Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1035

Audrey Williams puffed out her cheeks, clearly annoyed. “They really are the worst,” she said, backing the others up.

Douglas Williams let out a long sigh. “The Adams family always has something up their sleeve. I think they were worried Larry would grow up resenting them if he was raised by the Lanes, especially after what happened to his mother…”

Camila Davis couldn’t remember all the details, but from what she’d heard, she could piece together the main story. Watching the warm scene unfolding inside, she said softly, “At least the truth finally came out. That’s what matters.”

Jarvis Peters shook his head. “I honestly thought the Adams family couldn’t get any lower, but I was wrong. Larry was just a little kid, and they made him go through things that would break most adults. He’s had such a tough life.”

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Melissa George, always the sensitive one, was already wiping away a few tears. “I had no idea Mr. Adams had it so rough. It’s just heartbreaking.”

Inside the side room, once Larry and the Lanes had cleared the air, things finally started to calm down. The conversation turned to Joseph Adams and his mistress.

Mr. Lane was the first to praise Larry. “You did the right thing. That man and that woman deserved exactly what they got.”

Maisie Lane patted Larry’s shoulder. “You’re braver than most, Larry. Growing up in that family and still turning out so well, that’s a miracle.”

Larry blushed a little at the praise and managed a shy smile. “Honestly, I couldn’t have done any of this without Dennis. He’s always looked out for me, even when we were kids. Gathering all that evidence... I owe it to him.”

Thinking of Dennis Williams, Larry suddenly remembered he needed to introduce the two families. The Lanes already felt like family to him, and with the Williams family all there, it was the perfect time. He invited everyone in and made the introductions.

When the Lanes heard everything the Williams family had done for their grandson, all those years of support and help, their gratitude was written all over their faces.

Mrs. Lane, eyes shining with tears, said, “It was our fault for not being there for Larry. Thank you so much for taking care of him. We’ll never forget what you’ve done for us.”

Mr. Lane added, his voice steady and sincere, “If you ever need anything from the Lane family, just say the word.”
