Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right by Czy Season

Chapter 519

Debra and Marion circled the ancestral hall, but there was nothing of value to be found. The hall was as bare as a picked bone. Marion replaced the tablets he'd been inspecting, his voice echoing in the empty room.

"Let's not waste our energy here anymore. If there was something valuable here, Ralph would've snatched it up long ago."

They had almost turned the place upside down but found nothing.

Debra's shoulders slumped. "Could it be that the so-called family secret is just a lie?"

If there was truly a treasure in Seamar City, surely someone would have found it by now.

"The treasure isn't fake. It's just well hidden by our ancestors," Marion said, looking at the tablets. "Let's head back for today. We have the key, so we can come back anytime." Debra bit her lip. "I'm just feeling uneasy."

Marion pulled her close, his voice soothing. "Don't worry. I'm here, and I won't let anyone harm you."

Debra leaned into his embrace, her eyes falling on the red columns behind him. A spark of an idea ignited in her mind. "Do you think there might be something under the column?" Marion released her, his eyes following her gaze to the column.
