She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 636

"Think about your family, Jennifer," Corinne said softly, every word a lethal strike. "Your father is running for office. If the press finds out his daughter was part of an illegal poaching ring..."

Jennifer's thumb hovered over the screen. Finally, her arm dropped to her side in defeat.

Two men stepped forward and picked up Ayla's fragile body. Fresh blood dripped onto the priceless handmade rug...

Ten minutes earlier, while running with Sagan, Loyce had spotted an approaching reserve patrol vehicle. Formulating a plan, she turned to Sagan. "The security at that villa is going to be incredibly tight. I can slip in first and save her. Do you trust me?"

Sagan's eyes were filled with desperate pleading. "If you can do it... please, help me."

Loyce gave him a few quick instructions before vanishing into the brush along the vehicle's path.

As the SUV rolled down the dirt road, Sagan suddenly threw himself out of the tall grass, waving his arms and screaming, "Where is my daughter?! Give her back to me!"

He slammed his hands against the windshield. Terrified, the driver slammed on the brakes.

They rushed through the gates. As the car parked, Loyce silently dropped from the chassis and melted into the shadows like a ghost.

The staff members burst into the living room. "Our vehicle was attacked! The girl's father broke into the reserve, he— Oh my God!"

The words died in their throats as they saw the blood-soaked child being carried across the room.

"She's been shot! We need to get her to a hospital! We can take her!" The employees rushed forward to take the girl.
