No Chance of Remarriage Get Lost (Elisa) novel Chapter 1844

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.

With that thought, Bella prepared a delightful spread of dishes to welcome Paul when he dropped by for the second time.

She cautiously brought up the subject during their meal, carefully watching Paul's reactions.

"Never mind Elisa kicking me out; I can handle that here. But what irks me is how she belittles me to get at you. And on top of that, she's playing political games, trying to outmaneuver you, right?"

Rochelle put forth her idea carefully, reading Paul's expressions.

Noticing his initial annoyance, she pressed on, "Here's my thought: Elisa Benett might be a tough opponent for now, but that doesn't mean we can't outmaneuver her through a different route, right?"

"Take Bella, for example. Who can say what that guy had put her through during her kidnapping? Who knows if he messed with her mind, scarred her soul, or even physically offended her? It's no news that people get swayed by rumors; they'll believe any story, no matter its authenticity. We can start by throwing around some bogus stories about Bella, aiming to sully her reputation and even hinting at the possibility of a traumatic incident during her kidnapping; it could seriously mess with her mind and emotions. Who knows, she might choose to walk away from her position. If Bella isn't there to back up Elisa, let's see how long she can keep up that high-and-mighty act!"

With her words hanging in the air, a sense of unease crept in as she turned to Paul, awaiting his response.

Rochelle wasn't sure if Paul would be on board with her plan.

An uneasy silence hung in the air, broken by Paul's suggestive smile.
