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. | 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 |
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’t know who killed your parents. I've investigated for years, and | 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. | 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

“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 speriod 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.”
