Caleb asked, "What was recorded in those ounts? Do you remember?"


    Debra replied, "The ounts showed some strange discrepancies. The ie and expenses for the Fraizer, Osborne, and Houston families didn''t match up. There were big differences in food and goods records, with abined loss of 1.2 million. Meanwhile, the Potter family gained the same amount that same year. Marion and I believed the three families were subsidizing the Potter family." "Subsidizing the Potter family," Caleb muttered in thought. "Let me think this over."


    Randy blurted, "What''s there to think about? It''s obvious. The Potter family''s leader was obsessed with intelligence gathering and clueless about everything else. In the end, we had to cover for them."


    Erica smacked the back of his head. "Do you ever think before you speak? Look at Andrew now. Does he look like someone who doesn''t know how to make money?"


    "It doesn''t mean his dad or ancestors were good at it," Randy retorted.


    While they were bickering, Caleb lost himself in thought. "Alright, you can head back now. I''ll need some time to think about it."


    Debra nodded, leading the group to leave.


    "You know, Caleb''s getting old. His memory''s probably fuzzy about what happened back then," Randy said while driving the car.


    Erica rolled her eyes. "Come on. He''s not like your dad. Have you ever


    seen

    can you do the same?"


    "I..." Randy tried to argue, then deted. "Maybe I can''t, but Marion can do it


    without breaking a sweat."


    "I''m asking you. If you can''t, stop talking and drive," Erica sulked.


    Debra fell into deep thought.


    Marion noticed and asked, "What''s on your mind?"


    "I''m thinking about the Potter family," Debra said. "They control


    intelligence, knowing the details of every business in Seamar City.


    They''ve tracked changes in the


    business world. They must have detailed records of their own history. As the head of the family Andrew might not know every detail, but he''d understand at least seventy to 80% of it."


    She paused before continuing, "Why did he stay silent when we brought up the hidden treasure?"


    Erica and Randy exchanged looks, both finding the situation odd. If ? even Andrew didn''t know what the treasure was, the rest of them


    probably would not find anything.


    Given how eager those people were to get the so-called treasure, they must know


    what it was.
