Swapping a Broken Heart for a New Start novel Chapter 280

Camila Davis finished reading the file, her eyes lingering on the words for a few silent seconds before her mind drifted to The Collins Group.

She didn’t even need to Google them. Everybody knew The Collins Group.

The richest family in Cabinda.

Always somewhere at the very top of Forbes’ global rich list.

Camila was stunned.

She’d suspected before that Mr. Williams was probably not your average Joe, but this? This was on a whole other level.

Just his connections in the military were intimidating enough, but to find out he was also a Collins? That was almost too much to process.

For a moment, Camila felt like she’d been living in a different universe from him all along.

The receptionist didn’t even blink. “Of course, ma’am. May I have your name and a way to contact you?” She slid over a notepad.

Camila, feeling lightheaded, scribbled down her info without much thought and hurried out of the hotel.

Ugh. Too long.

Feeling awful, she shuffled over to a pillar near the entrance and slumped against it, just trying to catch her breath.

Inside the hotel, the receptionist went straight to the ballroom with Camila’s gift.

Dennis Williams was surprised to be handed a box. “Who’s this from?”
