Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 613

Camila Davis’s eyes narrowed as she stepped protectively in front of Sarah Brown, shielding her from Allen’s advance. At the same time, a small bottle of pepper spray somehow appeared in her hand.

Allen was really pushing it this time.

She’d tried to keep the peace, tried to avoid making things worse, but clearly, he had no boundaries.

Well, if he wanted a fight, she was done playing nice.

Just as Camila was about to unleash the spray, a sharp voice rang out from across the banquet hall.

“Stop right there!”

The voice was commanding, cutting through the tension like a knife. “Jonathan Allen, I’d think twice if I were you. Lay a finger on her, and you won’t like the consequences!”

The room seemed to freeze. Even Jonathan Allen looked momentarily stunned, his bravado faltering.

Heads turned all around, curious to see who dared interrupt at a moment like this.

Camila and Sarah glanced toward the entrance.

Standing in the doorway was a tall figure in a sleek silver-gray suit. The man looked effortlessly handsome, his expression calm yet emanating a cold, almost dangerous energy.

Both women stared in shock.

“Wait—is that Larry Adams?” Sarah breathed, barely believing her eyes. “He’s… different from how he was back in Harrisburg.”

Camila agreed silently. The Larry Adams she’d known before was nothing like the man before them now.

But Camila caught on quickly. This change probably had everything to do with his new position, and whatever family drama he’d been dragged into. Still, the transformation was staggering. No wonder Dennis Williams had said Larry wasn’t having an easy time lately.

While everyone else was still reeling, Larry strode confidently toward them.

“Isn’t that the Adams family’s black sheep?” someone whispered nearby.

“Yeah. Does Larry Adams really think he can stand up to Allen? That’s rich.”

“Well, don’t forget—he’s got Mr. Williams backing him up these days.”

Guests murmured among themselves, casting odd glances at Larry. Some looked down on him, some were clearly jealous, and others seemed just a little wary.
