She Was the Treasure All Along novel Chapter 60

Loyce pressed her lips together. “I really am—”

“Enough.” The receptionist waved her off like a fly. “Stop making a scene. Keep it up and I’ll call security. Next time you want to pretend, at least dress properly.”

Loyce smiled slightly. “But didn’t the Lonsdale heiress go missing for years?”

“What missing heiress?” the receptionist snapped. “She’s living comfortably at Serenity Manor. You think some random woman like you can pretend to be her?”

Loyce understood immediately. The receptionist had mistaken Sybil for the Lonsdale heiress. She was not related by blood, but she was close enough in the family structure that her kinship was taken for granted.

Loyce wasn’t angry. She simply offered a calm warning. “You should call upstairs and confirm before you throw me out,” she said. “Because if I’m the one who makes the call, this won’t end nicely.”

The receptionist hesitated, uncertainty flickering across her face.

Then a voice cut in.

Keegan stepped forward with a mocking smile. “Well, well. Isn’t this Loyce? What, after getting kicked out of the Sampson family, you’re so desperate you’re pretending to be a Lonsdale heiress now?”

Marshall’s face darkened. “Loyce! Is this really the place for you to embarrass yourself?”

Keegan tilted his head, savoring it. “Mr. Sampson, look at your daughter. She’ll throw away her dignity to climb into someone else’s family.”

He turned to the receptionist, putting on a polished, gentlemanly tone. “Miss, scammers like this should be removed immediately. Don’t let her dirty the Lonsdale Group’s floors.”

The receptionist’s last trace of doubt vanished. Recognition lit her face.
