    **Chapter 274: Hard Drive**


    The moment Dawn stepped into the scene, she sensed something was off. Roxanne, usually d in stylish yet casual attire, had opted for a strikingly different look today—an industrial-style jumpsuit that hugged her figure andbat boots that added an edge to her appearance. The outfit screamed confidence, and perhaps a hint of rebellion.


    “Hey,” Roxanne greeted, her smile a blend of warmth and mischief, almost as if she were testing the waters.


    Dawn maintained herposure, her face a mask of neutrality. “Did you need something from me, Ms. West?” she replied, her tone steady but guarded.


    “Can’t I just drop by to see you if it’s nothing important?” Roxanne shot back, feigning offense while cing a hand dramatically on her forehead, as if struck by a sudden revtion.


    Dawn couldn’t help but let out a lightugh, the tension momentarily lifting. “Ms. West, you really should reconsider your career path. With your ir for theatrics, you’d be a sensation in showbiz.”


    “Really?” Roxanne’s eyes sparkled with a sincerity that surprised Dawn. “My adoptive father has said the same thing.”


    But just as quickly as that sincerity appeared, it was overshadowed by a flicker of impatience in Roxanne’s gaze. She swung open the car door, her bodynguage shifting. “Get in.”


    Dawn remained rooted to the spot, her cool demeanor unwavering.


    “Spit it out,” she urged, her eyes narrowing slightly.


    Roxanne turned to face her, momentarily taken aback, then let out a snort ofughter. “Rx! Do you really think I’m going to bite you or something?”


    With one hand resting casually on the car door, she exuded a mix of defiance and charm. “I heard you’ve been quite the diligent worker handling that olddy’s businesstely. How about I take you to see something interesting? Want toe?”


    The way she presented the invitation felt almost like a challenge.


    “Go or don’t; no pressure,” Roxanne added, her voice light and teasing.


    Dawn frowned, suspicion creeping into her thoughts. “What did you do?”


    “Didn’t do anything,” Roxanne shrugged, her smile disarming. “Just a little something regarding our employee who passed away. It’s only natural, right? So, are youing or not?”


    In the end, curiosity got the better of Dawn, and she slipped into the passenger seat.


    Roxanne might have been trying to provoke her, but Dawn couldn’t simply brush it off.


    As the Ferrari roared to life, the engine’s growl broke the stillness of the evening. The rush hour traffic had long dissipated, leaving the roads open for their reckless adventure.


    Dawn’s grip tightened around the door handle, her heart racing. “Roxanne, you can’t race in the city,” she cautioned, her voiceced with concern.


    “Hahaha,” Roxanneughed, clearly relishing this side of Dawn.


    In these moments, it was as if Dawn was allowing herself to concede, if only for a fleeting second.


    A wild glimmer ignited in Roxanne’s eyes as she shouted, “Who cares about them? If you’re scared, hold on tight, coward!”


    With that, she mmed the gas pedal down, and the red sports car shot forward, racing down the overpass like aet streaking through the night sky at an exhrating 125 miles per hour.


    When they finally arrived at their destination, Dawn found herself momentarily frozen, taking in the scene before her.


    Roxanne unbuckled her seatbelt, a gleeful grin stered across her face. “So… fun, huh?”


    Dawn stepped out, her expression nk, scanning the area. This had to be the project site where Ivan had beenboring tirelessly.


    The half-constructed skyscraper loomed before them, an eerie silhouette against the dim light, its jagged frame resembling a grotesque creature waiting to spring to life.


    Standing at the entrance, it felt as though she was gazing into an abyss, a void that threatened to swallow her whole.


    “Come on,” Roxanne urged, giving her shoulder a reassuring pat before striding ahead. “You know, I really enjoy nights like this. Everything around us is pitch ck, and somehow, it feels… safe.”


    Dawn remained silent, her mind racing as she processed Roxanne’s words.


    “What about you?” Roxanne turned back, an expectant look on her face.


    “I don’t like it,” Dawn replied curtly.


    “Don’t like it, huh?” Roxanne sighed, a hint of yful mockerycing her voice. “Kids like you, born with a silver spoon, really wouldn’t understand that feeling.”


    Dawn turned to her, noting the paleness of Roxanne’s cheeks.


    For some inexplicable reason, tonight felt different, unsettling.


    Roxanne noticed Dawn’s gaze and offered a faint smile. “Dawn, remember, we’re rivals in love. Don’t even think about falling for me.”


    Dawn was taken aback, her thoughts racing.


    This woman truly was a little unhinged.


    “Why exactly did you bring me here?” Dawn finally asked, her curiosity piqued despite her reservations.


    “You’ll see soon enough,” Roxanne replied, her voice dripping with mystery.


    Even under the cover of night, the site buzzed with activity. Workers who recognized Roxanne greeted her with respectful nods, yet she maintained her usual aloof demeanor, brushing off their familiarity.


    They stopped before a building, and Roxanne nced back, her expression triumphant. “Here we are.”


    Dawn watched as Roxanne entered the building and retrieved something that resembled a hard drive.


    “Know what this is?” Roxanne asked, her voice low and conspiratorial.


    Dawn pressed her lips together, opting for silence.


    “It doesn’t matter if you know or not,” Roxanne continued, her eyes glinting with mischief. “I called you here tonight just so you could witness… how I destroy the very thing you wanted.”


    Footsteps echoed behind them, causing Dawn’s heart to skip a beat. She turned, her pulse quickening.


    It was likely Roxanne’s assistant, d in gloves and carrying a ck bucket.


    “Rx,” Roxanne said slowly, her eyes gleaming unnaturally in the dim light. “I’m not going to hurt you. And even if I did, Ethan wouldn’t let me get away with it. I’m not stupid.”


    “But Dawn, look—”


    Before she could finish, Roxanne hurled the hard drive to the ground. The assistant immediately poured the contents of the bucket over it.


    A cloud of sizzling smoke erupted, and Dawn realized with horror that the liquid was acid.


    “Tch… that sounds nice,” Roxannemented, a smile dancing on her lips.


    “Oh, you might not know this,” she continued, her tone almost gleeful. “This hard drive contained the real cause of Ivan’s death. Now that it’s gone, I guess you could say I’ve buried him along with it.”Conclusion
