She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 505

[88 Grams of Gold Just for Showing Up! The Lonsdale Family Declares Loyce Their Crown Jewel!]

[Rumors Crushed! Loyce's Homecoming Banquet Breaks Records as Lonsdales Flex Ultimate Daughter-Spoiling Power!]

Headlines like these dominated every major media outlet and trending page. The internet was in an absolute uproar of shock and envy.

"My god! That's not an invitation, that's an annual bonus!"

"Over a thousand of them?! The Lonsdales literally dropped ten million dollars just to hand out invitations? Poverty truly limits my imagination."

"Who was the idiot spreading rumors that she wasn't loved? Look at this! They're protecting her like she's the Holy Grail!"

"Does the heiress need someone to carry her bags? I have a college degree!"

Having accepted such absurdly generous gifts, the media naturally went above and beyond to flatter the family. They published exhaustive details about the manor's renovations, from the exotic flowers flown in on private jets to the Michelin-star catering teams. Every minor detail was romanticized to highlight the family's extreme wealth and dedication.

The core message of every article was identical: Loyce's position in the Lonsdale family was untouchable.

This overwhelming wave of positive press acted as an impenetrable shield around Loyce. She was no longer viewed as a stray orphan desperately trying to fit in, but a cherished princess fiercely guarded by her billionaire family. This public perception drastically elevated her safety. Anyone lurking in the shadows who wanted to cross her would now have to weigh their actions against public outrage and the full, terrifying wrath of the Lonsdale empire.

When Sybil saw the news trending on her phone, her perfectly contoured face twisted into an ugly sneer. She slammed the phone down on the table.

Why was Loyce so unkillable?! She was supposed to have died in Yavon County! Why was she back?!

Panic setting in, Sybil grabbed her phone to call Wade Windsor. The moment the line connected, Alicia marched into the room, her face dark with fury.

Sybil scrambled to hang up. "Mom..."

*Slap!*

The sharp crack echoed through the room. The force of the blow sent Sybil sprawling to the floor. She clutched her stinging cheek, staring up in disbelief. "Mom!"
