Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 235

Bruce seemed uneasy, but he didn’t go into detail. He just gave a quick rundown of the fierce competition between the two companies lately.

“What?” Kelley’s anger flared. “She’s actually trying to ruin you, to ruin NovaStack Cloud. That bitch!”

“Mom,” Bruce cut in, feeling like she was being way too dramatic. The last thing he wanted was to hear her talk about Rebecca like that. He stood up, heading for the stairs. “I’m tired. I’m going to bed.”

Kelley trailed after him. “Wait, what about meeting Sonja’s parents this weekend...”

“I already told Sonja we have to cancel. There’s an executive meeting at NovaStack Cloud.”

Kelley nodded, clearly approving. “You’re right. The company comes first. Love can wait.”

The next day, Kelley decided to handle things herself. She went to see Rebecca without telling Bruce.

At the restaurant, Rebecca handed her some water. Back when she and Bruce were together, Kelley had always treated her well.

“Mrs. Lamont, was there something you wanted to talk about?” Rebecca broke the silence.

Kelley flashed a smile, sizing her up. “It’s been a while. Rebecca, you’re even more beautiful and elegant than before.”

Rebecca smiled and thanked her, but she knew Kelley wasn’t here just to hand out compliments. She waited quietly, sipping her coffee.

Kelley got straight to the point. “Rebecca, I heard your company is going head to head with NovaStack Cloud.”

“Yes. It’s just business.”

“But Bruce is losing sleep over this. Couldn’t you, for old times’ sake, go a little easier? I know you’re upset about the breakup, but love can’t be forced.”

Rebecca almost laughed out loud. Seriously? Bruce needed his mom to beg for him?
