Smiles appeared on everyone’s faces.

Mr. Snyder Sr. smiled. “Why didn’t you tell me you were back home?”

Felicity grinned. “I decided at the last minute to invite two of my friends over for lunch!”

When Mr. Snyder Sr. heard her response, he groaned. “You invited your friends to have lunch at the

dining hall? What will they think of the Snyder family?”

Angelica sniffled, her heart racing a mile a minute.

The dishes they had at the dining hall were comparable to those served at a five-star hotel.

“Ru… Ruby… you’re back?”

Suddenly, an old woman whose hair had turned completely white reached a chapped hand out to touch

Nash’s cheek, her lips fluttering as she spoke in a wizened voice that trembled.

Felicity hurried forward to hold the old lady back. “Grandma, this is Nash, my friend!” “Ruby… don’t get

in the way of my Ruby…”

The old lady turned and clamped her teeth on Felicity’s shoulder.

Felicity gritted her teeth and silently endured the throbbing pain on her shoulder.

Felicity’s parents hurried forth and pulled the old lady away.

An embarrassed look appeared on Felicity’s face. “I’m sorry, Nash. My grandmother is not exactly

sane…”

Nash smiled a gentle smile. “It’s alright!”

Felicity then turned toward her grandfather and said, “Grandpa, I still have some things I need to take

care of, I’m going to leave now…”

She then left Snyder Estate alongside Nash and Angelica.

Felicity drove the two to the airport and immediately made phone calls to multiple inspectors so she

could launch an unannounced investigation into the Telfair Hotel.

Night had fallen by the time Felicity dragged her exhausted self back home.

When she entered the mansion, she saw Caleb hanging from the ceiling and receiving a beating from

their father.

Caleb was screaming and crying in pain.

“Felicity… save me…

“I’ll do so next time!”

Felicity smiled sweetly before asking, “Dad, where’s Grandpa?”

Mr. Snyder panted, “He’s’in his study!”

In the study on the second floor…

Mr. Snyder Sr. heaved a long sigh.

He walked to the vault and extended a chapped hand to swivel the combination lock.

The vault let out several creaks.

Then, its door slowly swung open.

At the very back of the vault was a secret compartment that contained a single yellowing photograph.

He brought the photograph over to the table, and said gently, “This is the only photo we have of Ruby. I

know you miss her greatly, and I do as well.”

The old woman’s hands trembled as she took the photograph.

It was a picture of a gorgeous-looking girl.

Her hair was pulled back into two braids that framed her face, and she wore a simple patchwork blouse

and a straw hat.

Though her outfit was plain, it did nothing to mar her graceful appearance.

The old lady gently stroked the girl’s face, tears welling in her eyes. “Ruby… Ruby… have you returned

to see your mother?”

Knock, knock, knock!

Mr. Snyder Sr. shuddered and immediately grabbed the picture back from his wife so he could return it

to the secret compartment. He then twisted the combination lock and watched the vault door slowly

return to its position.

Then, he stood and walked over to the window before saying, “Come in…”

Felicity rolled her sleeves up as she entered and said happily, “Grandpa, I’ve shut Hugh Sullivan’s hotel

down!”

Mr. Snyder Sr. sighed. “The Green Bamboo Association is scarily influential. You need to tread with

caution!”

Felicity said proudly, “I assumed this position because I wanted to disband the Green Bamboo

Association and restore peace to Sagen!”

Mr. Snyder Sr. smiled proudly. “That’s a wonderful idea you have, but the Green Bamboo Association

has a lot of power. It will be extremely difficult to rattle them!”

Felicity was not the least bit daunted. “If I can’t do it in one year, I’ll try to accomplish it in ten years. If I

still can’t do it in ten years, I’ll work on it for the next fifty years. Either way, the

Green Bamboo Association won’t be able to get rid of me…”

Wanting to stop her grandfather from worrying, Felicity hurriedly changed the subject. ” Grandpa…

Who is that Ruby that grandma was referring to?”
