She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 408

A few security guards trailing behind him hadn't been able to stop him.

Lillian frowned, protectively covering her pregnant belly. "What is the meaning of this?"

"It's me, Lillian. I heard the board unanimously voted to replace me," Holt said, pulling off his hat and mask. Coming off a recent surgery, his voice sounded even rougher and more gravelly than before.

Lillian's frown deepened. "Yes. No one wanted this accident to happen, but your entire career relies on your vocals. Look at how destroyed your throat is—do you really think you can still sing? Be realistic. There are plenty of people in the entertainment industry ready to take your place."

"Someone sabotaged me!" Holt argued hoarsely. "My voice will recover. Can't you just buy me a little more time?"

Lillian glanced at a file resting on the edge of her desk. It was a subtle movement, but Holt caught it instantly. He lunged toward the desk, his eyes locked onto the document. "Did Bianca bring in new artists?!"

Holt's explosive reaction terrified the security guards, who immediately broke into a cold sweat and rushed forward to restrain him.

Lillian was highly unsettled by Holt's volatile emotions. "Let me tell you something! Turnover is completely normal in the entertainment industry! Even if you refuse to accept it, you just have to admit you had bad luck! Unless someone can literally perform a miracle and turn back time!"

Just as the guards were dragging Holt toward the door, Loyce, guided by the company's receptionist, arrived at the office. She walked right into the middle of the chaotic scene.

Seeing Loyce, Lillian instantly stood up, pasting on a warm smile. Mimicking her husband's respectful tone, she greeted her politely. "Ms. Lonsdale."

"Holt?" Loyce recognized him immediately, then turned to Lillian. "Good timing. I can do your follow-up check right here."

Lillian looked back and forth between Holt and Loyce, momentarily stunned, before gesturing for the guards to release him. "You two know each other?"

Loyce pointed at Holt's throat. "I was the surgeon who operated on his vocal cords. He works for you?"
