Author: Cozy Season
"This way, please." Barton gestured.

Joe conceded, "Okay. I'll negotiate with Mrs. Nichols Sr."

...

In the Nichols Mansion, Melody received the call.

"What? Marion is coming too?" she spluttered.

Marion had always been at odds with them. Then he married Debra, making the Nichols family a laughingstock.

She'd never let him set foot in her house.

"Madam, please bear with it," Joe said.

If they didn't let Marion in, the talk with Debra was out of the question.

Melody took a deep breath. "Fine! Let him in."

A little humiliation was nothing if she could regain control of the Nichols Group.

Sophie came up to pour a cup of tea for her.

"Take it easy, Madam. Anyway, Mrs. Houston is better than an outsider."

"Theda took my shares and defied me. If only I had another grandson, things wouldn't have been like this."

Theda took her shares, and Debra dismissed Theda. It was a double blow.

Sophie sighed, "If she hadn't divorced Mr. Nichols back then..."

Melody snorted, "You think we s

    "What do you mean?" Debra said."I don't want those things anymore. They're all yours," Melody explained. "But you must return those shares.""Are you sure you understand the situation?" Debra asked. "My shares are worth far more than a hundred chests like yours. You're letting greed cloud your judgment.""I..." Melody faltered.She certainly knew the worth of the shares, but this was already her best offer."Those shares were given to you by Juan. Don't you care about his feelings?" Melody argued, glancing at Marion.He met her gaze, and she quickly looked away. "You didn't spend a single dime on the shares. My jewelry should be enough for your appetite.""You see, Juan willingly transferred the shares to me. I didn't force him," Debra reasoned. "It's a done deal. As for your treasures, I've kept them long enough. You're welcome to redeem them anytime.""I..." Melody's face darkened.With Juan absent, she didn't have enough money to reclaim those items. Worse still, the share

    Marion was not happy to hear that."Thanks for your offer," Debra said, holding Marion's hand. "I already have a husband, so why would I want to be part of your family? For your reputation, I remarried Juan. But make no mistake. That was the last time."Melody pointed at her, unable to form a response.Debra concluded, "I'll give you one day to consider my offer. Think it over. This may be your last chance."With that, she led Marion to leave.Melody shouted after her, "How are you going to explain this to Juan?"Debra stopped in her tracks. "I've always been fair to him, and I owe you nothing."Melody fainted out of anger.Joe rushed over. "Quick, call the doctor."The maids scrambled around the room, while Debra and Marion took their leave.Once, this manor seemed out of reach to Debra. She always wanted to earn Juan and his family's recognition. Now those things no longer bound her.She had gotten Marion by her side. Holding his hand, she said, "I never want to come back

    At the Potter Mansion, Randy and Erica hauled a large chest downstairs.Erica put her hands on her hips, panting. "Melody Nichols sure knows how to hoard stuff. What even is this? It's so heavy.""We've seen it," Randy replied. "It's all jewelry. Oh, and 50 kilograms of gold bars."Erica rolled her eyes. "50 kilos? Thought it'd be some crazy amount.""That's still worth 20 million dollars, you know," Randy said, opening the chest.They had checked out the contents with Debra before, though they hadn't gone through it carefully.Now they had to find anything similar to that sapphire ring. Digging through all this jewelry was going to be a massive job."The collection is no joke. Some of these pieces are decades old.""Maybe it's part of her dowry. Dowries are worth a fortune."Erica's eyes sparkled, but Debra shrugged. "Not sure, but it's worth at least 200 million.""What do you think of this necklace?" Erica said, draping a necklace around her neck. "Pretty nice, huh? Easily

