Chapter 307 At the hotels front entrance , Michael felt his heart pounding in his chest .
Mr.
Giordano , weve searched every room , but theres no sign of them , one of Atlas men reported .
Atlas stood with his hands behind his back , his face cold and unreadable .
On the other hand , Michael let out a long sigh of relief .
Thank goodness Finley managed to escape , he thought .
At least now , he would not have to bear the consequences of this disaster .
Mr.
Giordano , like Ive told you before , you must have made a mistake , Michael said with a forced smile .
Our hotel isnt even open for business today .
Trying to sound as casual as possible , Michael was eager to get Atlas to leave before something went wrong .
However , Atlas gave him a sharp , icy glare , and Michael forced himself to stay calm , staring back without flinching .
After all , he reasoned , Finley and Yvonne had already slipped out the back .
Even if Atlas suspected something , hewould not have any proof .
Without evidence , there was nothing for him to fear .
Mr.
Giordano , Michael said , feigning a tone of helplessness , having your men search my hotel like this isnt exactly good for business .
How do you expect the Rhodes family to maintain its reputation with things like this happening ? Atlas expression did not change , but his voice was cold as ice .
Ill ask you one more time- are you sure Finley and Yvonne arent here ? Michael stood tall , speaking firmly and confidently .
Mr.
Giordano , do you really think Id dare lie to you ? I believe this is just a misunderstanding .
Mr.
Moore is your close friend , and Ms.
Fuller is your woman ! How could anything like this possibly happen ? His words were calm , deliberate , and designed to absolve Finley of any suspicion .
For a moment , they seemed to work .
Atlas hesitated , his expression softening slightly , Maybe , just maybe , Dylan and Natasha had fed him a pack of lies to stir up trouble ..
Yvonne had always been loyal to him , and with his reputation as the Northern Districts boss , she would not dare betray him .
As for Finley , while he was undoubtedly a shameless womanizer , he usually knew where to draw the line when it really mattered .noveldrama
Atlas was just about to admit his mistake when one of his men rushed over , looking nervous .
Mr.
Giordano … Mr.
Moore and Ms.
Fuller … weve found them , the man stammered , barely able to meet Atlas eyes .
The calm on Atlas face vanished in an instant , replaced by pure rage .
Where are they ? Bring Chapter 307 those shameless traitors to me right now ! he roared , his voice shaking the walls .
Michaels ears rang from the outburst , and his knees nearly gave out as he wondered how they were caught .
Michael felt like the world was collapsing , and he could not believe what was happening .
Before he could piece together what went wrong , Finley and Yvonne were dragged in by Atlas men .
Finley looked disheveled, his clothes in disarray , while Yvonnes messy hair and bruised body told the rest of the story .
Atlas eyes burned with unrelenting fury as he glared at the pair .
Where did you find them ? One of his men replied nervously , At the back door , sir .
It looked like they were trying to sneak away , but … but for some reason , they came back and ran into us .
Yvonne immediately threw herself at Atlas feet , grabbing his leg and sobbing hysterically .
Its not what you think ! Please , let me explain Im innocent ! she wailed , her voice trembling with desperation .
