Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1077

Dennis Williams didn’t hesitate. His voice was low and serious as he said, “Tell Mr. Byron to start from scratch at the hospital. I want every bit of security footage from right before and after Camila disappeared.”

“Understood.” Aaron caught his meaning right away and got to work, calling Mr. Byron’s team.

At the same time, their investigation into the limping old man who’d bumped into Camila at the hospital was finally getting somewhere.

A message from Mr. Byron popped up on Dennis’s phone. “He’s not a patient. He snuck in dressed up like one.”

That wasn’t even the worst of it. Mr. Byron had also figured out who the man really was.

RedFox. One of the three leaders of the Red Spider organization.

RedFox was the only man among the three, short in stature because of a medical issue, but hands down the best at disguises. He could play any role, and on jobs, he often dressed as a woman to throw off his targets.

Dennis’s face turned stormy as he read the message. Things were getting serious.

Meanwhile, somewhere else, Camila Davis started to wake up.

She barely moved her head and a sharp pain shot through her neck. Everything came rushing back. The hospital. Someone knocking her out.

Where was she now?

She waited for the pain to dull, then took a look around. No windows. The air was thick and stale, like she was underground.

Oddly enough, the place was fancy, almost glamorous. Not far from her, a bunch of rough-looking men lounged around, playing cards. In the middle of a sofa sat a man she thought she recognized.

Wasn’t that the limping old man from the hospital?

The fear she’d felt right before passing out came roaring back. Her heart pounded, but she forced herself to breathe and think.

Was this about the car chase the other night? Were these people after her?

Her mind was still foggy when RedFox noticed she was awake.

He spoke as he pulled out a pistol and started loading bullets, one by one, painfully slow. Every click made her chest tighten.

One of the thugs nearby piped up, eyes glinting. “RedFox, she’s a real beauty. Look at that skin. Shame to waste it. Since she’s not leaving alive… maybe the boys should have a little fun first?”

He leered, waiting for RedFox to say yes.

But something snapped in RedFox’s eyes. Without a word, he pointed the gun at the thug’s head.

A shot rang out. Blood sprayed. The man’s eyes went wide, his mouth frozen in shock as he crumpled to the floor.

Every other man in the room went dead silent, frozen in place.

Camila was paralyzed, unable to move or speak.

RedFox’s eyes were cold and hard as he swept his gaze across the room. “Anyone else has thoughts like that, you’ll be next.”
