Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 303

Paul let out a sharp laugh. “You think I’m Bruce, always needing a girl to get ahead?”

Morris just stood there, lost for words. Frustration got the better of him and he raked a hand through his hair, then kicked over the chair next to him. “Damn it, I never thought Rebecca would actually be manipulative enough to ruin our friendships.”

Paul shot him a warning look. “I don’t want to hear that from you again.” He crushed out his cigarette, face tight with irritation, and walked straight into the bathroom.

Morris stared after him, stunned, his eyes going red. He was barely holding it together. “Are you kidding me, Paul? How long have we known each other? We grew up together, and now you’re threatening me over a girl?”

Paul’s eyes were cold. “I’m not asking for much. Just give her some respect.”

Morris’s chest rose and fell, anger simmering inside him. He pressed his tongue against his back teeth, then spat out, “Fine. Respect. I’ll respect her, okay?”

He suddenly gave a short laugh. “But what if she doesn’t want you? I don’t think she’s interested in you at all. She only cares about Stephen. She’s got her eyes set way higher, so why would she even bother with you?”

The words had barely left his mouth when something hard smashed against the wall. Paul’s phone broke apart and pieces scattered across the carpet. When Morris looked up, Paul was staring at him, eyes bloodshot. “Just shut up.”

Morris froze. This was insane. Everyone was losing it.

The next morning after breakfast, they had another day to themselves. Rebecca joined Stephen, Cindy, and Jon as they headed up the mountain to visit the omnastery and pray for some good luck. After a full night’s rest, Rebecca’s foot was feeling much better.

At the monastery, she bumped right into Paul and his friends.
