Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1164

The news really did come from Nicholas Lee’s two illegitimate sons. Still, before that happened, Aaron had made sure a little information ‘accidentally’ slipped their way.

What really set the sons off was hearing that Cynthia Lee would be the only heir to the Lee Group. Apparently, since she had NextGen Technologies behind her, giving her the company was the only way to guarantee its future. The illegitimate sons had waited their whole lives for a shot at the family business. As soon as they heard this, they panicked.

They knew their father—he only cared about his own interests. NextGen Technologies was the kind of backing he’d always dreamed of having. So the second Aaron’s planted rumor reached them, they bought it without a second thought. Faced with losing everything, they went for the loudest, most dramatic move they could think of: exposing their identities to the media.

At first, the news didn’t explode the way they’d hoped. But Aaron, who had been watching them closely, made a few quiet calls to the press. Suddenly, the story was everywhere, and things spiraled out of control.

Nicholas Lee didn’t know the whole story, but he could guess enough. He felt a cold sweat break out on his back as he looked at Dennis Williams.

When exactly had Dennis started plotting against him? He’d gathered so much evidence, even dug into Nicholas’s most private matters.

Nicholas had been in the business world long enough to spot a setup. His expression darkened as he stared at the group. “You… were you planning to take down the Lee family even when you were overseas?”

Now that everything was out in the open, there was no reason to pretend. Aaron just answered directly, “Nicholas, you’re not as clueless as I thought. Looks like you finally realized just how ruthless your own schemes were.”

Nicholas’s face twisted. “How is that possible? Sandra Taylor and Lavinia Roberts said the plan worked. Were they lying to us from the start? What would they get out of that? They hated Camila Davis just as much as we did. Why change sides all of a sudden?”

He suddenly looked up, a new thought hitting him. “Wait… was Camila Davis never even captured?”

That was the only thing that made sense. Why else would Lavinia and Sandra let her go?

But Aaron shook his head. “No, she was taken. But we found Red Spider fast and got her back. Honestly, it took a lot to bring that group down. But the fact that you let her fall into their hands is exactly why you deserve what’s coming.”
