"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 hand 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 chere during the

years and never seen any sign of this treasure."
He paused before continuing, "I always thought this treasure was just a myth. Otherwise, my father would have
told me. There's no reason he would keep it a secret and not pass it down."
The others saw his point. This treasure, if it existed, must be of great value.

his family in Booton for it.
They had to be after something.
Caleb continued, "If this treasure was something good, my father would have mentioned it."
It made sense. Everyone wanted descendants to be wealthy and safe. If this treasure was real and beneficial,
someone in the four families would know about it.
Debra fell silent, her mind racing.

"Ledgers?" Caleb asked. "What kind of ledgers?"
"Just sold ones," Debra replied. "They listed prices for goods and grains, but the prices were way off."
