She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 579

Yorick, who had been waiting there for who knows how long, stood up straight to face Lucian.

Even though the man standing before him still terrified him on a primal level, a man had to grow up. He firmly believed he was no longer inferior to Lucian.

Mustering all his courage, Yorick spoke up. "Lucian, I want you to leave Loyce. She won't be happy with you."

Lucian let out a sharp "Tsk" and muttered, "What is it with tonight? One after another."

Seeing Lucian's growing impatience, Yorick didn't back down. Instead, he straightened his spine, determined not to lose the battle of presence.

Taking a deep breath, he forced his voice to sound deep and commanding. "Lucian, I know you used to be a legend—an Admiral everyone looked up to. But that's in the past. Now you've lost your military standing, and your company is taking a massive hit because of it. Your future is uncertain. You can't give Loyce stability and peace."

He paused, then emphasized his next words with absolute self-assurance. "But I'm different. The Winslet family is the undisputed king of the shipbuilding industry, and I'm the sole heir. I can give her the best life, a future free of worry. I want you to think about her future and walk away."

Lucian listened quietly, his face entirely unreadable. Only when Yorick finished did he slowly raise his eyes.

"Are you done?" he asked, his tone as casual as if he were asking about the weather.

Yorick choked on his response, the rest of his prepared speech dying in his throat.

Lucian took a single step forward. He didn't invade Yorick's space, yet he radiated an invisible, crushing pressure. Being slightly taller, he looked down at Yorick with a piercing, analytical gaze.

"The Winslet family," he began slowly, enunciating every word. "You recently secured a massive cruise ship manufacturing contract in Southeast Asia, correct? Worth tens of billions."

Yorick froze, then a flicker of smug pride crossed his face. This proved his family's immense power and bright future.
