She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 218

"No, it's for Elise," the guard clarified. "She prepared this invitation specifically for you."

If it was from Elise, she couldn't refuse. Loyce nodded and took the invitation.

Lucian had overheard the entire exchange.

Cyrilla, curious, asked him, "Who are the Winslets?"

"Shipbuilders," Lucian said dismissively. "Not worth mentioning."

Yet, the moment he got home and parked the car, he went straight to the front gate and asked the guard if an invitation from the Winslet family had arrived for him.

The guard shook his head, looking confused. "No, sir. No invitations from the Winslets today."

Cyrilla noticed Lucian's mood instantly darkened, the light in his deep eyes dimming.

Later, when Lucian went into his study, Cyrilla tiptoed to the door to eavesdrop. She heard him calling his friends, specifically asking if they had received an invitation from the Winslets.

After a round of calls, Lucian discovered that the Winslets had invited numerous prominent families but had pointedly excluded him. He immediately understood what Elise was planning for her grandson. In the end, Lucian asked a friend to give him their invitation, telling him he'd owe him a favor.

Cyrilla was shocked. He had just claimed the Winslets were insignificant, yet now he was practically begging for an invitation to their party. Why?

An image of Loyce flashed through her mind. Could it be because of her again? What kind of spell did this Loyce have over him?

Cyrilla crept back to her room, opened her laptop, and started frantically searching for information about Loyce.
