John B bringing Sarah to the Chateau to join the gold hunt was a recipe for disaster, and everyone knew it.

He claimed it was because of the info she gave him, but let's be real, we all saw the way he looked at her. And then there was Kie. Their history was… messy. Kook drama from way back, with Kie feeling totally betrayed by Sarah. So, yeah, tension was high.

Things went south fast.

“Exactly—that you’re a liar?” Kie’s voice was dripping with all the hurt and anger she’d been holding in.

Sarah didn’t even blink. “No. That you’re a shit-talking bitch,” she shot back, just as nasty.

Whoa. You could practically feel the shockwave ripple through the room.
JJ, of course, was loving it. He whipped out his cash, grinning like a maniac, and started making bets with Pope.

You, sitting next to JJ, were kind of speechless. You’d always thought Sarah was kinda… icy. But damn.

“I told you she’s cool… wow…” you mumbled, low-key impressed. Okay, maybe a little bit girl-crushing.

John B, though? He was freaking out.

He’d been so sure he could make this work, that the Pogues would just accept Sarah. Now, watching Kie and Sarah go at it, he looked like he wanted the floor to swallow him whole.

You grabbed JJ’s arm before he could throw all his money away. “JJ, that’s your only cash—” you started, but Kie interrupted, her voice sharp.

“I’m out. Not doing this if she’s in,” Kie said, glaring at Sarah. And just like that, she stormed out of the Chateau. Sarah, totally unfazed, stood up. She looked at John B, her face blank.

"I told you,” she said, and then she walked out too, leaving John B standing there looking like a total idiot.

The treasure hunt just got a whole lot more complicated.
