Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 926

"You let everyone believe you two were a couple and never once denied it, allowing Sandra to flaunt her position. Your parents looked down on me and treated me like a servant! Your own brother belittled and humiliated me! And you... you just stood by and watched, treating Lillian and me with cold indifference and neglect! In the eyes of your family, my daughter and I were lower than your household staff. I honestly don't know how you have the nerve to even suggest getting back together."

Having laid everything bare, Camila felt it still wasn't enough. "We are doing very well now. Both Lillian and I love Cabinda, we love our new life. So please, stay far away from us. We don't want anything to do with the so-called Smith family, or with you. And one last thing—I have no interest in someone who is tainted, body and soul. Jordan Smith, I hope you understand that the only connection left between us is your visitation rights for Lillian. Nothing more. So... please stop bothering me. Just seeing you now is exhausting, and I don't want the man I love to have any misunderstandings."

With that, she turned to open her car door. Jordan never expected his humbled plea to be met with such a brutal tirade. Her final words, in particular, made his face darken. The anger he had been suppressing erupted.

"Camila Davis, you're with Dennis Williams, but how clean are you?" he sneered. "You were married to me, you have a child. Don't you worry that he thinks you're tainted too?"

Nathan Gates, standing nearby, immediately tried to intervene. "Sir!" It was both a plea and a warning. He was here to reconcile, so why would he say something so vile? Their relationship was already on thin ice. Now... it was probably shattered for good.

And he was right. Camila's face turned grim. Realization dawned on Jordan, and a flash of regret crossed his face, but the words were already out. He opened his mouth, trying to salvage the situation, but it was too late.

Camila stared at him with cold disgust. "Don't you dare compare me to you, Jordan. You were unfaithful during our marriage, flirting with another woman, sleeping with her. You were disloyal in body and spirit—utterly filthy. I, on the other hand, started a proper relationship after our divorce. Yes, I gave birth to Lillian, but Dennis isn't as shallow as you. He would never hold that against me. On the contrary, he treasures me, respects me, pampers me in daily life, and supports my career. He trusts my abilities and never looks down on me, always offering encouragement. And with Lillian, he is patient and loving, doing everything a father should. With him, I finally know what it feels like to be loved."

She looked down at the man in the wheelchair. "Honestly, I used to compare you to him, but I eventually realized something. You're not even worthy of being compared to him!"

Her Dennis was open and honorable. Despite being from the same elite circles, he never judged people through a distorted lens. He was reserved, yet always polite and gentle, never quick to pass judgment. Jordan was different. He was brilliant, yes, but also arrogant. Most people and things were beneath his notice. It was only after coming to Cabinda that Camila realized how blind she had been to fall in love with such a man.
