She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 593

Those wealthy families who had bought into Yorick's hype, assuming Lucian was doomed and hastily cutting ties with the Shapiro Group, were practically drowning in regret.

"We had a deal! How can you just change your mind out of nowhere?! And where did this 'management party' come from?! What kind of bribe did Lucian offer you?!" Yorick, no longer able to maintain his polite facade, completely lost control and demanded answers.

The female representative from Stellar Trust simply asked calmly, "Mr. Winslet, verbal agreements are not final decisions. As for what 'bribes' Mr. Shapiro gave us..."

She laughed. "What could we possibly need? Do you have any concept of Stellar Trust's global assets? I'm honestly starting to doubt your professionalism. It seems Mr. Shapiro made the right choice."

Her words dripped with sarcasm.

It wasn't that Yorick didn't understand Stellar Trust's magnitude. It wasn't just about money; they had a hand in almost every profitable industry on the planet. Stellar Trust managed assets for practically everyone on the global billionaires list!

The network backing Stellar Trust was unparalleled!

Their unimaginable wealth was their least impressive trait.

Yorick just didn't want to believe it. He couldn't accept that everything he had meticulously plotted and felt so certain about had ultimately served to pave the way for someone else.

And that "someone else" was the very man he had desperately tried to crush under his heel!

A crushing sense of absurdity and defeat made his vision go dark.

Lucian didn't spare him another glance. He turned to the female representative, his tone mild. "My assistant will follow up on the specific details later."

"Understood, Mr. Shapiro," she replied respectfully. She and her team promptly turned and left without any hesitation.

The banquet hall was left in a dead silence once more, with countless pairs of eyes fixed on Lucian, mixing fear with desperate sycophancy.

Lucian's gaze swept lightly over the crowd. There was no mockery, no smugness—just a towering indifference.

His eyes finally landed on Loyce, and the icy detachment instantly melted into warmth.

"It looks like there's nothing left worth staying for," he said, holding out his hand to her, his voice gentle. "I heard there's a meteor shower tonight. Care to watch it?"

Loyce looked at him, an understanding smile in her eyes, and placed her hand in his. "I'd love to."
