    **Chapter 352 He Must Know Something**


    The stark reality was that Roxanne had no intention of returning for Ethan; her focus was solely on Dawn. Ethan was merely an obstacle in her path, a mere afterthought in her grand design.


    Was she truly the chairwoman of the Stonewarden Group?


    It was difficult to ascertain.


    His hands stilled, a sudden tension gripping him, and he opened his eyes, his gaze sharpening with an intensity that could cut through steel. “There’s one more person we’ve overlooked.”


    His thoughts were immediately drawn to Dawn’s uncle, Lucas.


    No matter how one viewed it—whether it was the old mes of suspicion or the way he had unearthed secrets hidden by Dawn’s mother in the hills upon his return—Lucas’s demeanor did little to convince anyone of his innocence.


    Ethan exhaled slowly, his eyes fluttering shut once more as he tried to gather his thoughts. His knuckles were white from the tension of his grip, a physical manifestation of the storm brewing inside him.


    He lifted his head, his eyes darkening with a tempest of emotions.


    “Bring Lucas to me. Immediately!”


    Tony flinched at themand, hastily reaching for his phone, the urgency palpable in the air.


    Jonathan’s expression was inscrutable, shadows dancing across his features as he remained silent, waiting for the call to connect. Once the line was quiet, he spoke in a low, steady voice, “Lucas was indeed linked to that fire, but he wasn’t the mastermind behind it. I don’t believe this situation has anything to do with him.”


    Lucas wouldn’t dare to cross them. He was a sycophant, always chasing after power and influence.


    Together, Ethan and Jonathan were a force to be reckoned with, enough to instill fear in Lucas. And Trifton still held Austin, a powerful card in their hand.


    If anyone had harmed Dawn, there was no chance this case would simply fade away.


    “It doesn’t matter whether he’s involved or not. He must know something.”


    Ethan’s bloodshot eyes remained fixed on a point on the car roof, unblinking and resolute.


    This wasn’t mere logic—it was an unwavering conviction. Lucas had to possess some information.


    Ethan had exhausted every avenue avable to him.


    Jonathan’s brow furrowed, and after a moment’s pause, he cautioned, “Be careful.”


    Once the call ended, Ethan continued to stare at the ceiling, his gaze deep and unfathomable, as if searching for answers hidden in the ster above.


    “Boss…” Tony ventured, ncing nervously at the rearview mirror. “I’ve already arranged for Lucas to be brought to the vi. Should we head back now?”


    Perhaps once this matter was resolved, Ethan would finally find a moment of peace, a chance to rest his weary mind.


    “Yeah.”


    —


    After two relentless days of torrential rain, the skies finally began to clear. The oppressive dark clouds that had loomed over the city gradually dissipated, allowing rays of sunlight to pierce through the horizon, illuminating the world as if a shuffled deck of cards had finally been set right.


    Approximately forty minutester, the car rolled to a stop in front of the vi.


    Even from a distance, they could spot Lucas standing there, drenched in sweat, his demeanor betraying an anxious energy.


    As soon as Ethan stepped out, Lucas hurried over, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes and bowing low, “It’s been a while, Mr. Jackson. How can I assist you today?”


    Ethan’s gazended on Lucas’s face, cold and unreadable, as if he were assessing a piece of art rather than a man.


    “Let’s talk inside.”


    Those few words nearly sent Lucas’s legs buckling beneath him.


    Hisplexion drained of color, and his forced smile froze in ce. He could only shuffle along behind them, feeling small and awkward in their presence.


    “Why aren’t you sitting?”


    Ethan’s icy re swept over him, and Lucas flinched under the weight of it. Ethan leaned against the couch, exuding an air of silent authority that made Lucas hesitate to move.


    He wiped the sweat from his brow, forcing a nervous chuckle. “You’re too kind, Mr. Jackson. My legs are a bit stiff. I think I’ll just stand.”


    “Suit yourself.”


    Ethan didn’t contest the choice, a cold smirk ying at the corners of his lips.


    “You’ve been quite busytely, haven’t you? So busy that you didn’t even notice your only niece was in trouble.”


    “Dawn?”


    Lucas froze, his eyes widening in rm. “What happened to her?”


    Ethan remained silent, his prating gaze fixed on Lucas, observing the exaggerated reaction unfold before him.


    The search in the river had dominated the news for two days; there was no way someone glued to live updates could have missed it.


    Ethan’s silence only served to intensify Lucas’s anxiety, causing beads of sweat to form on his forehead. Finally, he stammered, “I’ve just been swamped with worktely, so I haven’t spoken to Dawn in a while. Mr. Jackson, if something has happened, please tell me!”


    Ethan leaned back on the couch, his calm yetmanding presence suggesting he was inplete control of the situation.


    “Mr. Swanson.” His voice turned frigid, slicing through the tension in the room.


    “I-I’m listening!” Lucas’s voice trembled, his head bowed low, avoiding Ethan’s piercing gaze.


    Ethan spoke deliberately, each word heavy with meaning. “Drop the act. We don’t know if Dawn is alive or not. If you truly have no idea, that’s one thing. But if you do know something and are choosing to hide it, I will ensure you are finished in Northville. Do you really want to risk that?”


    “I-I genuinely don’t know!”


    Lucas finally dared to look up, panic etched across his features. “What has happened to Dawn?”


    Ethan pressed his lips together, saying nothing, allowing the silence to stretch ufortably between them.


    The atmosphere grew thick and heavy, the air turning icy with unspoken tension.


    After a long moment, sweat trickled down the side of Lucas’s face, his throat dry as he swallowed hard. “I-I did see something. It looked like there had been a crash in Southville. But I didn’t think it was Dawn. Was it her?”


    Ethan drummed his fingers lightly on the armrest, his eyes locked on Lucas, unyielding and emotionless.


    He didn’t even flinch, as if he were watching an uninspired performance unfold before him.


    That silent stare was more intimidating than any overt threat:


    Lucas grew increasingly agitated, his eyes darting nervously, unwilling to meet Ethan’s unwavering gaze.Conclusion
