A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel 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?"

Rona felt a wave of anger bubble up inside of her, and her words came out like a raging torrent, "So you knew, and you chose to 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.

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.