    "It's gone," Marion replied.Debra thought for a moment. "So, you gave me this ring because your mother wore something similar.""It's a family heirloom," Marion explained, taking her hand. "My father gave it to my mother. Although I haven't found the original ring, I found the same gem. In my heart, you deserve the best."Debra wrapped her arms around his neck. "I know. I'm the most important person to you."The testing equipment was soon brought down.Erica eagerly said, "Let me do it. I'm a jewelry expert."She placed the jewelry on the testing machine, which quickly produced results. The purity, color, and content of the three gems were almost identical, indicating they were cut from the same stone."They are from the same stone," Randy exclaimed. "Can you believe that?"Debra and Erica leaned in to look, and indeed, all the data matched."This is crazy," Erica exclaimed. "How can something like this happen?"Andrew stepped out of the elevator, and Erica was surprised by

    Arriving at the Houston Mansion, Marion shoved open the door to the study.The noise startled Caleb, who glared at him. "What are you doing? You scared the hell out of me."Debra nudged Marion, while Erica dashed to Caleb's side with a big smile."It's been ages since I came to see you," she said enthusiastically."Don't even try. Every time you show up, there's trouble," he mumbled, glancing at them. "What's the deal?"Marion placed the three gemstones on the table."What's this? Trying to bribe me? Or do you want me to appraise them?" Caleb asked, not taking it seriously.Then he noticed Marion's solemn expression and adjusted his reading glasses to take a closer look.His expression changed. He picked up one of them and inspected it carefully."Where did you get them?" he asked."One was bought at an auction. One was from Melody Nichols. The third one was a wedding gift," Erica explained.Caleb frowned. "The Nichols family? Why would they have something like this?"Debra

    "I know my dad. If there was a family heirloom, he might have stacked it away," Randy said thoughtfully."Why?" Debra was puzzled.Randy shook his head. "Not everyone is like Marion's parents. They were true love to each other."Debra didn't get his meaning. Erica leaned in and whispered, "Randy's parents had an arranged marriage. They both had someone they liked.""I see," Debra murmured.It was just surprising that Randy turned out so carefree despite the situation in his family.Randy added, "I'll go home and ask my dad. If we find it, then we can confirm that the Nichols family took the gem from the Frazier family."Everyone nodded in agreement.Debra turned to Caleb. "Grandpa, you said these four rings are the symbols of the Four Great Families. What's the secret behind them? Is it the treasure of Seamar City?"Caleb sat down, recalling the past. "The treasure of Seamar City is just a legend. My father came here during the wars of the last century. The four families each

    Caleb asked, "What was recorded in those accounts? Do you remember?"Debra replied, "The accounts showed some strange discrepancies. The income and expenses for the Fraizer, Osborne, and Houston families didn't match up. There were big differences in food and goods records, with a combined loss of 1.2 million. Meanwhile, the Potter family gained the same amount that same year. Marion and I believed the three families were subsidizing the Potter family.""Subsidizing the Potter family," Caleb muttered in thought. "Let me think this over."Randy blurted, "What's there to think about? It's obvious. The Potter family's leader was obsessed with intelligence gathering and clueless about everything else. In the end, we had to cover for them."Erica smacked the back of his head. "Do you ever think before you speak? Look at Andrew now. Does he look like someone who doesn't know how to make money?""It doesn't mean his dad or ancestors were good at it," Randy retorted.While they were bick

    "Forget it," Marion chimed in. "I'll ask him when we get back."Among them, he knew Andrew best.Debra's phone suddenly rang, attracting everyone's attention.She held it up and said, "It's probably a scam call."Marion pressed the Answer button, and Drake's voice came through."Debra? Tell Marion to send someone to pick me up at Seamar City Airport."Randy almost slammed on the brakes. "Wasn't this supposed to be a scam call? Why is this guy here?""Randy?" Drake sneered over the phone. "Let this guy pick me up."He hung up, and Debra gaped at the screen. "Did he change his number?""No, you just never saved it," Marion replied....An hour later, at Seamar City Airport, Drake and Kale were still waiting."Boss, do you think Mrs. Houston is not coming?" Kale asked tentatively.Drake checked his watch. "Marion burned down my house. I haven't settled that score yet. Picking me up is the least he can do.""You're right, boss," Kale agreed.Soon, a black Cadillac pulled up

