Chapter 166

Beatrice felt a strange sense of unease ever since she saw Briar at the entrance.

However, as Briar hadn’t even glanced her way, Beatrice convinced herself she was just being paranoid.

Leyla and Beatrice were in a private room, which they had reserved just for themselves. Leyla, however, had invited a group of handsome young guys to keep them entertained. The atmosphere was lively, filled with music, dancing, and fun party games. There was a palpable excitement in the air.

Leyla was used to being in the spotlight, having always been surrounded by admirers. At Shoneport University, she played the role of a sophisticated heiress, but in private, she was quite the party enthusiast with some interesting tastes. She particularly liked charming boys. Those with rosy lips, perfect smiles, and a delicate appearance were exactly her type.

Leyla had a bit of a problem with drugs. The Haynes family, being one of the most influential families in Shoneport, usually kept tight control over this kind of behavior. But Leyla had an older brother who doted on her and would secretly give her what she wanted.

This was one of the big reasons why Frank wanted to stay away from her while they were at Shoneport University. After all, she partied way too hard. He knew that if Ashton ever discovered that he was involved with drugs, he would be furious.

Since Briar uncovered proof that Beatrice had hired a hitman, she had been digging into the entire situation. She was well aware of where Leyla sneaked off to at night, so when Ashton and the others suggested going to her brother’s club, Briar eagerly decided to tag along.

Using her phone to monitor the hidden camera feed from the private room, Briar waited patiently for the perfect moment to strike.

Just as she had anticipated, after chatting with one of the pretty boys for a while, Leyla got up and made her way toward a small side room. The boy obediently followed her inside. There were no cameras in that room, and this was her opportunity.

Moving like a ghost, Briar slipped into the vent above the small room. While Leyla had her eyes closed as she was lost in the boy’s passionate service, Briar silently and swiftly dropped down through the ceiling vent.

She acted fast, landing a sharp karate chop to each of their necks. With one hand, she caught the boy as he slumped, and with her foot, she hooked Leyla’s body to keep her from hitting the floor, making sure not a single sound escaped to alert anyone outside.

Briar stood over Leyla, watching her with her eyes shut tight. She pressed her foot against the inside pocket of Leyla’s jacket to check, then bent down and fished out a small bag of powder. It looked like Archie had just handed it to her today, as the seal hadn’t even been broken yet.
