Rising from the Ashes BY Only For You Novel

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 .

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 +25 BONUS 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 .
