BOOKSDRAMA Chapter 488
After Rona had finished speaking, she walked away, her high heels clicking in time to the rhythm of her racing thoughts.
This was not something that could be left unresolved. She needed answers, especially from the Strakovski family and Emily
Scholl. Her outrage was a burning fire that needed to be explained.
Rose watched Rona leave, a sardonic smile playing at the corner of her lips. She couldn't help but wonder: Could Rona really
carry this burden?
Speaking of which, Rona had no intention of swallowing her pride. She walked out of the Butterfly Pavilion, jumped into her car,
and without hesitation, dialed Emily's number.
When the call connected, she got right to the point, her voice tense with anticipation, "Emily, did you know that Reese and Lukas
have tied the knot?"
Emily's response was a surprised, "You know?"
keep me in the dark and treat me like a fool?"
Emily hastened to apologize, "Rona, it's not like that. You misunderstand. I just... let me be honest with you. When Lukas and I
broke up, I was devastated, especially when I found out that he got married to Reese Roberts. I couldn't bear the thought. I'm
abroad right now, and I've had my hands full with a few things. It hasn't been easy for me to come home."
Rona seethed, her anger barely contained, "So you knew, but you kept me in the dark. Your hope was that I'd take care of Reese
for you and that you'd reap the benefits upon your return. Emily, what you're planning may be cunning, but I see through it. I've
always cared for you, but now I've seen your true colors. Our friendship ends here."
With that, Rona abruptly ended the phone call, leaving Emily standing there in stunned silence.
It was true that she had her own motives, but after breaking up with Lukas, she had been open about how she felt about him.
The fact that Emily was using her as a pawn was something she couldn't stand.
Rona promptly added Emily to her blacklist, turned her car around to head home, and decided to confront the Strakovski family
about their cover-up of Lukas' marriage and their arrangement of her blind date. However influential the Van Eimeren family
were, they couldn't ignore the Young family.
Meantime, Reese and Lucas had just returned to their home at Hill Crest One Residence.
As Lukas held Reese close to him, his cell phone rang, interrupting their private moment. He glanced at the phone screen and
saw that it was his assistant, Martins Parker, who was on the other end of the line.
With a stern expression on his face, Lukas gently released Reese and answered the call. His voice was urgent, "What's going
on, Martins?"
Martins' voice on the other end of the line sounded desperate, "Mr. Strakovski, Typhoon 'Habita' made landfall today and has
wreaked havoc in Las Pinas. Our largest jewelry processing plant, which is located along the coast, has been hit very hard. The
extent of the damage is unknown, and because of the storm, many workers have gone missing. What should we do?"
Lukas's face darkened further, his eyes betraying his deep concern. He replied with determination, "Book me on the next
available flight. I'm going there tonight."
Martins hesitated, realizing the gravity of the situation. He spoke with a touch of concern, "Mr. Strakovski, the typhoon is
extremely powerful right now and there are reports of casualties. It's dangerous. Are you sure you want to go?"
Lukas understood the unspoken concern but was determined, "There is no need to dissuade me. I have to go and take charge of
the situation myself. Please arrange the flight."
Martins sighed in resignation, "All right, I'll do it. I'll go with you."
The urgency of the situation left no room for hesitation.
