Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 314

Lottie burst out laughing, her gaze locked on Rebecca’s face. She seemed determined to see how long Rebecca could keep up that cool, unbothered act.

Rebecca didn’t so much as blink. Whatever Lottie said just seemed to float right by her.

Annoyed, Lottie stepped closer and patted her own stomach, faking surprise. “Oh wow, Rebecca, I didn’t mean anything by what I said just now. You don’t think I was talking about you, right?”

Rebecca looked at her, cold as ever. “No.”

“So then…”

“I didn’t hear anything worth listening to.”

Lottie’s face turned red. “What are you talking about?”

Rebecca raised an eyebrow. “Did I mention your name? Don’t flatter yourself.”

“You…” Lottie’s chest was rising and falling with anger. She let out a sharp laugh. “What are you even so proud of? Your ex dumped you and moved on to someone else in no time. They’re getting engaged next month. Your company, which you spent five years building, is about to go public, but you don’t own a single share. Rebecca, you’re honestly such a joke. The first half of your life is just one big failure.”

Rebecca just watched her, eyes icy, as if Lottie’s outburst was nothing more than background noise.

“My life isn’t going to be ruined by a few petty words from you. I’m not going to torture myself over someone else’s mistakes either. But you… you’re pregnant and not even married. Does the Bernan family know? Does Morris know?”

Lottie’s face went pale. “How did you know the baby is—”

Before she could finish, another fitting room door slammed open.

“Phil, pay for everything!” Lottie snapped, glaring at one of her bodyguards. She yanked her hat down and hurried for the exit, head low.

Her two bodyguards trailed after the shorter sales assistant to the register.

Judy came over just then. “What happened? I finished my call and stopped by the restroom.”

Rebecca shook her head. “Nothing important.”

Cindy rolled her eyes. “Nothing? Please. Next time you see someone like that, you should really put her in her place.”

Rebecca just smiled. “Not worth it. I don’t have energy to waste on people like that. I’d rather just ignore them.”
