Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 743

Daniel stood alone in the hallway, his small frame trembling. Bruises and welts covered his skin—there was hardly an unmarked patch left.

Every time his mother suffered at the hands of that old man, Daniel became the next target. Whenever the man was in a foul mood, Daniel felt the sting of his fists.

Fear and resentment clouded Daniel’s eyes. All of this—he blamed Lillian and her mother. If not for them, Dad Jordan wouldn’t have abandoned him. They used to love him, all of them. It was all their fault. All their fault.

If anyone had seen Daniel’s face at that moment, they would have been unsettled by the darkness in his gaze. Was this really the look a child his age should have?

While Sandra Taylor was still entangled with Ableson Thompson, Jordan Smith had already slipped effortlessly into the upper crust of Cabinda society.

Sure, the scandal from his affair had stirred up quite a storm, but the Smith family remained the wealthiest in Harrisburg and one of the nation’s top dynasties. Not to mention Jordan Smith’s cunning in the business world—no amount of gossip could truly tarnish his reputation among the elite. To them, his misdeeds were merely proof of a roguish charm, nothing more.

In fact, everyone was still eager to collaborate with the Smith Group. After just a few days of public appearances, Jordan had already found his place in these social circles, thriving as if he’d always belonged.

Walter Wilson dropped by one afternoon, but since Camila Davis was swamped, she asked Sarah Brown and Larry Adams to have dinner with him instead.

Sarah, well aware of Jordan Smith’s arrival in Cabinda, could barely hide her contempt during the meal.
