Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1116

“The Lee family?” Aaron’s eyes widened. “Are you saying they might have something to do with Ms. Davis’s kidnapping?”

Dennis’s expression turned cold. “Not necessarily. At least, I hope they’re not that stupid.”

The two families had been close for generations. Dennis’s grandfather used to trust the Lees completely.

Aaron got the message. “Got it. I’ll make sure my team moves carefully.” In his mind, he lit a row of candles for the Lee family. If they were involved, one of Cabinda’s top families was about to go down fast.

With the kidnapping case closing in on a main suspect, Dennis shifted gears. “What’s happening with Professor Keri?”

Aaron straightened up, all business now. “Our people have already reached his second layer of contacts. If nothing unexpected happens, we’ll see Professor Keri in person next time.”

Dennis looked pleased but didn’t forget about the other complications. “Has Jordan Smith tried anything lately?” he asked.

Aaron paused for a moment. “Our surveillance team says Jordan is also trying to get close to the Professor. Honestly, he’s got some skills. There’s a good chance he could find a way in, maybe even get to Professor Keri before Brown does.”

Dennis frowned, clearly frustrated by Jordan Smith’s persistence. Everything had been going well so far. The last thing he needed was some idiot messing things up.

“Feed him some fake intel,” Dennis said, his voice low. “Send him off in the wrong direction. I don’t want Jordan Smith anywhere near Professor Keri or his people. We can’t afford any more outsiders involved. Once we have the Professor, we bring him straight home.”

“Understood.”

“On it.”

Aaron quickly returned with the files. Since it was late, Dennis sent him off to rest and brought the documents back to his room. He didn’t like leaving Camila alone for too long.

When Dennis walked in with the files, Camila looked up, curious. “What’s all that?”

She knew him well enough to know he almost never brought work into the bedroom.

Dennis smiled and pulled her into his arms, settling her on his lap. “Want to go through it with me?” he asked, his voice gentle. “It’s all the info we have on Professor Keri.” Then he filled her in on everything Aaron had just reported.
