Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 145

She remembered seeing Rebecca and Cindy traveling together for work, but she always thought they were just regular coworkers. It never crossed her mind that Cindy would actually take Rebecca’s side like this. In just a short time, the two of them had gotten so close, almost like best friends. So did that mean Stephen was in on it too?

Lately, Sonja had tried every trick she could think of to get Stephen’s attention. She wanted to warn him about Rebecca’s non-compete agreement with NovaStack Cloud, but nothing seemed to work. She even tried going through mutual friends, dropping hints and passing messages, but Stephen never responded.

Now, after hearing what Cindy said, it seemed like Duncan Corporation was ready to go all out to protect Rebecca. That was fine. Even if Duncan Corporation helped her, Sonja had her own way to ruin Rebecca’s reputation in the industry. As soon as she won the arbitration, she’d spread the story far and wide. Who would want to work with someone who broke their word? Sooner or later, Stephen would have to fire her.

Just thinking about it made Sonja smile. She linked her arm with Bruce’s and said, “Bruce, since Ms. Harper isn’t interested in our offer, there’s no point in keeping trying to convince her.” Then she gave Rebecca a look full of challenge. “Sorry, but we won’t be going easy on you in there.”

Rebecca just smiled coldly. “The game isn’t over yet. You might be surprised by how it ends.”

Sonja’s eyebrow arched, and she didn’t bother to reply. She just looked at Rebecca with a hint of pity, as if to say, You’re still putting on a brave face when you’re about to lose. How sad.

Cindy kept close to Rebecca as they got into the elevator together. Once the doors closed and they were alone, Cindy leaned in and whispered, “Are you really sure about all this?”

Rebecca gave her a confident smile and lifted the file folder in her hand. “Relax. I’ve got everything we need to turn this around.”

Cindy still looked worried. “It seems like they already talked to a lawyer. Losing money is one thing, but I’m more afraid of what this could do to your reputation.”
