Andrew’s face was ashen. “It’s pointless even if you knew. It wouldn’t change anything. It’s better to live your life in peace.”

Debra’s eyes flashed with determination. “I’m the heiress to the Frazier family. I have the right to know everything.”

Andrew sighed, leaning against the table to keep his balance. “I can tell you about the Four Major Families, but I don’t know who killed your parents. I’ve investigated for years, and I still don’t know who was behind the deaths of Mr. and Mrs. Houston.”

Debra searched Andrew’s eyes and found no trace of deceit. She took a deep breath before asking, “Do you know everything about the Four Major Families?”

Andrew nodded. “I know the general outline of the past grudges and disputes. The Houston family had military power and absolute authority. The Potter family had the most powerful intelligence network. Under the leadership of your great–grandfather, the Frazier family was renowned for its strategic prowess. The Osborne family, originally the Houston family’s deputy, had substantial wealth and close relationships with the other families, securing their place among the Four Major Families.”

Debra listened intently, her mind flashing back to the stories Ralph used to tell. Their past glory was legendary, and their patriarch’s strategic skills laid out a solid foundation for later generations.

“The Houston, Potter, Frazier, and Osborne families formed a formidable alliance, quickly dominating Seamar City,” Andrew continued. “Rumors circulated that their rapid rise was due to an ancient treasure, a wealth that could rival nations. With such backing, their dominance was inevitable.”

Debra’s eyebrows shot up. “An ancient treasure? That’s impossible.”

She caught herself under Andrew’s stern gaze. “Please, continue. I won’t interrupt.”

Andrew’s eyes held a faraway look, as if peering into the past. “Although rumors are often unreliable, they can hold a grain of truth. Seamar City has secrets that have endured to this day, secrets that many covet. The Bernard family and the Odom family are testament to that.”

Debra’s mind raced, pieces of the puzzle clicking into place. Edgar’s decade–long pursuit of the Blair family and his relentless quest to gain a foothold in Seamar City both pointed to one thing.

“Edgar is after the so–called treasure,” Debra mused, “but why did he seek out the Blair family? Were they one of the major families back then?”

Andrew scoffed, “They are not worthy.”

It made sense. If the Blair family had been a major family, they wouldn’t act like mice seeing a cat in front of Juan.

Andrew continued, “The Blair family has indeed been around for a century and is from the same period as the Four Major Families. They managed to survive and build their business, so their ancestors were quite impressive. However, they were not part of the Four Major Families. They were merely loyal subordinates of the Osborne family who struck out on their own.”
