“Bitch, what the hell are you so proud of?

“I’m telling you, my leaving this ce is only temporary. Dad will never truly abandon me!”
Dawn looked at her expressionlessly, showing no reaction.
Roxanne grew even more agitated. “Say something!”
Why wouldn’t she speak?
She was sick and tired of this woman pretending to be deep and unfathomable! Why was it always her losing control? Why?
“You want me to talk?” Dawn stood up unhurriedly and walked toward her.
She was also wearing heels, half a head taller than Roxanne, and when she wasn’t smiling, her presence easily overshadowed the other woman. Roxanne instinctively took a step back. “W- what are you going to do?”
“Nothing much.”
Dawn reached out and grabbed her wrist.
With a pull, the distance between them closed.
She stared at the face in front of her–not gaudy at all–and her seductive smile bloomed like a flower blossoming from hell.
“I just wanted to tell you this. The fact that I haven’t settled ounts with you doesn’t mean I have a good temper. The only reason I haven’t killed you is entirely because of Vincent. If you keep jumping around in front of me from time to time, I’ll show you exactly who the real lunatic is. Hmm?<b>” </b>
Whether three years ago or three yearster, this girl had a hand in everything.
Dawn wasn’t being magnanimous–she simply hadn’t gotten around to collecting the full debt.
But Roxanne acted as if she were afraid Dawn might forget.
Roxanne’s face went pale, her breath catching in her throat.
It took a long moment for her to recover. She struggled hard but couldn’t break free from

Dawn’s grip. “Let go of me!” she hissed.
“Sure.”

Dawn released her abruptly. Roxanne,pletely unprepared, almost fell to the floor.

Dawn looked down at the disheveled woman before her and said coldly, “Roxanne, this is thest time I’m warning you. If there’s a next time, you just wait and see whether I dare to peel your skin and fly it like a kite.”
Roxanne dug her nails into her palm, her rationality hanging by a thread. Just then, Dawn’s phone rang on the desk.
A name lit up the screen.
Vincent West.
Roxanne saw it too. Her body stiffened, eyes locked on Dawn, as if waiting to see whether she would pick up.
Dawn pressed her tongue lightly against her teeth, nced at the woman on the floor, and then, after a few seconds, hit the answer button. She even considerately turned on speakerphone.
“Hello.”
“Dawn, what are you doing?”
“In the office.”
Dawn nced at the woman copsed on the ground, then walked around the desk and sat down casually. “Did you need something?”
“Can’t I call if I don’t need anything?” Vincent’s deep, middle–aged voice held the helpless affection only elders had. He sighed. “Dawn, you can’t ignore your father just because I don’t call you. We have to build our father–daughter bond.”
“Mhm. Are you not asleep yet? Or did you just wake up?”
On the other end, silence for two seconds. Then his voice grew even lower.
“I dreamed of your mother, and then I couldn’t sleep again.”
Dawn’s attention was still on Roxanne, so she didn’t feel much toward Vincent’s emotional tone. She gave a few casual words offort, intending to hang up.

Vincent sounded a bit intentionally displeased. “You’ve only talked about me; you haven’t said how you aretely.”
Dawn couldn’t helpughing softly. “Dad, you’re really bothered by that?”
“Of course! Family ties are irrelevant on the battlefield.”
Maybe he shouldn’t put it that way.
Dawn could tell he was just trying desperately to build a bond with her. His methods might not be perfect, but his heart as a father was sincere.
She thought for a moment, then exined thepany’s current situation and briefly mentioned her uing ns.
“What do
you think?”
“Good. Very good.”
Vincent said several “good“s in a row,ughing loudly. “With how capable you are, I’m relieved. Thepany will definitely be yours in the future. It’s good to get familiar with the business early.”
After business matters, he suddenly brought up the Swansons.
“Oh, right.
“Your uncle has been living in Northville all these years. Have you kept in touch with him? I wasn’t very close with him before, but since I’ll be going back eventually, I should meet him at least. After all, he did look after you and your mother somewhat.”
At that time, mentioning Lucas made something in Dawn feel off.
She frowned. “We’ve kept in touch.”
“That’s great!”
Vincent sounded truly pleased. “When I return, you should arrange for us to meet. We should all gather properly.”
“No.”
He froze for a moment.

“Why? You don’t want me to meet him?”

Dawn shook her head, then remembered he couldn’t see her and exined aloud, “No. It’s just that my uncle is in prison right now. He probably won’t have a chance toe out.”
“I see.”
Vincent’s tone turned awkward, and he quickly changed the subject.
After a few more lines of small talk, Dawn couldn’t find anything else <i>to </i>say and ended the call herself.
When she looked up, Roxanne was still frozen in the same position as earlier.
