Betrayed and Dumped: She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 402

When Brett heard the name, his face changed for a second, but he still reached out his hand. “Ms. Harper.”

Stephen glanced over at Rebecca. “This is my cousin, Brett. He’s been living overseas. He just got back yesterday.”

Rebecca understood right away. So that was why Jaime had called him home yesterday. It was because Brett returned.

She shook his hand. “Hello, Mr. Duncan.”

The three of them chatted for a bit. Brett kept sneaking glances at Rebecca. Whenever she looked his way, he’d quickly look away like nothing happened. After the third time, Rebecca started to feel weird. Did Brett know her from somewhere?

She was still thinking about it as she left, riding the elevator down. As the doors opened, she almost bumped into Cindy.

Rebecca told her about running into Brett upstairs.

Cindy frowned. “Wow, I didn’t think he’d actually show up.”

Rebecca bit her lip. “I don’t remember you ever mentioning him before.”

“Yeah, well.” Cindy lowered her gaze. “He and my aunt have lived abroad for years. They never come back unless they have to.”

So that explained it. Rebecca didn’t ask more, since it’s their family business.

She turned to head back to her office, but Cindy caught her arm and tugged her into a quiet corner. She dropped her voice. “Rebecca, you want to know about my cousin, right?”

Rebecca felt her cheeks heat up. “Was it that obvious?”

Cindy grinned. “Totally obvious. You never ask about people you don’t care about. The moment you asked, I knew. But I’m not telling. I’ll let my brother fill you in.”

Rebecca’s eyes flickered. “I don’t think that’s a good idea. For one thing, I barely know Stephen. And he’s so busy… really, I just got curious, that’s all.”
