Leonardo had always relied on Byron's backing to maintain order. No one dared cause trouble here, and if they did, a few threats were usually enough to scare them off. But this was the first time the bar staff had faced such a serious situation, and their unease was evident.
They quickly realized their boss had tangled with someone they couldn't afford to provoke. Though Daniel's exact background remained unclear, they decided to call for security to save face.
Yolanda, meanwhile, checked the time on her phone. Turning to Daniel's two subordinates, she gestured toward the unconscious Yvonne.
"Take her to the hospital. Quickly," she said. Her voice was calm but firm.
After an afternoon spent treating patients, Yolanda was exhausted and in no mood to linger.
"Got it!" Daniel barked while glaring at his men.
"Move faster! Or do you need me to do it myself?" He raised his foot, feigning a kick to spur them into action.
The two men wasted no time. They lifted Yvonne and made for the exit.
At the door, the staff hesitated, moving to block their way. But Yolanda's steady voice echoed from inside the private room.
"If something happens to her, not even your so-called Byron will be able to clean up the mess. Think carefully."
The staff exchanged uneasy glances. After a moment of indecision, they stepped aside to let them pass.
Daniel's subordinates carried Yvonne out, ensuring she would be taken to the hospital. Yolanda, meanwhile, wasn't overly concerned. Yvonne had no visible injuries apart from being drugged.
With the immediate crisis resolved, only Yolanda and Daniel remained in the bar. Yolanda stayed for a while longer. She was not entirely confident Daniel could handle the aftermath alone.
Still, she wasn't about to personally intervene further. The trouble was Yvonne's doing, and Yolanda had already gone above and beyond. She refused to waste more of her time on such trivial matters.
She pulled out her phone and called Blake.
Ten minutes later, Blake arrived with reinforcements.
The situation wasn't particularly complicated, but Yolanda took the opportunity to ask Blake to clean up the local underworld presence in the area.
The bar staff, once emboldened by Byron's protection, now turned pale at the sight of Blake. Panic spread among them, and they looked ready to flee.
As for Leonardo and Layla, Yolanda didn't concern herself with them. Knowing Yvonne's calculating and vengeful nature, she was certain they wouldn't escape unscathed.
After ensuring everything was under control, Yolanda left the bar and hailed a taxi back to the villa.
