The Enigmatic Return (Neera and Jean) novel - Chapter 159

However, she quickly dismissed her thoughts and refocused her mind. The affairs of the Beauvort family were too complex, and there was hardly any genuine affection among the relatives-only deceit, scheming, and power struggles. Neera reminded herself that she was merely a contractual wife to Jean. She neither had the qualification nor the obligation to interfere in their affairs. It was best to mind her own business. "Sweethearts, why don't you play for a while on your own?

Mommy will go take a shower." She patted the triplets' little heads and removed her slightly damp coat before heading upstairs. Meanwhile, Jean went straight to his study after arriving home. Ian followed him and diligently adjusted the room's temperature, knowing that the changing weather always caused Jean discomfort due to his poor health. Even in the summertime, the weather didn't spare any mercy on Jean.

As he sat behind his office desk, he glanced at the documents without saying a word and continued to work on the tasks left unfinished during the day. The study was filled with the sound of rustling papers as the two of them flipped through the files, accompanied only by the faint patter of rain outside. After a while, Jean's gaze fixed on one particular document, and his brow furrowed. He called for Ian and tossed the file in front of him.

"The financial report from Huspela for the last quarter doesn't match up." Upon hearing this, Ian promptly took the document and carefully examined it, but he couldn't find anything wrong. However, he knew that when it came to auditing reports, Jean's accuracy was impeccable down to the last digit. He never made mistakes, and Ian had complete faith in him. If Jean said there was a problem, then there was. Furthermore, it occurred to Ian that Huspela fell under Clarence's responsibility.

Could it be... His expression turned serious as he asked, "Do you suspect... Mr. Clarence is secretly manipulating the accounts?" Jean's voice turned cold as he replied, "It's quite evident. Send it back for a redo! Also, investigate his activities abroad. Whatever tricks he's playing, dig them all up!" Ian immediately took the task seriously. Falsifying financial records usually indicated embezzlement or covering up internal financial discrepancies.
