She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 267

“Hurry! Send the medical files, now! This is a once-in-a-lifetime shot!”

One minute later, Loyce’s inbox exploded. Her DMs flooded so fast the unread count rocketed to 999+.

Of course, she didn’t actually take patients based on her mood. Using her hacker skills, Loyce quietly pulled the cases she considered “worth her time,” sifted through them, and finally locked onto one name: Laurence.

The file said he’d once been the head of Mexistar’s most powerful crime syndicate—the Costa family—a former godfather who was supposed to be long retired… or dead.

This was also the man who’d once mentored Hank Lonsdale, the one who’d insisted on handing the throne to an outsider like Hank, even if it meant tearing his own family apart.

If Laurence had been close to Hank, and if everything else matched what Loyce wanted, she didn’t hesitate. She accepted.

Laurence had RH-null blood, so rare there were fewer than fifty people in the world like him—nicknamed “golden blood.”

His condition was catastrophic: heart failure, liver fibrosis, both kidneys shutting down. In three years, he’d gone through five top-tier specialists. Every one of them had admitted defeat.

The latest report was blunt: six months, at most. A newly developed nutrient infusion was the only thing keeping him from slipping away.

After accepting him as a patient, Loyce posted a short message on the forum: [Patient accepted. Thread closed.]

The “lucky winner” contacted her that same night, frantic to get her on a flight to Mexistar immediately. Whatever price she named, they’d pay.

Loyce replied: [I don’t want money. I want you to do one thing for me.]

[Anything. If it’s possible, we’ll do it.]

She set a date. Once she got through Giselle’s teacher meeting, their private jet would pick her up that evening.

“I made it look like it came from you and sent it to her,” Sapphire said with a small, satisfied smile. “She didn’t notice anything off, because the content is real. Once she finishes upgrading the equipment, she’ll come to you with it.”

Gavin stared at her like she’d just confessed to swallowing poison on purpose. But then again, Sapphire had always been too “clean” for dirty business. The contracts all carried Purity Walsh’s private seal, hidden in a place only Gavin knew to look. If Loyce really handed those files to the authorities, Gavin would have leverage too. Plenty of it. Enough to flip the board and strike first.

His mouth curved. He stepped closer and slid an arm around Sapphire’s waist. “So our deal still stands?”

Sapphire slapped his hand away and looked him up and down with open disgust. “I’m done touching your filthy world. I’ll be a director, keep my image polished, and we never speak about the past again. I still have a future. I can marry into a real family.”

She picked up her bag and walked out.

Her attitude made Gavin’s expression darken, inch by inch.
