Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 148

Sonja spoke up, her voice clear and steady. “Rebecca was working as Sales Manager. The contract wasn’t updated for some reasons, but in reality, she was already a senior manager. That means she should be held to the non-compete agreement.”

Rebecca gave a cold laugh. Now they wanted to call her a manager. Too bad she wasn’t having it.

She shot back, “Oh, Sonja, you must be joking. I never had what it takes to be a manager. After my transfer, I was just another regular employee. Don’t believe me? Just a month ago, your Mr. Lamont said exactly that in front of plenty of people. I have witnesses.”

It was true. A month ago, Bruce had said it himself. His exact words: “Rebecca is just a regular employee. Let’s be precise with titles in this company.”

Rebecca smiled, almost sweetly. “So, Mr. Lamont, I hope you can be precise.”

Bruce’s face went pale. He never thought that offhand comment would come back like this, hitting him right where it hurt.

There was no question. Rebecca had won.

The arbitrator announced the decision right then. His assistant took the paperwork to get it stamped, then handed the official copies to both sides.

Cindy was practically glowing with pride. She snapped a photo of the papers and uploaded it to her social media.

“This is amazing!” she said, hugging Rebecca tight.

By the time they finished celebrating, Bruce and Sonja were already gone.

Cindy laughed and threw an arm around Rebecca. “Come on. We have to celebrate this win. My treat. Pick anywhere you want.”

Elsewhere, in the back seat of a Maybach, Sonja sat in silence, her mood heavy ever since they left.

Bruce slowed the car and pulled over, glancing at her. “It’s okay. This wasn’t your fault. You joined late, it’s normal not to know everything that happened before.”

But Sonja’s mind was elsewhere. Losing wasn’t a big deal. She already knew how to shift the blame. She was thinking about something else entirely.
