"I''ve made some discoveries."


    Suddenly, Colby spoke up from beside them.


    Sophie asked, "What did you find on the ground floor?"


    "Rare and unique gems."


    Colby said, "The Tredgold family has arge treasure cab on the ground floor."


    Speaking of the Tredgold family''s treasure cab, Sophie remembered seeing it the first time they visited the Tredgold family.


    But they hadn''t seen it very clearly at the time.


    "All the gems inside are rare in this world, priceless and impossible to find in the market. Also, I discovered a secret passage on the ground floor, likely leading underground."


    Harold asked, "Did you go down there?"


    "Uh-huh."


    "What''s inside?"


    "A corridor of gems."


    Colby roughly described what he saw. The Tredgold family''s underground corridor had ss disy cases on both sides filled with glowing stones. The corridor was deep, and at the end, there seemed to be a door. With limited time, Colby hadn''t made it to the very end, but he had a good idea that the Tredgold family had a secret chamber.


    Harold asked, "Could Jenna be behind that door?"


    "I''m not sure."


    Colby wasn''t too certain what was behind that door.


    But it could just be a treasure vault.


    It wasn''t unlike Wesley to be so keen on collecting stones that he''d have an underground vault specially made.


    Sophie suggested, "Should we wait for Adler to wake up and then have him check the Tredgold family''s ce?"


    After all, they were outsiders, and searching the house was something Adler should do personally. "Let''s head back first," Harold said as he drove.


    Sophie noticed Colby seemed a bit.

    "A few, but I can''t quite put my finger on it."


    "Is it because of that door?"


    "Yeah."


    Colby said, "Like you mentioned, if Jenna

    But knowing Jenna as he did, a door wouldn''t be enough to keep her in.


    Unless, Jenna herself didn''t want to leave.


    Meanwhile, inside the Tredgold family''s residence.


    The door in the secret passage was slowly pushed open.


    Inside was a luxurious room, fully furnished and filled with an array of dazzling jewelry.


    Jenna looked warily at the person entering the room. When she saw it was May, Jenna finally rxed.


    "Ms. Jenna, I''m sorry for the inconvenience."


    May''s demeanor changed from the

    With a hint of guilt, May said, "I had no choice, I''m afraid you''ll have to stay here a few more days."


    "Ms. May, it''s no trouble at all. I know you''re looking out for me."


    Jenna helped May sit on the couch, hesitating before asking, "Is Zack okay?"


    "He knows you''ve gone missing and was in a car ident, but don''t worry, his injuries aren''t serious." "Aunt May, when can I return?"


    Jenna said worriedly, "I''m afraid Zack might do something foolish for my sake."


    "Trust me, staying here is the safest option for you."
