She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 807

"Has it ever occurred to you that I let you kidnap me on purpose?" Loyce leaned back against the steel pillar. The smile on her lips sent a wave of pure terror crashing through Channing.

He was far less stable than Luna because, from the very beginning, he had been operating on fear.

The knife nicked Loyce's neck. It wasn't a deep cut, but enough for a bead of blood to well up.

"What the hell are you talking about? There is no way you could have predicted this!" Luna sneered. She was convinced this was just a desperate bluff from someone about to die. "Only my people knew about this operation. The intel couldn't have leaked."

Loyce patiently stalled. She calculated she only needed three minutes at most.

"The borders are heavily fortified, aren't they?" she asked smoothly. "Did you really think your men slipped in undetected?"

Channing’s eyes widened in horror. "Lucian let them in on purpose? He wants to kill me?!"

His first thought was that Lucian intended to expose their treason. But Loyce looked at him with sheer contempt.

"You think you matter to us?"

Luna shoved Channing aside. "Stop listening to her garbage!" she snarled. "You're just stalling, waiting for a rescue team, aren't you? Let me tell you something, Loyce. I don't scare easily!"

She swung the spiked club, aiming straight for Loyce’s face. "I'm going to smash your face into a pulp! Then I'll send the video to Lucian! Hahaha!"

"Why do you think you ran into X's operatives at that Japanese restaurant?" Loyce didn't blink as the terrifying club swung toward her, only to be grabbed mid-air by Channing.

Luna thrashed wildly. "What are you doing?! Let go of me!"

She had completely lost her mind, but Channing still had a functioning brain. He stared intensely at Loyce. "How did you know we ran into X’s people? Are they working with this country? Did Lucian tell you?"

Loyce replied, "Because I orchestrated it."

Channing was stunned. "What do you mean?"

Loyce turned her gaze to Luna, who was now pinned behind him. "If I didn't apply the pressure, if Ares Global didn't think they were about to lose their precious little princess, why would they send a team?"

Luna finally began to cool down. Since this involved her family, she gritted her teeth and demanded, "What is your relationship with X?"

Loyce offered a faint smile. "I am X."

The words hit them like a physical blow. They both froze.
