Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 180

"Lottie, wake up. Are you drunk?" Rebecca called out as she walked over, her voice cutting through the noise.

Will jumped at the sound, his gaze snapping to the two girls heading his way. For a moment, he just stared. Both girls were absolutely stunning, their looks and confidence miles above the girl hanging on his arm. A slow, smug grin crept onto his face.

Cindy stepped up, ready to fight. "How dare you put your hands on my friend!"

Rebecca's heart sank. Clutching her purse, she took a steadying breath. "Just answer me. Are you going with him because you want to, or is he forcing you? If it's the second—"
