Then she saw Samson shake his head firmly. 

“Everything follows its own course. I don’t want to interfere too much,” he said. 

Sandy hit a wall. 

If it hadn’t been for that symbolic compass, why would she have put up with all this humiliation?

“Oh, right, you must have things to talk about. Samson, you said earlier you’d show me your symbolic compass. Can I take a look at it now?” she added quickly. 

“I never said I’d show it to you.” 

Samson tucked the compass away again. 

The room fell silent. Did he seriously not need his head checked? 

Hiding something right in front of an enemy? 

Was he out of his mind? 

Sandy didn’t get what she wanted, but she didn’t force the issue. 

She made an excuse and walked to a quieter corner. 

“Mom.” 

She called Ruby. 

She had been staying at the hospital for days without going home. 

That was admittedly not very considerate. 

But this wasn’t the time to dwell on that. 

“Mom, do you remember when I was little, and someone who analyzed fortunes came to our house?” 

Ruby’s tone immediately turned sharp. 

“He was just a con artist. Don’t go around believing in that kind of thing. You’ll get scammed.” 

“That’s not what I meant. I’m saying the symbolic compass I saw on that man back then, I just

saw the same one again,” Sandy said. 

On the other end of the line, Ruby’s voice tightened. 

“Are you sure?”

“Of course. Mom, you remember. I really liked that man back then. I spent a lot of time around him. There’s no way I’d remember it wrong,” Sandy said firmly. 

Sandy actually understood Ruby to some extent 

Ruby came from no powerful background. 

After marrying Oscar, she had been constantly held down by Irene. Then there were Matt’s family and Josh’s family stirring up trouble nonstop. 

She had endured a lot in silence. 

On top of that, Oscar was often away on business. 

It was only natural that Ruby had a few close male friends. 

So whether it was Andy or the man from the auction house, even if Sandy had guessed certain things, she never pointed them out. 

The same went for the man who practiced fortune analyzing. 

The bracelet Ruby wore on her wrist had been a gift from that man. 

Because of that, Sandy believed Ruby had treated him differently. 

At the same time, she admired her mother. 

Those men had all been willing to marry Ruby. If Ruby had wanted to, she could’ve easily lived the life of a wealthy socialite. 

But Ruby had still stayed true to herself and continued living with Oscar. 

That level of endurance alone already put her above most people. 

While Sandy’s thoughts were drifting, Ruby’s voice came through again. 

“Those fortune analysis things are all vague nonsense. They’re either used to scam people or to give a bit of psychological comfort. It’s basically the same as seeing a therapist. Don’t worry about it. Come home early. We’ll have dinner together tonight,” Ruby said. 

Sandy nodded, though her curiosity about Samson lingered.

Fortunately, Andy was at the same hospital. If she wanted to ask about Samson’s condition, she could just call him. 

Andy treated her like his own daughter, always patient and indulgent with her. 

“Alright, Mom, but are you really planning to divorce Dad? Tonight isn’t a farewell dinner, is it?” Sandy said, then added. 

Ruby’s tone turned noticeably colder. 

“He wants a divorce for one reason only. He wants to cut ties with me so Eric can inherit everything. That’s not happening.” 

Oscar appeared to be detached from everything now, calm and almost ascetic. 

Even when the betting agreement had put enormous pressure on Alice, Oscar never stepped in. 

Within Nolan Group, it was already an unspoken understanding that he was the power behind the throne. 

But everyone in the Nolans knew that back in Oscar’s era, Nolan Group had only been a front for him. 

His real business was overseas. 

What exactly he did abroad was something no one knew except Oscar himself. 

The only thing the Nolans could be certain of was that Oscar’s overseas operations were 

massive. 

Otherwise, Nolan Group would’ve collapsed long ago during all those turbulent years. 

If there was anyone in the family who truly understood Oscar’s business, it was Eric. 

Back then, Eric had been just a young kid, yet he managed to establish himself at Nolan Group and keep a steady flow of capital coming in. 

Without support from Oscar’s overseas companies, no one would’ve believed it. 

Sandy had always been against the divorce for that reason. 

As long as the family remained intact, both she and Michael would have secure futures. 

But from the way Ruby spoke now, it sounded like she had a way to take something substantial from Oscar.

If that was the case… 

Sandy felt her mother might be more reliable than her father. 

She took a deep breath. “Alright. I’ll come home tonight.”

Just before hanging up, she added, “By the way, Mom, the renovation for the Global Theme Hotel is about to go public, right?” 

The earn–out agreement lasted only one month, and it was almost over. 

Which meant the renovation of the Global Theme Hotel was nearly complete.
