"What is the difference between these two ledgers? The difference lies in the fact that one of the ledgers recorded all the transactions of bulk purchases of goods like sulfur and saltpeter by Navarre Commerce over the past two months, while the other has had most of the transaction records erased, leaving only a small portion of the content."
Lady Navarre slammed the ledger onto the desk, "Mr. Lodovico, your idea was perfect. You handed over the goods purchased by Navarre Commerce to your brother-in-law, intending to profit handsomely by selling them off with the fake ledger if the price of these bulk goods rose. If the price fell, you would present the real ledger and let the firm bear the loss."
Anna noticed Lady Navarre was signaling her with her eyes. Understanding her mother's intent, she obediently took up the ledgers and offered them to the senior partners present, but no one dared to take a closer look. She completed a circuit and brought the ledgers back.
