Betrayed and Dumped She Rose Stronger Than Ever novel Chapter 534

Back at the office, Rebecca was quickly given her old job back. The notice came straight from corporate HR.

But Brett still hadn’t come back to work. With him gone, several company projects had to be put on hold. The project managers were starting to panic, wiping sweat from their brows as they came to Rebecca to ask what to do.

Rebecca thought about it for a moment. “Let’s give it a bit more time. We need to see what Mr. Duncan decides.”

Most people in the office didn’t know why Brett had vanished and stopped answering his phone, but Rebecca did.

At lunch, she met up with Stephen and asked how Brett was doing.

Stephen said, “He can talk now, but he’s still not himself. At least Ben’s been there with him.”

Rebecca nodded. “What about the company? I’m just the VP, so there are things I can’t decide on my own. Maybe you should take over for now. That way everything stays above board.”

“I’ll talk to Grandpa this afternoon,” Stephen said.

“Okay. Let me know what he says.”

That afternoon, Brett showed up at the office out of nowhere. He was there to pack up his things.

Marissa was frantic, her voice shaky. “Mr. Duncan, if you leave, what am I supposed to do?”

Brett looked at her and said, “You know why you’re here. This job was never really yours.”

Marissa didn’t want to go. The office was so much better than waiting tables at a restaurant. The pay was better too. There was no way she was gonna leave.

“Mr. Duncan, since I’m Ben’s aunt, can you please say something for me? Let me stay, just this once?”

After Joan was arrested, the police had reached out to Marissa, who was her only family. When she heard what really happened, Marissa was shocked and scared—she’d almost gotten dragged into the mess herself.
