A Perfect Lie Hides Behind My Billionaire Marriage novel Chapter 490

Rona was a shrewd individual and wisely avoided mentioning Reese's name.

Instead, she addressed Ryder with caution, "Father, if we intend to inquire with the Van Eimeren family, we mustn't disclose the woman's identity. Doing so might imply that we're investigating Lukas, who could ruffle feathers. Besides, if Lukas catches wind of our inquiries regarding Reese, he may not react kindly.”

Talking openly about investigating someone else's son in front of them would undoubtedly cause anger. Besides, if Lukas found out that they were targeting Reese and didn't let it go, he certainly wouldn't be gentle with them.

They wanted justice in this matter. She was already married and had even gone on a blind date; they had to keep their focus. Lukas was in the wrong here, but Rona didn't think the Van Eimeren family would be able to use their influence to intimidate others.

She paused, gathering her thoughts, and continued, "We must navigate this situation with care. We'll approach the Van Eimeren family and say we've heard rumors about Lukas's marriage. Given his marital status, why did they arrange a blind date with me? Isn't this a calculated move? We should ask them to clarify their intentions, investigate the situation, and seek appropriate compensation for our family's honor. It's all a matter of preserving the Van Eimeren family's reputation."

Ryder listened to his daughter's sensible proposal and gave a nod of approval, "You're absolutely right. This approach will allow us to seek answers without undermining our status or antagonizing the Van Eimeren family."

Rona, feeling emboldened by her father's support, breathed a sigh of relief.

The next morning, Reese was anxious to check the message that Lukas had sent her before he left.

As time passed, there had been no response from Lukas to any of the messages she had sent after that. The typhoon had knocked out the communication signals in Las Pinas, and her attempts to call him had gone unanswered.

Yvonne Van Eimeren received a phone call from the housekeeper, and she hung up the phone.

She looked at the Young family members present and assured them: "Lukas is currently in Las Pinas on a business trip. Due to the recent typhoons, communications have been disrupted. Rest assured that when he returns, the Van Eimeren family will take care of this matter. What do you think, Mr. Young?"

Cillian Van Eimeren sat beside Yvonne, his arm around her protectively. Ryder, not daring to disagree, nodded in agreement, "Very well, I will return home and await updates. I hope Mr. and Mrs. Van Eimeren can understand our concerns. I don't have any ulterior motive, I just want to make sure that my daughter is not involved with a married man. It's the information about Lukas' marriage that prompted my inquiries.

Yvonne nodded her head and said generously, "I understand." Yvonne gave a graceful nod as she spoke to Rona, "Rona is a fine young lady. If it is indeed the case that we are at fault in this matter, I will have him apologize to you."
