Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1166

After that, Dennis met Camila Davis and everything changed. He spent more time with Camila in a few months than he had with Cynthia Lee over all those years combined. In Dennis’s eyes, Cynthia was just someone he used to know. From the beginning, she was the one who kept overstepping, always pushing his limits.

Dennis had only tolerated her because of the elder Mr. Williams and the confusion left behind by their old engagement. He’d given the Lee family chance after chance, but all he got in return was more and more trouble. When they hurt Camila, when they almost took her life, that crossed a line he could never forgive.

Letting the police handle them instead of taking matters into his own hands was already more mercy than they deserved.

Of course, Cynthia didn’t understand any of that. As soon as Dennis made it clear he wanted nothing to do with her, she seemed to come completely unhinged. “How can you say that? Dennis Williams, we’ve known each other since we were kids. We grew up together! Our families were supposed to get married…”

“Enough already.” Aaron couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped in. “Ms. Lee, I think you’ve got the wrong idea about what childhood sweethearts actually means. That’s for people who grow up together and actually have feelings for each other. You and Mr. Williams? You barely spoke growing up. If you really want to call that childhood sweethearts, then Mr. Williams has enough of those to fill a whole block in Cabinda. And as for that so-called engagement, both families settled that ages ago.”

Aaron’s blunt words made Cynthia snap. “Who even asked you?” she snapped at him.

Aaron just smiled, not fazed at all. “Oh, I definitely get to talk. Ms. Lee, are you so lost in your own fantasies that you can’t see what’s right in front of you? Mr. Williams doesn’t even want to look at you, let alone talk.”

Cynthia wanted to argue back, but she couldn’t help glancing at Dennis. He didn’t say a word, his face cold and distant. The look in his eyes made her heart pound with fear. She didn’t dare push him any further.
