Chapter 198 Going to Trifton
He switched his phone back to the home screen and dialed an overseas number.
“Help me look into someone.”
“Who?”

“Joe Kerrigan. I want details–his connections, what he’s been up totely, whether he’s left Meriax.”
There was a pause on the other end before a cool voice replied, “The Jacksons and he had some ties, but that was thest generation. Why are you checking on him?”
Ethan said tly, “I don’t need a reason. One more thing–see if he’s ever had dealings with the Porters in Trifton.”
So it really was because of a woman.
The man on the other end chuckled, rare for him. “Ethan, even you have days like this.”
Ethan hung up without a second thought and sent a message to Tony.
From everything that had happened recently, it felt like someone was slowly reaching into Dawn’s life. And that note–boldly warning her not to marry …
Why?
They were already married—no random threat could derail that.
Still, Dawn’s safety had toe first. Another kidnapping was out of the question.
Ethan told Tony to arrange bodyguards through Dreammaker Studios, and from tomorrow, personally drive Dawn.
Tony asked, “So basically, I’m turning into Ms. Porter’s assistant? Boss, what will you do without me?”
Ethan’s voice was icy. “You think that’s funny?”
“Not funny. I’ll take care of it.”
When Dawn heard, she did not object. The only downside was that Tony would have to juggle both tasks–driving her every day and handling his regr work.

Days passed peacefully for more than ten days, and Tara had almost everything packed. The family sat down to finalize their trip back to Trifton.
She had gifts prepared for everyone, except Austin.
“Dawn, your Uncle Austin doesn’t seem that much older than you two. I really don’t know what he likes. What should I bring?”
What should she bring?
At this point, no matter what they gave Austin, he probably would not be satisfied.
Dawn stayed quiet for a moment before smiling. “Mrs. Jackson, you’ve already done enough. Let Ethan and me handle his gift.”
“Alright, you young folks will know better anyway.”
Relieved, Tara went back to her room to finish packing.
With Ethan still at the office, Dawn quickly organized what she needed, then sat down on the couch, lost in thought.
Something told her this trip would not go smoothly.
Herst few encounters with Austin had all ended badly.
Would he ever ept her marrying Ethan?
Whether he did or not, the fact was set in stone.
“What are you thinking about?” Ethan’s voice came suddenly. He was already standing beside her, looking down.
Dawn tilted her head up. “How long have you been back?”
He checked his watch. “Three minutes.”
“Oh.”
She pressed her lips together, then mentioned the gift for Austin. “What do you think would be appropriate?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes slightly, raised a brow. “Leave it to me.”

Since he said that, Dawn did not worry about it further.
With Tara booking their tickets for the next day, Dawn wrapped up her work early and submitted her leave request to HR. <fn112a> Original content can be found at find{n}ovel</fn112a>
Janice teased her, “Thepany’s basically yours, do you really need to be so proper about it?”
Dawn shot her a nce. “Rules keep things in line. People are already whispering that I only got here through connections. I don’t mind, buting and going as I please? Unless…
“Unless what?”
“Unless thispany truly belongs to me.”
But it was not hers–not yet.
She could rise higher by leaning on Ethan’s resources, but she did not have the right to just sit back and enjoy it.
Janice only half understood, but nodded anyway. “Well, I hope the trip goes smoothly.”
Dawn sighed deeply. Smooth? Maybe. But with Austin and Sydney around, some drama was inevitable.
The next morning, they left for the airport.
Will, pressed for time, would meet them in Trifton directly.
The ne cut through thick clouds, opening into a pure, blue sky beyond the windows, sunlight pouring in.
Three hourster, theynded in Trifton.
As they stepped off the ne, Tara drew in a deep breath.
“Trifton doesn’t feel too cold, but the damp chill is real. Dawn, keep your coat on.”
“Okay.”
Just as Dawn was about to pull her hand out of her gloves, Ethan turned her around.
He zipped her coat, pulled up her hood.
Bundled head to toe in white, she looked like a fluffy little bear.

Ethan, dressed in dark tonesa ck overcoat, straight–cut cks that showed his tall, lean frame—stood beside her, exuding calm strength.
They wereplete opposites: she, simple and pure, he, deep and restrained.
But today, he seemed different.
Dawn stared for two seconds, then let him take her hand and lead her out.
