Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 393

Sonja looked completely sure of herself. “Mom, trust me. Shawn wouldn’t lie to me, and you know what he’s capable of. If he says it’s fine, it’s fine. Now all we need is the money.”

Avery let out a long sigh. “I guess we don’t have any other choice. The Campbell Group has never done all that well, but it’s what your grandparents left us. I never thought about selling it until we ran out of options.”

Sonja squeezed her mom’s hand. “I know it’s hard, but we’re just making sacrifices now so we can come back stronger. Once we have control of NovaStack Cloud and it goes public, we’ll be set. The options we hold will take care of us for the rest of our lives, and the Campbell Group will get another chance.”

Avery smiled at her, a mix of hope and worry in her eyes. “I believe in you. I know you won’t let me down. Starting tomorrow, I’ll work on selling off what I can. If I can’t sell it, I’ll see what I can mortgage.”

They had just finished talking when Avery’s phone rang. Bruce’s name flashed on the screen.

Sonja ran her fingers through her hair, clearly annoyed. She practically yelled, “He’s calling again about those stupid rumors online, isn’t he? It’s so exhausting! He has like a thousand questions. If he really cared, shouldn’t he be convincing the Lamont family to help wipe those posts for me?”

She turned to Avery. “Mom, help me out here. Just tell him I was so upset about the rumors that I took a sleeping pill and knocked out.”

Avery rubbed her back in comfort. “Alright. They can say whatever they want online. It’ll blow over soon. People forget fast. Don’t stress about it. But you need to keep Bruce close. Don’t let him see through you, at least not until we have those stock options.”

Sonja took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down. “I get it. I’m going to wash up.”
