Chapter 1844 Rumors and Gossip

Now that the dust had settled from the whole dramatic incident, Rochelle definitely took the biggest hit from the news, no doubt about it.

She was struggling to come to terms with how everything played out.

As Rochelle delved into the matter, she discovered that Luke had been the one to contact her before things escalated.

As for Bella's kidnapping, Paul eventually filled her in about the whole story, but not until much later.

In hindsight, Luke had likely intended to rope Rochelle to his side, and Elisa had likely been the ultimate target.

To Luke, involving Bella was just a pawn in the game, with Elisa as the ultimate prize.

However, the entire plan fell through. Every time this messed-up operation crossed her mind, a surge of anger would rise within Rochelle.

But then, seemingly out of nowhere, a brilliant idea struck her like lightning.

Perhaps she should ride the wave, strategize around it, and leverage it to her advantage, flipping the odds in her favor.
