Goodbye Mr Ex I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1321

"Not that line. The one before," Debra pressed.

Randy thought for a moment. "Wrong direction of investigation?"

"The one before that."

"These are account books, not a treasure map?"

"Yes, that's the one."

"What about it?"

Debra crossed her arms. "I always thought it was weird. If these ledgers were so dangerous, why weren't they burned? Why hide them in ancestral halls? The Osborne and Houston families probably have their versions too. Maybe combined, they are a treasure map."

"I've heard of treasure maps hidden in poems or paintings," Erica said, "but account books? That's a first."

"That's a wild guess," Randy echoed. "What kind of treasure would be hidden in ledgers?"

Debra shook her head. "Randy, can you sneak into your ancestral hall and get something?"

Randy froze as all eyes landed on him. He swallowed hard and shook his head. "I've hated going to the ancestral hall since I was a kid. Every time I go, I either piss off my ancestors or get beaten by my dad. Do you want me to steal from it? I'd need a miracle."

Debra blinked. "How do we distract them?"

"Newlyweds paying respects to the elders," Erica replied. "Randy's mom is sweet, but his dad is traditional and stern. Keep him busy, and we're golden."

"Got it," Debra agreed.

Marion gathered the ledgers. "We move tonight."

"What about me?" Garland popped in front of the group. "Don't I get a mission?"
