Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1030

The Jones Group was basically done for. Bankruptcy was just a matter of time. Maybe others didn’t see the writing on the wall, but Jordan did. All their money was locked up in a few big projects. The longer they dragged things out, the worse it would get. Even the Smith Group couldn’t bail them out now.

And as for his brother Lucas Smith, things were just as bad.

Nathan Gates came over to give him the latest update, and he sounded completely defeated. “There’s no way to keep Lucas’s mess under wraps this time. The backlash online is huge. Pretty much everyone knows what he did. Looks like someone tipped off the authorities, too. The legal process is moving fast. Our lawyers tried to get him out on bail, but there’s nothing they can do.”

To put it plainly, Lucas Smith was out of options. There was no way he was getting out of this clean.

After hearing all that, Jordan closed his eyes for a moment, hiding the storm brewing inside him. Dennis Williams’s moves were brutal and fast. Jordan hadn’t seen it coming.

Still, even with the Smith Group stock in free fall, they were still Harrisburg’s top family. Their foundation was solid, and Jordan had managed everything carefully over the years. The Smiths weren’t easily shaken.

Jordan was a sharp businessman. He knew how to make tough choices. The first thing he did when he got back was cut off all business with the Jones Group. That one decision kept the Smith Group from getting dragged down with them and saved them a lot of money. The shareholders respected him for it.

But the Jones family didn’t see it that way.

That night, Jordan came home to find his mom and a few of the Jones family elders waiting for him. The mood in the living room was tense.

His grandparents’ faces darkened as soon as they saw him.

“Grandpa, Grandma, what brings you here? You didn’t even call ahead. Are you staying for dinner?” Jordan tried to act casual, pretending he had no idea why they were there.
