Revenge is best served cold novel Chapter 1173

Lennon took a moment, furrowing his brow as he asked, "So, what exactly was recorded in those accounts? Do any of you remember?"

Sophie nodded, "The ledgers showed some pretty weird transactions for the Russell, Tredgold, and Costello families. There was a huge gap between the listed food items and the actual goods, which led to a combined loss of 1.2 million dollars for the three families. Meanwhile, the Aldridge family somehow brought in that exact amount. So, Colby and I felt like our families were basically propping up the Aldridge family."

"Propping up the Aldridge family..." Lennon’s frown deepened. "Let me think this over..."

Adler jumped in, "What’s there to think about? It’s obvious the Aldridge family’s leader back then was clueless, only focused on intelligence, and ended up knowing nothing, making our families cover for them!"

Jenna, hearing this, smacked Adler on the head. "Did you even think before you said that? Look at Mr. Gordon; does the Aldridge family look like they can't make money?"

"Well... just because Mr. Gordon can make money doesn’t mean his father or his ancestors could!"

"..." Jenna shot him a dark glare.

How could Adler say something like that with such confidence?

Lennon, with his brows tightly knit, seemed lost in memories. "Alright, you all head back for now. I need some time to really think this through..."

Adler and Jenna exchanged glances.

Finally, Sophie broke the silence, and the group left the Costello family's estate.

"I think Lennon’s getting old. His memory isn’t what it used to be," Adler speculated while driving. "He probably doesn’t remember his own father’s affairs clearly."
