Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 121

She still hadn’t figured out why someone else got to cut the birthday cake. The confusion was written all over her little face.

Jordan Smith didn’t spare her a single glance. He just kept slicing up the cake, handing out big frosted pieces to his parents, and even to Sandra Taylor.

Sandra, of course, was practically glowing with smugness, though she wore that fake “I’m so understanding” smile as she walked over to Camila Davis. “Camila, honey, today’s not just Lillian’s birthday—it’s the day you became a mom. You should have the first slice.”

Camila heard the mockery buried in Sandra’s eyes. The insult hit her like a slap.

Parading the mistress around was bad enough, but this—humiliating Lillian, her daughter, in front of everyone?

Jordan Smith—how could he?

How dare he!

“Sarah, would you hold Lillian for me?” Camila’s voice shook, but she forced herself to keep it steady.

Sarah Brown looked just as furious, and she clearly guessed what Camila was about to do. She scooped up little Lillian and stepped back.

Camila’s anger boiled over. She glared at Jordan. “If you never meant to actually celebrate Lillian’s birthday, then none of us need this cake. No one’s eating it!”

She strode over, grabbed the dessert cart, and shoved it with all her strength.

There was a loud crash—the towering four-tier cake hit the floor, frosting and fondant exploding everywhere. The Smith family, Sandra and her son included, were splattered in buttercream.

The guests gasped. No one could believe anyone would cause a scene at a Smith family party. Eyes widened, mouths fell open.

The Smiths themselves looked like they’d been struck by lightning.

Barbara Jones shrieked, “Camila Davis, have you lost your mind?!”

Camila’s eyes flashed dangerously. Maybe she did look crazy. Maybe she looked like a woman unhinged. But she didn’t care.
