Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 310

The Campbell and Lamont families pulled some strings to keep the drama under wraps, so the news barely made it past their inner circles. Somehow, though, Paul caught wind of it, even though he was still out of town on a business trip. He couldn’t get back right away, so all he could do was call and check in.

Of course, he trusted Rebecca more than Sonja. His voice was gentle, full of worry, as he tried to comfort her.

Rebecca had already gotten herself together. “I’m fine now. Thanks for checking on me,” she said, her voice cool and steady.

Paul felt a wave of bitterness in his chest. He could tell Rebecca was putting more and more distance between them.

“Rebecca,” he said, calling her by her full name for the first time. “No matter what happens, I believe you. I’m always on your side.” His voice was shaky, barely above a whisper. “Can you please not…”

Not push him away.

Rebecca went quiet for a moment. When she finally spoke, her tone was apologetic. “Sorry, I have to go.”

Paul felt like his heart was splitting in two. But he was stuck, out of town, and with his dad watching his every move, there was nothing he could do. Even if he wanted to drop everything and fly to her, it just wasn’t possible.

So, his only option was to ask Judy to look after Rebecca.

Judy didn’t waste any time. As soon as her workday ended, she called Rebecca. “Rebecca, we haven’t had a girls’ night in ages. Let’s try that new murder mystery game everyone’s obsessed with. What do you think?”

Rebecca actually smiled. “Sounds good to me.”

After work, Rebecca waited by Judy’s car. They planned to grab dinner first, then head to the game. Judy jogged over, all smiles, but when she opened the passenger door, her excitement fizzled out.

Cindy was already in the car.

Judy nodded right away. She didn’t know the details, but from the way Paul sounded, she could guess Rebecca had gotten on the wrong side of somebody. Whoever it was, Judy was sure they weren’t worth knowing.

Cindy looked at her, squinting. “Do you even know who we’re talking about? You’re just nodding along.”

Judy batted her eyes, completely innocent. “I don’t need to know. I trust Rebecca completely. I’ll always back her up. I swear, I’ll protect Rebecca no matter what.”

It was so dramatic, but kind of touching at the same time.

Rebecca wanted to laugh, and she also felt a little choked up. She hadn’t known Judy for that long, but Judy’s loyalty was the real deal.

Cindy grinned, pinching Judy’s chubby cheeks. “Paul might run with the wrong crowd, but you turned out great. I guess big eyes really do see people clearly.”
