Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 892

“We’re just following the legal requirements and giving him a few visitations, that’s all.” Audrey nodded in understanding. “Oh, I see.” She had complete faith in her brother’s judgment and decisions. If he had agreed to let the man see the child, he obviously wasn’t worried about any problems arising. She quickly ended the call and began to reconsider Cynthia Lee’s motive for telling her this. Was she trying to get Audrey to tell their grandfather? Given Cynthia’s obsessive nature, Audrey thought it was highly likely. After a moment, she began to type a reply. “Yes, that’s definitely Lillian in the photo. But I thought those two weren’t in contact anymore. Why would she send the child over to him? Has she considered how Dennis feels about this?” Her tone was crafted to sound like she was defending her brother, laced with a hint of disapproval for the arrangement. Cynthia was delighted when she read the message. She replied eagerly, “Audrey, do you remember what I told you the other day? That child’s connection to the Smith family will never be broken. In this situation, Dennis is bound to be the one who gets hurt. He’s the pride of your family, and Grandpa Williams adores him. It would break his heart if he knew about this.” Audrey was now certain. Cynthia really wanted her to be the one to speak up. Feigning indignation, she typed, “You’re right, this is going too far! And after Dennis has been so good to her!” Then, she added a touch of hesitation. “But… we can’t let Grandpa find out. He’d be so angry. You know how old he is, and he has a bit of a temper. If he found out, it would be bad for his health…” Seeing her hesitation, Cynthia pounced. “But Audrey, a little anger now is better than a lot of heartbreak later. Look at the photo, see how close that father and daughter look? Their bond will only grow stronger. What if Camila goes back to him someday? Then Dennis will be the one who gets hurt!” Audrey pretended to be helpless. “Then… what should I do?” Seeing her fall step by step into her trap, Cynthia was ecstatic. “I think you should tell Grandpa Williams the truth,” she urged. “It’s better to rip the band-aid off. This is for Dennis’s own good, and for Grandpa’s too.” But Audrey feigned fear. “I can’t… I don’t dare. Let’s just drop it, okay?” “It’s okay,” Cynthia quickly replied. “If you’re scared, I can go with you. Audrey, you want your brother Dennis to be happy, right? Since we both want the same thing, you should listen to me. How about… tomorrow? We can go to the Williams estate together?” Her tone was full of excitement and impatience. Audrey looked at the message, a playful, cunning glint in her eyes. The fish has taken the bait! It was time, she thought, for some strong medicine. She replied with feigned gratitude. “If it’s not too much trouble for you, Nancy, then of course!” “Of course it’s not! We grew up together!” Cynthia was overjoyed that she had agreed. A sheltered little princess was so easy to manipulate. With just a few words, she had turned her into an unwitting ally. After confirming the plan, Cynthia put down her phone, beaming. After tomorrow, old Mr. Williams would surely have to step in.
