Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 390

She had seen just how powerful the Lamont family’s PR team could be. Back when Hector’s affair came to light and he brought home Bruce, who was barely a teenager, the news exploded online. Still, the Lamonts’ people swept every rumor off the internet in just two hours, like it had never happened.

Stephen agreed. It was better to just watch everything play out from the sidelines.
