She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 473

The moment the break ended, Holt stepped right back into work mode. His sharp eyes immediately noticed that Yolene's assistant had been lingering nearby, constantly filming with her phone.

"What exactly is your assistant recording?"

The young assistant panicked, immediately ducking behind her boss. "N-nothing!"

Yolene stepped smoothly in front of her assistant, using the moment to pry. "Do you know that woman? What's the deal between you two?"

Holt shot her a cold look. He didn't know what kind of game she was playing, but he issued a flat warning. "She saved my life. I highly suggest you drop whatever scheme you're cooking up and stay out of her way."

Yolene let out a sharp laugh. "Why would I mess with some random girl? Do you actually think Hank Lonsdale would come after me? Please. He cycles through women faster than anyone. He's never cared about a single one of them. You really think he'd start a war over a flavor of the week?"

She leaned in, a nasty smirk playing on her lips. "What I find fascinating is you. You're so terrified of Hank Lonsdale that you're actually willing to forgive the girl who destroyed your voice and ruined your career?" She smiled sweetly. "And now you're reduced to desperately riding my coattails for relevance. Doesn't that make you sick?"

"I don't need anyone's coattails," Holt replied flatly, refusing to waste another breath on her. He turned his back and threw himself completely into the shoot.

The rest of the day went off without a hitch.

Later, Yolene scrolled through the photos her assistant had handed over. A wicked smile curled her lips. She selected the one with the most damning angle and tossed her phone back to the assistant. "Post this on my Twitter."

Within half an hour, Yolene's new post had rocketed to the top of the trending charts, completely dominating the headlines.

Yolene: *@Holt, our first cover shoot together! You were so professional. Thanks for your hard work today, looking forward to next time!*

Below the caption was a selfie of Yolene flashing a peace sign. In the background, Holt was captured mid-turn, looking surprised, while Loyce was visibly standing in the shadows.

Her assistant then uploaded a separate dump of "behind-the-scenes" photos. Every single angle had been meticulously curated to clearly feature Loyce's face in the background, while conveniently cropping Hank entirely out of the frame.

It looked like an innocent photo dump, but it instantly detonated Holt's massive, fiercely protective fanbase.
