Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 364

Now that the company was thriving and gearing up to go public, it didn’t really mean much to the employees. They couldn’t care less about an IPO. All they wanted was less stress, more pay, and a short commute.

Aiden thought about arguing some more, but what was the point? Everyone in the company knew Bruce and Sonja were about to get engaged. Sonja was Bruce’s fiancée now. They were family. Why would Bruce ever listen to him?

He forced a bitter smile. “Alright. We’ll do things Sonja’s way.”

Sonja flipped her long, curly hair and looked down her nose at him. “Good, Aiden. Let’s put that little disagreement behind us. I’m not going to hold it against you. As for your team, when I said I’d fire them, I was just trying to scare them. I’m sure you understand the situation. Please, help smooth things over for me.”

She gave a sly smile at the camera, turning her attention to Bruce on the other side of the call.

“Bruce, the engagement’s the day after tomorrow. I’ll text you some details later. Help me make some decisions, okay?”

Her words were a warning for everyone in the room. She was about to become Bruce’s wife. Half the company would soon be in her hands. If anyone dared cross her, she could kick them out whenever she wanted.

Everyone got the hint. Heads bowed, no one said a word.

When the meeting cleared out and most people had left, Shawn walked up behind Aiden and patted him on the shoulder.

“A smart bird picks the right tree,” he said quietly.

Aiden looked up, startled. What did that mean? Was he reading too much into it? Wasn’t Shawn one of Sonja’s people?

While Aiden was still trying to figure it out, Shawn just smiled and strolled off toward the elevator.

Still, once NovaStack Cloud was truly hers, maybe she’d rethink things. Who knew? That’s why she didn’t shut the door all the way. Shawn should understand what she meant.

In his office on the second floor of NovaStack Cloud, Shawn stood by the window, listening to Sonja. A cold, humorless smirk played at his lips.

“Sonja, has anyone ever told you how repulsive you are when you get this full of yourself?”

Sonja’s answer was quick. “You’re just mad because you can’t have me. I forgive you.”

Shawn laughed for real then, shaking his head. He was done playing games.

“Over half of the R&D team just quit. You figure out how to fix this mess.”
