Chapter 49: The Second Ledger

The room was eerily quiet as Elias's words hung in the air. Scarlett stared at him, her mind racing. Nathan shifted uneasily beside her; his brows frowning in suspicion.

"A second ledger? How can that be?" Nathan asked, his voice sharp.

"What are you talking about? Do you mean we just risked our lives to get only a peanut." he said running a hand through his hair as he paced the room in disbelief? 

Elias crossed his arms, his expression firm as he stared at both of them intermittently with a disbelief of how ignorant they are.

"The ledger you found implicates Grayson, but it's only the tip of the iceberg. The second one ties everything together—Richard's dealings, Alex's rise, and even Scarlett's involvement. Grayson isn't just a rival; he's been orchestrating this from the shadows." He said as he moved closer to his chair and sat down crossing his legs.
