Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1098

When Lillian’s name came up, Vivien’s eyes brightened. “Oh, I almost forgot. The main gifts aren’t ready yet, but I did pick out some cute dresses and little presents for Lillian. Will you take them back for her?”

Camila smiled at the thought. There was no way she could say no. She took the bag from Vivien, then headed out to the car with Dennis. They left for the capital together.

Instead of checking into a hotel, they went straight to Dennis’s villa. It was private and much safer than any hotel.

After they’d settled in, Aaron arrived to give Dennis an update. “Everything’s set for tonight. Our informant has told them that Ms. Davis is locked up in the basement prison at the Red Spider stronghold. They’ll show up there tonight. Also, our team will use their contacts this evening to buy the special drug from Professor Keri’s side.”

Dennis nodded, looking pleased with how things were going. “And they haven’t gotten suspicious?”

Aaron shook his head. “Not so far. We told them we’re part of an underground group called the Sanguine Covenant from the Golden Triangle. It’s a complicated organization, so they won’t be able to check us out easily. We’re just not sure how fast we can get close to Professor Keri. It’ll take a bit more time.”

Dennis didn’t seem too worried. “That’s all right. Just make sure we get in touch with him without any mistakes.”

“Understood,” Aaron said. He left to take care of the rest.

Meanwhile, Camila had just finished treating RedFox’s leg. As she stepped out of his room, her phone started to ring. The number was unfamiliar, but it was a domestic call.

She frowned, wondering who would be calling her from home with a number she didn’t recognize. Without thinking too much, she picked up.

Deep down, Jordan wished she could just forget everything bad about him, so maybe they could start over. But he knew that was impossible. Dennis Williams was just too strong, too decisive. He’d taken Camila and left, giving Jordan no chance at all.

Still, he couldn’t help hoping. Maybe, just maybe, Camila would change her mind.

Camila listened, her face unreadable. She felt nothing but a cool distance between them. “I appreciate your offer,” she said, her voice flat, “but I don’t need your help. Dennis will look after me.”

“Kaston isn’t simple,” Jordan said, his voice tense. “The drug’s origin is tied to Professor Keri, and he’s wanted worldwide. Dennis might not be able to do this alone. If we work together, we’d have a better shot. I’m not giving up, Camila. Wait for me.”
