Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 1267

What nobody expected was that as soon as Dennis Williams got back to Cabinda, he wasted no time pulling his shares together and shutting down anyone who dared to go against him. It was swift, ruthless, and honestly, kind of impressive.

Everyone at The Collins Group already knew what NextGen Technologies could do. They had seen it with their own eyes. Meanwhile, Galen Collins was getting up there in years. He just didn’t have the energy or vision to keep up with how fast things were changing, and it showed. The Collins Group was slipping, bit by bit, every year.

NextGen Technologies, on the other hand, was thriving. Under Dennis’s leadership, it was pulling ahead and leaving the old guard in the dust. The shareholders at The Collins Group could see which way the wind was blowing. Some were already talking about backing Dennis, hoping he’d take over and turn things around.

Even Mr. Collins was starting to think maybe bringing Dennis back wasn’t such a bad idea. With the shareholders on board, it would be easy enough to make it happen. But the sad truth was, Dennis could see through all of it. He didn’t care about The Collins Group at all.

To everyone else, the Collins family was the top of the top, a name people whispered with awe. But to Dennis, it was just an extra trophy, something nice but not necessary. All the power and status the younger generation of Collins kids fought over? Dennis had already built it for himself. He didn’t need the family business. He didn’t even want it. Now, they were the ones begging him to come back.

Mr. Collins glared at Galen, his patience running thin. “This is all because of your stupid mistakes when you were young. No wonder your own son can’t stand you. Dennis is a natural. If we’d raised him here, the Collins family would still be running the show. And you… you really had to bring up that woman in front of him?”

He’d already looked into Camila Davis. He knew exactly how important she was to Dennis. But Galen, in his stupidity, just had to cross that line.

Mr. Collins let out a long sigh. Sometimes he wondered if all this wasn’t just karma catching up.

After Dennis left to live with the Williams family, none of the other young Collinses had even half his talent for business. The Collins family had always been at the top in Cabinda, but that was mainly thanks to their power and influence. The younger generation, born into comfort, turned out spoiled, entitled, all talk and no real skills. The few who seemed useful didn’t have Dennis’s guts or sharp instincts.

The Collins Group still had resources and plenty of talent, but the world was changing fast. Their industries were getting younger and more innovative every year, and the old ways just weren’t cutting it anymore. The executives at the top were out of touch. Meanwhile, NextGen Technologies kept surprising everyone, breaking new ground over and over.

Mr. Collins had to admit, he was jealous. He would have loved a piece of that market, but at this point, NextGen Technologies owned it outright. The Collins Group was always a step behind.
