She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 528

That evening, Sybil dressed carefully before heading to the Langley estate.

As one of the most prominent jewelry families, the Langleys' residence was naturally opulent. Though located in the suburbs of Metropia, the estate commanded the better half of an entire hillside.

Sybil used to socialize with Sylvie occasionally, but ever since her public scandal, the Langley heiress had kept her at a distance—until this fashion collaboration provided a turning point.

It wasn't just Élégance aiming for international recognition; the Langley Group desperately wanted to expand its jewelry market overseas.

However, since Nexus Design was fundamentally a fashion competition, the Langleys had no choice but to partner with an apparel brand to get their foot in the door.

Sybil gathered her skirt and stepped out of her car. She hadn't taken two steps before another vehicle pulled up right behind hers.

Turning around, she saw Thane Crown hopping out. A dopey, eager smile spread across his face as he waved. "Sybil!"

Sybil looked mildly surprised. "What are you doing here?"

Thane beamed. "Linden invited me over for dinner. You too?"

Sybil nodded, offering a polite smile. "What a coincidence."

As Thane walked up to her, she suddenly realized how much he had grown. "You've gotten a lot taller."

"Must be the water abroad," Thane said, walking beside her and casually chatting about his life overseas.

Sybil asked, "No girlfriend yet?"

"Of course not. My heart's already taken." Thane looked at her, his tone dropping into total sincerity. "I've liked her since we were kids. Liked her for years. No other woman even comes close."

Sybil's eyes flickered. She knew perfectly well he was talking about her, but in her eyes, his family background equated to being glorified restaurant cooks. They couldn't hold a candle to a legacy jewelry empire.
