Chapter 68\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve\u2019s phone vibrated with a new email from Kay.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She put on Bluetooth earphones and opened the email.\u00a0<\/p>\n
1\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
A recording of his voice began to play. \u201cZero, the man you asked me to investigate, Greg Sanders, has a far more complicated background than you thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOn the surface, he\u2019s the second son of a famous landscape painter, Bennett Sanders. He\u2019s known as a virtuous man. But his mother comes from a family called the Weaver family.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Weaver family practiced traditional medicine in Northridge, but they were unremarkable. They went missing more than ten years ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI investigated further and found that the Weaver family was a branch of the Yates family 50 years ago. However, they were kicked out after some irreconcilable differences and became an independent family after that.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMost importantly, Greg used to work for a top pharmaceutical company in Sieraland under a pseudonym. He was a consultant for them and the Yates family was one of their investors.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
As she had expected, Greg wasn\u2019t an outsider in this matter at all. From the beginning until now, he had always been\u00a0<\/p>\n
involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Everything that Greg said was a carefully designed trap. He wanted her to stop\u2013not to protect her, but rather to prevent her from investigating things further. He was afraid that she would discover their ulterior motives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kay\u2019s voice continued to play in her earphones. \u201cApart from that, I\u2019ve compared the emerald bracelet with the seal from the Yates family. It\u2019s not just a simple token.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s known as the Seeker\u2019s Twinstone. According to the tales, it\u2019s the only key to the Yates family\u2019s treasure trove. Apparently, the treasure trove holds a medicine that puts both modern and traditional medicine to shame. It can make numerous people go insane.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Yates family has been after the bracelet for almost 100 years. They have a mausoleum at Southgate that an old man named Heron Yates oversees. He\u2019s the eldest in the family. The address is at the end of this email.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve slammed on the brakes, making the tires screech.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A treasure trove? A secret medicine?\u00a0<\/p>\n
So that was what they were after!\u00a0<\/p>\n
The emerald bracelet wasn\u2019t just a token Zoe had taken with her\u2013it was a precious item that could cause bloodshed in the\u00a0<\/p>\n
world.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve drew in a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Then, she typed a new location into the GPS, changing her\u00a0<\/p>\n
destination to the Yates family\u2019s mausoleum in Southgate.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The streets of Southgate were paved with stone that had been smoothed from years of use. There was none of the hustle and bustle of the city center there, and time seemed to slow down.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve parked her car on the street and walked into a dark alleyway.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was a peculiar, heavy scent of medicinal herbs in the air. At the end of the alley was a plain house with a door painted black. A worn\u2013down plaque with the words \u201cthe Yates Mausoleum\u201d hung on the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
This was the Yates family\u2019s mausoleum that Kay had mentioned.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2\/2\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve stood at the entrance, feeling a complex mix of emotions. This was her mother\u2019s family and her flesh and blood. However, she felt absolutely alienated from it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She raised her hand to knock on the door. The hollow sound of her knocks reverberated through the alley.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a while, someone coughed and shouted hoarsely, \u201cWho\u2019s there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
A squeak sounded as the door opened a sliver, and a wrinkled face poked out of the gap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old man warily sized Genevieve up before asking, \u201cWho are you looking for?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Genevieve replied calmly, \u201cI\u2019m here for Mr. Heron Yates.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The old man frowned. \u201cI\u2019m Heron Yates. You don\u2019t look like you\u2019re here to see a doctor. What do you want?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without hesitating, Genevieve took out the fixed emerald bracelet. Placing it on her palm, she presented it to Heron.\u00a0<\/p>\n
