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.

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