She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 405

Although Robert's words were technically directed at Loyce, saying them in such a public setting was the equivalent of broadcasting to the entire world that Lucian had zero connection to Cyrilla and would never offer her an ounce of protection again.

The bodyguards mercilessly dragged Mabel's group, along with Cyrilla and her mother, out of the venue like they were hauling away garbage.

This massive spectacle ended with Lucian's thunderous methods and Loyce's absolute control.

Loyce had already guessed that her brother and Lucian had teamed up on this. She nodded at Robert. "Tell him I said thank you."

Robert smiled knowingly. "I'll make sure he gets the message."

Internally, Robert was shaking his head. These two—one stubbornly sending a proxy to apologize, the other calmly accepting it. Now that the nuisance named Cyrilla was thoroughly dealt with, they had to make up soon, right?

With the farce concluded, the permanent blacklist issued by the Futura-Silicon commercial district fell like a steel curtain, rapidly spreading throughout the upper echelons of society.

Overnight, the businesses owned by Mabel and the others were completely deserted. Not only did they lose several massive contracts, but their core demographic of wealthy clients abandoned them entirely. The crushing financial devastation loomed like a dark storm cloud over the now-shattered families.

Marnie, still recovering at home, suffered a complete mental breakdown when her hysterical mother pointed a finger in her face and screamed at her for being an idiot. Marnie already felt guilty toward Loyce and had only lied on the police report because of Cyrilla's threats. Now, her attempt to secure her family's future had completely backfired. Everything Cyrilla had told her was a lie. Not only did they fail to secure a storefront to fulfill their dreams of striking it rich, but her family was now being dragged into absolute bankruptcy!

The night she learned the truth, Marnie lost her mind. She went on the school's online forum and fired off post after post, using the most vile, degrading language possible to expose every single one of Cyrilla's sick deeds.

The other classmates who had been dragged down in the ruin quickly joined the digital assault.

They had once been Cyrilla's most loyal followers, helping her bully Giselle Turner. Now, they morphed into her most vicious attackers, tearing Cyrilla's reputation to shreds. They even posted photos of a battered Cyrilla being thrown out of the Futura-Silicon venue, standing pathetically next to Saphira in her maid's uniform.

This was undeniably the most destructive "truth."
