She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 366

“The truck inspection could have been fooled,” Loyce said grimly, pointing at the monitor. “There are fresh tracks from a large iron cage being moved on the ground, right behind the kitchen, leading into the mountains. If that bear gets startled, the consequences will be unthinkable.”

“Bear, bear, I saw it!” Zelie, who had followed Loyce into the surveillance room at some point, kept repeating what she had seen.

Her presence immediately aroused the suspicion of the soldiers in the room.

The lieutenant looked at Zelie and then turned to Loyce. “Was it Zelie who told you she saw a bear? You can’t trust her word. We’ve run background checks on everyone working here. Zelie has a history of mental illness; she isn’t all there. She doesn’t even understand half the things she says.”

Loyce’s brow furrowed. “I’ve already determined she isn’t lying. You need to contact Lucian right now!”

But the lieutenant still found the idea preposterous. He stood up and said, “Loyce, these monitors are watching the students at all times. If we spot any unusual activity, we’ll immediately notify the soldiers on the mountain to handle it. Stop making a fuss over something a mentally unstable woman said.”

Loyce’s eyes flickered to the insignia on the lieutenant’s shoulder. Army. She glanced at the other soldiers in the room. All of them were Army, without exception.

It suddenly all made sense. If these had been Lucian’s men, the soldiers he had trained, they wouldn’t have been so foolish.

Any more words would be a waste of breath. These arrogant men would never believe her judgment. Loyce clamped her mouth shut, turned on her heel, and walked out.

As soon as the door closed behind her, a wave of laughter erupted from the surveillance room.

“A bear? We’ve practically turned over every inch of soil and dug up every cockroach and earthworm. How could there possibly be a bear? Hahaha…”

Loyce had come here merely to assist with the Ace Class students and wasn’t carrying anything for self-defense, let alone something to take down a bear. She turned to the simple-minded woman beside her. “I need a weapon. You know, something to fight bad guys with.”

Zelie thought for a moment, then nodded with a smile. “Yes!”

She took Loyce’s hand and led her to one of the manor’s recreation rooms. Since Victory High School had booked the entire manor, the rec room was deserted.
