Chapter 12 - THE AMOUNT
Ernest finally told the room how much money Louis and Carla had used.
In twenty-two months, they charged more than one hundred eighty-six thousand dollars.
Car lease payments.
Vacations.
Clothes.
Restaurants.
Business expenses.
Private transfers.
The birthday party itself cost more than nine thousand dollars.
Guests looked around at the confetti and decorations.
Louis shook his head.
“That’s impossible.”
Ernest removed a folded summary from his pocket.
“Page one is household spending. Page two is personal spending. Page three is money transferred to companies connected to Carla.”
Carla’s face went pale.
Louis looked at her.
May you like
“What companies?”
She said nothing.