    Night settled in deep.Debra and the crew were still waiting for Michael's reply."Still nothing? They don't buy it, do they?" Erica paced, antsy."Give it time. They'll bite," Debra said, clutching her phone.She had promised Kale she would bring Drake back. No breaking that.A text finally pinged her phone. It was Michael.Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. Like Debra said, the Illuminati couldn't rule out her having the real stone.If theirs was fake, Michael and his crew couldn't afford the fallout."Marion, it's on you now," Debra said.The Houston family had military muscle on tap. The Potter family owned elite guards and intel. Erica and Randy were solid backups.But this meeting? Debra had to go herself."Does it have to be now? Maybe wait till you're healed?" Erica said.Debra shook her head. "Drake is at risk every day he's with them. I can't take that chance. Just like they can't risk us holding the stone.""She's right," Randy jumped in. "Drag this out, and who

    "What're you looking at?" Lara asked, stepping out and spotting Michael by the window."Debra says the stone Drake gave us is fake," he replied."What? No way." Drake shot up from his seat."Are you messing with us?" Lara's sharp gaze landed on him."No. Debra's talking nonsense," Drake insisted."We'll see," Michael said, unruffled.Debra was offering the stone on the condition of meeting with their leader. It fit her style."She thinks she can just waltz in and see our master?" Lara sneered."The stone's a big deal to him. I bet he'll agree," Michael replied, shutting his phone."Don't tell me you're sweet on Debra," she hissed. "You keep letting her off. Don't wanna kill her, huh?""Unlike you, I don't get off on killing," he countered. "If she's not in my way, why bother? You're out there slaughtering, just making enemies for the Illuminati. You're venting rather than serving.""You don't get it. I'm building fear for the Illuminati," she justified herself. "They need to

    Oscar set down the receiver and threw his hands up. "I'm not resisting. Don't spook my staff," he said.Chace tried to step in, but Oscar's look stopped him.This incident was major. Almost half of Flesta's people had fallen victim.Everyone at the company, Chace included, got hauled in for questioning. As the head, Oscar was the main target.The line went dead, and Debra's heart sank."Those bastards," Randy cursed, "hitting us on both sides. No wonder the Illuminati has been quiet. They have been gunning for our partners.""They're smart," Debra said. "Can't take us head-on, so they go after our allies. They want everyone to see partnering with us as a dead end. If we let this slide, we're doomed eventually.""What should we do?" Erica stomped, fuming. "We just sit here and watch them pick off our friends one by one?""They're showing us what happens if we cross them. They want us to bow. The only way out is to flip the script and strike first.""Strike first? What does th

    Seeing Debra's worried look, Marion said, "You should just focus on healing and leave the rest to us. We might not match the Illuminati, but they won't mess with us randomly here in Seamar City."The Four Great Families had ruled Seamar City for a century. Although the former heads had faded, the new generation was sharper and stronger. They could hold off the Illuminati's push.Debra's phone rang. It was Oscar calling."You free? I've got something to tell you," he said.Debra put it on the speaker. No one could guess the aim of his call.In Flesta, the Odom family's business was booming again. He should have been busy with work."What's up?" she asked."There's big trouble in Flesta," he replied. "We didn't want to bug you, but it's spiraling out of control. We're out of moves.""What happened?" She had a bad feeling.Oscar paused. "A new drug has popped up in Flesta. Tons of our staff got hooked, just like regular folks. The police are on it now. We checked our products and

    Debra stared at the pendant.What had happened yesterday came flooding back.Kale was gone, and the fact hit her hard."It's my fault," she said in agony. "If he hadn't gone with me, he would have been alive.""Everyone makes their calls," Marion soothed her. "If there's blame, it's on the Illuminati. I was terrified, almost losing you.""I felt like you were nearby, so I wasn't afraid," she said, leaning into him. "They'll pay for hurting Drake and killing Kale. I'll make sure of it.""No matter what happens, we're in this together," he said.Exhaustion took over. She closed her eyes and drifted off.When she woke up, it was already noon the next day. Her injury kept her from moving much.Everyone gathered outside her bedroom. William came in to check on her."You're fine. Just change the dressings on time," he said, packing up his kit. "You guys can come in now."Debra adjusted her clothes and leaned against the headboard. "Sorry to trouble you.""We're in this together,"

