Betrayed, Then Back For Blood

Chapter 167

Archie’s concerns were valid. The visitors at his club were either wealthy or influential individuals. If word spread that there were drugs hidden in his establishment, especially involving his sister, it would lead to a complete disaster.

With so many people around, how could he expect to keep everything quiet?

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

By the time he got there, the place was in complete disarray. People from the other private rooms had heard the noise and rushed over to see what was happening.

The crowd was tightly packed, and if it hadn’t been for Reece and Hamish working hard to manage the situation, things could have escalated even more out of control.

“Mr. Goodwin, Mr. Hamish, thank you,” Archie said after he saw that Leyla’s hand had been bandaged and the powder on her face had been wiped off. He looked at the two of them with gratitude.

Reece brushed off the issue, claiming it was no big deal. Although he felt pretty annoyed, he kept his face calm. He said, “When we arrived, the place was already a mess. We need to be careful about the fallout from this. Your club is still new, and people are paying close attention.”

While his comments were unclear, anyone familiar with the situation would have understood it.

The folks at the club all had some sort of power or connections behind them, and one might never know who would try to betray him.

There was also the problem with Leyla, who had been caught doing drugs in front of a lot of people. If they didn’t handle it right, things could turn really

ugly.

Archie expressed his gratitude to Reece again.

He was feeling even more anxious about Leyla and Ashton, who were still in the next room and hadn’t shown up yet. Their group typically steered clear of such problems and avoided anyone involved in them.

If Archie didn’t manage the situation properly tonight, there was a serious risk that their company could lose its chance to work with these important people in the future.

Once Archie arrived, Reece and Hamish felt there was no reason to stick around any longer.

They quietly observed everyone who had gathered to see the disturbance, just in case any problems arose later. After glancing at Beatrice, who looked pale and scared in the corner, they calmly headed back to their private room.
