Marion came back, and Randy pretended to whistle, acting like he hadn't said a word.
Debra turned to see Marion holding the ledger.
"Was someone badmouthing me?" he asked.
Randy shook his head. "No way. Everyone was praising you as a role model for modern men."
"Really?"
"Absolutely."
Erica smacked his arm. "Stop the joke and let's see the ledger."
Debra spread it and said, "Based on our calculations, the Houston family's foreign goods business made 300 thousand silver dollars annually but spent 600 thousand. My family's cosmetics business earned 100 thousand and spent 200 thousand. The Osborne family's agricultural ventures brought in 200 thousand but lost 400 thousand. As for the Potter family... Their annual income was 1.2 million, but the expenditure was zero."
Randy mused, "So, our families were bleeding money to subsidize the Potters?"
"Exactly." Debra nodded. "Those two elders claimed the 1.2 million funded their intelligence network. But that amount's way too high."