    William left quickly.Marion got up to lock the door and returned to the bedside.Sitting back into the chair, he switched on a dim lamp, making sure Debra would see him first thing if she woke up."Brother..." Debra mumbled.Marion leaned in. "I'm here."Her murmurs stopped, but her hands shot up, grasping at the air. "It's so dark. Save me."He grabbed her flailing hands right away. "Don't be scared. I'm right here."But she didn't calm down. She clutched his hand, her nails scratching at his skin. "Brother, save me," she murmured, feeling like she was trapped in a pitch-black hold.Cold seawater seemed to swallow her whole. The biting chill seeped into every crack of her body. The stench of the ocean made her gag.The water was up to her chin. She stood on tiptoes, desperate for a breath in that tiny space."Save me." Her eyes flew open.Familiar surroundings came into view. Her pupils darted until they landed on Marion. Her racing heart finally slowed."Marion?" Her v

    Not long after, Marion came out with Debra.William nudged Erica and Randy. "Told you it would be soon.""How's she out here fresh after surgery?" Erica gawked.Debra was supposed to recover in the hospital, but seeing her unconscious form on the stretcher, Erica figured he had his reasons."Let's go back," Jordan chimed in. "The Potter Mansion's got a top-notch medical team. If we need gear, I'll grab it.""Yeah, hospitals suck anyway," Randy said. "Let's head back. It's freezing out here."They'd planned to grab food and head in, but Erica had made them wait so Marion could have more time with Debra. Now they were all sniffling."I'm... Achoo." William sneezed again, then bolted for the car. "I'm out of there. It's freaking cold."He had treated so many patients, but this was the first time he had fallen ill.Debra, still out cold, was loaded into the back. Marion stayed close, tending to her.By the time they reached the Potter Mansion, it was the middle of the night.Wil

    William rubbed his eyes in disbelief.They had taken the emergency lane to the hospital, but Marion and the others arrived right behind their heels after going through a battle."We floored it. That's not the point," Erica replied.Marion and Jordan were already striding into the hospital.Randy grabbed Erica's arm. "Come on. Let's go.""Huh? William is still here." She was puzzled.Inside, the operating room's red light glowed.Marion arrived first. The hospital director greeted him, saying, "Mrs. Houston is in surgery now. Our top doctors have assessed her. The wound's been handled perfectly, and she is out of danger."Marion's face softened a bit. Erica heaved a sigh of relief. "Thank God. She's fine now."They'd been terrified seeing Debra collapse in a pool of blood."You're wiped out. Why don't you rest a bit?" Erica said, turning to Marion."I'll wait here," he replied, his eyes glued to the red light.Until it turned green, he couldn't rest his mind at ease."Well

    Michael raised an eyebrow. "My plan never included you. Does our master know you snuck here from Orkgate? And you've got the nerve to question me?"Lara glared at him, her body aching from the burns. Her face twisted with anger."Take Miss Sharp back for treatment. It will take two hours to get back, so she'll have to tough it out," Michael ordered, unfazed.Before leaving with his crew, he lamented sanctimoniously, "Such a shame, ruining a pretty face like that."Lara clenched her fists, incandescent with rage....In the ambulance, Debra coughed up another mouthful of blood. It splattered right onto William's white coat."Aw." William almost griped about the mess, holding back only at the sight of her bad condition.He had to save her, no matter what. It was a promise he'd made to Andrew.He didn't even want to think about what would happen to him if Debra didn't make it today."Maybe another shot of painkiller? We've gotta get that bullet out fast," a medic suggested."Yo
