chore to the brain too.


    She had to possess decent memory to analyze the data urately to find what was wrong, as Liam


    had mentioned.


    Cordelia calmed down and sorted through the ounts bit by bit. Half an hour passed by swiftly, and


    she had a basic outline of Hamerton Manor’s ounts.


    She moved the mouse and decisively circled some unreasonable entries.


    Liam squinted after a look. “These are for the children’s daily life at home.”


    “I know, so only a small part is removed. Basic necessities are still covered.”


    Liam arched his brow. “You call that a small part? What you removed isn’t a small sum!”


    “I wouldn’t be petty if it were a small sum.” Cordelia smiled. “I think the Hamertons don’t have to live so


    luxuriously. If they’re underage, it’s enough to receive a fixed allowance monthly.


    “If they’re adults, they should have the awareness to share the family’s burden and ought to go and


    earn their own money!”


    As Liam listened to her, he lit up suddenly. What Cordelia had highlighted were what he had wanted to


    remove as well.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Despite that, Liam still wanted to test her and said with a smile, “But I think… the Hamertons shouldn’t


    live too shabbily.”


    Cordelia looked him in the eyes seriously. “Grandpa, the Hamerton children’s living standards are


    already the best in Centrolis.


    “Besides, opportunities are birthed from worries, while death is caused bycency. People lose


    their will to fight when they live toofortably. You should know about this more than me.”


    Zephyr palmed his forehead with one hand, feeling the 70 dors allowance in his pocket.


    His action did not escape Cordelia’s eyes, and she smacked his hand under the table, ring at him


    without heat.


    Zephyr smiled and held her fist instead.


    “Mm, not bad.” Liam nodded. “What else?”
