NovelStartRona 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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthey 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 tpassed, 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.
Fear gnawed at her.
At around ten o'clock, the housekeeper at the Hill Crest One Residence called Reese out of the blue, worried
about Lukas' whereabouts. "Ma'am, Mr. Strakovski's mother called inquiring about his whereabouts and
expressing concern that she hasn't been able to get in touch with him."
Reese recalled that Lukas had been out of town on an impromptu business trip the previous night without any
notice to the housekeeper. She assured the housekeeper, "There is a problem at the jewelry processing plant in
Las Pinas, and my husband is away on a business trip. Tell his mother, and I'll ask him to contact his family when
he returns.
The housekeeper nodded and passed on the message. However, Reese didn't notice that the housekeeper called
the madam of the Van Eimeren family about the situation, not Mrs. Strakovski.
Had she noticed the discrepancy earlier, she might have discovered the truth

sooner.
At the stime, in the ancestral hof the Van Eimeren family...
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, | will return hand await updates. | hope Mr. and Mrs. Van Eimeren can understand
our concerns. | don't have any ulterior motive, | 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, | will have him apologize to
you."
