Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 174

Rebecca flinched, her heart jumping into her throat when she realized it was Bruce gripping her arm. The shock melted into anger.

“Let go,” she said, her voice cold and sharp.

Bruce’s chest tightened. He was thrown off by how harsh she sounded. He took a deep breath, trying to keep his cool.

“Who was that guy you had dinner with? Is he your new boyfriend?”

Rebecca rolled her eyes and tried to pull away, but Bruce was stronger and she couldn’t break free.

“That’s none of your business,” she snapped, still struggling.

Bruce let out a bitter, mocking laugh.

“Well, aren’t you impressive? First Stephen, and now some random pretty boy. You just keep collecting men to get back at me, huh?”

Rebecca stared at him, completely exasperated.

“Don’t flatter yourself. I’m honestly not doing anything because of you.”

“Oh really? So it’s just a coincidence that you were leaving with that guy the second I showed up? You wanted me to see, didn’t you?”

Rebecca actually laughed, the sound sharp and disbelieving.

“Bruce, since when did you get so full of yourself? If you’re right, then everyone in that restaurant is just hoping to bump into you. Seriously, get over yourself.”

Bruce was stunned into silence. His face turned darker by the second.

She used to love him more than anything, and now she was telling him to get over himself. The sting of that shift was something only Bruce could feel.

“Rebecca, come on. I know you’re not really over me.”

Rebecca closed her eyes, letting out a slow breath.

“You know me, Bruce. I don’t play games with my feelings.”

Bruce pressed his lips together.

“Then when are you coming back to me?”

She was so tired. She just wanted him to disappear.

Rebecca’s jaw tightened.

“Bruce, are you seriously trying to date both of us? Aren’t you worried your precious Sonja will find out and get her heart broken?”
