Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 169

Rebecca, when she was so sure of herself and totally in control, was just... magnetic. He couldn't help it—his gaze kept drifting back to her, lingering longer than it should.

Meanwhile, in another private room, Greg’s eyes sparkled. “Scott, are you serious? If I sneak out next year’s R&D plan, NovaStack Cloud will really make me head of R&D?”

Scott took a long drag on his cigarette and smirked. “Of course I’m serious. Once you’re at NovaStack Cloud, with your salary and stock options, you’ll be pulling in at least half a million a year.”

Half a million. At that rate, Greg could be set for life in less than two years.

He bit his lip, barely able to hide his excitement. He kept picturing that house in the right school district—just like his wife always wanted. His mom could finally live in that fancy nursing home she deserved. All he had to do was get the R&D plan from Rebecca’s office, and everything he wanted would finally be within reach.

A month ago, a buddy from Meridian Tech messaged him out of the blue, asking if he was up for some side work. Greg had said yes right away. They’d agreed to meet after work.

When he showed up, Scott was there too. Greg had heard all about Scott getting fired from Meridian Tech—everyone in the industry had. He just didn’t get why Scott was involved.

His friend patted him on the shoulder. “This is the guy paying for the job.”

Scott reached out to shake Greg’s hand. “I bet you’re wondering why I picked you, right? But once you hear my story, you’ll get it.”

“…Rebecca only landed the Meridian Tech project because she had something going on with Mr. Nichols. I spoke up. She wanted revenge, so she whispered in Mr. Nichols’ ear and got me fired. Not just that, she trashed my name everywhere, saying I was having an affair with Sonja from NovaStack Cloud. But it was all Rebecca’s setup.”

Greg clenched his teeth. “So she’s done this before. What a piece of work!”

Scott’s lip curled in a sneer. “Looks like you’ve had trouble with her too, huh? We should team up and take her down. It’ll be a public service for the whole industry.”

With Scott guiding him, Greg started small. First, he passed along Rebecca’s business trip info. Then he destroyed a mediation letter meant for her. Ten days ago, he tipped Scott off about a patent Sunforge Tech planned to buy next year.

Now, Scott was asking for the big one—the R&D plan from Rebecca’s office.
