She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 586

Time blurred into nothingness.

Eventually, Lucian pulled her up into his arms, settling her against him on the sofa. Her hair was damp with sweat.

He reached over to grab some tissues.

Loyce was too exhausted to move.

Lucian pressed a tender kiss to her flushed ear, his voice still deliciously raspy. "You did amazing."

"Mhm," she murmured lazily. "So, how exactly did you get drugged?"

It didn't take a genius for Lucian to piece it together. He rested his cheek against hers, affectionately nuzzling her skin as he spoke in a relaxed drawl, "Channing teamed up with Jasmine Hampton. If I didn't have ironclad self-control, I'd be in her bed right now."

"What exactly is your newly discovered brother trying to achieve?" she asked.

"He wants to steal everything I've built."

"There's more to it than that," Loyce pointed out. "Luna's background is too murky. She operates like a foreign operative."

"Ha," Lucian chuckled. "Spot on. But she recently updated her cover story—she's supposedly the daughter of a wealthy farm owner in Gaulia. I don't buy it for a second."

"Hmm..."

After a while, Lucian pressed the service button, ordering a maid to bring a fresh dress for a female guest.

While Lucian's shirt was merely wrinkled, Loyce's dress was a lost cause. She slipped into the bathroom for a quick shower and changed into the new outfit.

Noticing her thoughtful expression, Lucian wrapped his arms around her.

"We don't need to stay here," Loyce said, stopping his hand as it wandered lower. "I think we should go check on Jasmine."

Lucian raised a brow.

"She ended up sleeping with Thane Crown," Loyce explained with a shake of her head.
