Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 226

A couple of small-time goons? Dennis Williams couldn’t even be bothered to give them a second thought.

He spoke up, voice cool and indifferent. “No need. Just let them go with a warning. Tell them if they show up again, they’ll disappear for good.”

“Got it,” Kevin replied, nodding before making himself scarce.

Larry Adams, watching this go down, couldn’t help but press, “You know who’s been tailing you?”

Dennis set his towel down on the armrest, looking completely unfazed as he nodded.

Larry’s eyebrows shot up. “Who is it? They got a death wish or something? And you’re not even gonna do anything? Man, do you even realize how special your position is?”

Aaron piped up, putting two and two together. “Don’t tell me it’s Smith? He’s still pissed about that whole thing with Ms. Davis, right? Guy never lets anything go.”

“Wait, hold up, what’d I miss? This has something to do with Ms. Davis?” Larry’s curiosity was instantly piqued.

Aaron was about to give him the short version, but just then, Dennis’s phone rang.

Dennis raised a hand, cutting off the two of them, and answered, “Mr. Williams.”

It didn’t take long for the elder Mr. Williams’s booming, slightly exasperated voice to come through the line. “You still remember I’m your father, huh? I was starting to think you only cared about your work and forgot about the family.”

Dennis arched a brow, his tone smooth. “Dad. Weren’t you the one who always said, ‘Country comes first, family comes second?’”

That shut the old man up for a beat. Then he grumbled, “Sure, I said that, but does that mean I get to see you, what, twice a year? Don’t think I don’t know you’ve had fewer assignments lately, yet you’re still hiding out in Harrisburg. What’s so great about that town, anyway? You can’t even come home for a game of chess?”
