Chapter 645: Chapter 637: Car Accident

Listening to these old men, Archie Lockwood’s expression grew even darker than before. "What nonsense are you talking about? She’s my sister!"

"Sister? Really your sister? President Lockwood, I had no idea you had such a beautiful sister. Does she have a boyfriend? Why don’t you introduce us?"

"Get lost! My sister has a fiancé. She wouldn’t be interested in crude guys like you."

"Ahem, look at you getting all worked up. We were just joking."

"President Lockwood and his sister have completely different personalities."

...Archie Lockwood had no desire to listen to their nonsense. Annoyed, he stood up, pulled out his phone, opened the door, and walked out.

Once he was out of the private room, the call connected. On the other end, Leo Joyce’s slightly urgent voice came through. "I’ve run into a bit of trouble over here, so I won’t be coming over tonight."

"What kind of trouble? Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

"I had a little to drink and got into a collision while driving. It’s nothing serious, don’t worry."

Hearing that Leo Joyce had been drinking and crashed his car, Archie Lockwood’s brow furrowed, and his face darkened another shade. His gaze fell on the woman sitting on a sofa not far away. "Where are you now? I’ll have Howard Rhodes bring people over right away."

"It shouldn’t be far from you. Oh, the main road across from the Astoria Hotel. The police are here now. That’s all." With that, Leo Joyce hung up without waiting for Archie Lockwood to reply.

Archie Lockwood tightened his grip on his phone, his face grim, and strode toward Tiana.

’If the police weren’t involved, it would be easy to handle. At worst, it would just be a matter of paying up. But now, things were clearly a bit more troublesome.’

He shot a look at Howard Rhodes, who was blended into the crowd. Howard immediately stopped talking to the people around him and came over.

Archie Lockwood walked up to Tiana and said in a cold voice, "Tiana, I’m taking you home."

Hearing this, Tiana stood up nervously. "The banquet isn’t even over yet. I can just get a taxi home myself."

"It’s not safe for a girl like you to take a taxi alone. Let’s go."

"Okay."

Outside the hotel, Howard Rhodes drove.

Archie Lockwood and Tiana Grayson were both sitting in the back seat.

Archie Lockwood glanced at the route. "Howard, take the street by the Astoria Hotel."

"Yes, sir."

They had been driving for less than ten minutes when they got stuck in traffic.

Howard Rhodes looked ahead. The road was blocked off by traffic police with red tape, and all the cars were collectively jammed on the street. There was no way to back up and no way to move forward.

He was truly breaking out in a cold sweat, afraid his boss would get angry. "Boss, please wait here. I’ll go see what’s happened."

Archie Lockwood’s face was grim, his hands clenched slightly. ’So this is "nothing serious"?’

He looked back at Tiana and suggested, "The car’s not going anywhere now. Why don’t we get out and take a look, too?"

"Mm." Tiana Grayson also wanted to see what was going on, so she didn’t refuse.

After they got out of the car, before they could even get close to the crowd, Howard Rhodes came rushing over. "Boss, the person who got into the accident is Young Master Joyce."

"Young Master Joyce? Which Young Master Joyce?" The moment she heard "Young Master Joyce," Tiana’s heart lurched. Her pretty face instantly turned deathly pale. She grabbed Howard Rhodes’s arm tightly and asked urgently.

Only then did Howard Rhodes remember the relationship between Tiana Grayson and Leo Joyce. He quickly replied, "The young master of the Joyce Family, Leo Joyce."
