Chapter 505 Something Was Missing
Whether she would use Cindy was still unclear.
Dawn took a deep breath.

“I… I’m leaving now. Take good care of yourself. If you need anything, you can contact me. If you don’t want to see me, you can reach my assistant instead.”
She had nned to find Sadie through Cindy, but now it seemed the n wouldn’t work.
And suddenly, she didn’t want to do it
anymore.
After leaving the hotel, Mason looked at her red eyes and asked worriedly, “Ms. Porter?”
“I’m fine.” She lifted a finger and wiped her eye. Her voice was still hoarse. “Watch where she’s going and give her a ride. Also, give her some money.”
“Alright. Then you…”
“I’ll take a cab.”
Dawn forced a small smile and walked downstairs.
There was no chance left with Cindy. If she wanted to find Sadie, she would have to try another way.

Dawn got into the car and looked at the scenery sliding past the window, lost in thought.
Not long after she returned to the office, Victor came in to report on work. In less than a month, he had learned almost everything about thepany, and most of the work was now on his shoulders.
After signing the papers, Dawn put down her
pen
and looked up at him.
“Can I ask you a couple of questions?”
Victor stayed calm. “Of course.”
She asked, “Back then, did you work for Daniel first, or Jonathan first?”

“Mr. Curran first,” Victor answered.
<i>So </i>it’s Jonathan <i>first</i><i>. </i>
s
Dawn nced at him. She didn’t expect that after all this time, he still showed that man the same respect. <i>Mr. </i>Curran, <i>huh</i>?
Looking rxed, she slowly twirled the pen in her hand and asked in a casual tone, “How much money did Daniel give you to make you work for him?”
Victor frowned and stayed silent.
That silence could mean at least two things.
First, he really did take money, and he didn’t want to say it.
Second, he wasn’t paid with money at all–maybe he was offered something else, or he was threatened.
Dawn smiled. “It’s fine if you don’t want to answer. That’s not what I really want to know. What I want to ask is this–what do you know about the connection between Daniel and Lucas?”
Victor answered quickly this time. “I don’t know.”
He said, “I was only told to give him information about you while you were with Mr. Curran, and whether you were still in contact with Mr. Jackson. Other than that, he didn’t tell me anything.”
Knowing how careful Daniel was, that made sense.
Dawn nodded. “Alright. You can go.”
After he left, she sank back into her office chair and closed her eyes.

Dawn closed her eyes. She felt like she was missing something very important. Every time she got close to the truth, it was like thick fog appeared and blocked her view.
Suddenly, she remembered what Vincent once said, “Back then, your mom and I loved each other, but many people tried to stop us. You may find it hard to imagine, but Dawn…
“I just want you to remember this–people are the mostplicated thing in the world. Many

people who seem kind and gentle may be the ones who push you into the dark. What happened to me and your mom is the best warning.”

Dawn felt like she had reached a dead end. If she wanted the truth, she could only wait to meet that person.
Her mind suddenly tightened, like a string being pulled. A cold feeling shed past and was
gone.
At noon, Mason came back and handed Dawn a piece of paper.
She paused. “She’s gone?”
“Yes. Ms. Swanson went back to Meriax. She asked me to give this to you before boarding the ne.”
On the paper was her mother’s address.
Dawn swiped a hand down her face. “Did she say anything else?”
“Ms. Swanson is almost cut off from her mother. They haven’t spoken even once in all this time, so she isn’t sure if her mother still lives there. She said we’d have to try our luck. And…”
Mason looked at the woman’s pale face and finished the sentence for her.
“She said not to contact her again.”
“Okay.”
Dawn clenched the note in her hand, then suddenly rxed her grip and handed it back to him. “Check this address. We’ll go there tomorrow.”
At six thirty, Ethan drove over to pick her up.
Dawn came downstairs around the same time. She opened the passenger door, then stopped.
A huge bouquet of white rosesy on the seat, filling the car with a soft scent.
She couldn’t stop herself from smiling. “Why did you suddenly buy flowers?”
Ethan said, “I had a feeling that Ms. Porter needed a bouquet today. Do you like them?”
<i>“</i>Of course I do. Thank you, Mr. Jackson.” Dawn picked up the flowers and held them close. She lowered her head and smelled them–they were very fresh. Then she turned and kissed him on the cheek. “So where are we going now?”

“The usual ce.”

With her current condition, staying in a ce like that for too long wasn’t a good idea.
Dawn pressed her lips together, then turned her gaze <i>to </i>the window and said nothing.

They arrived soon. It was the same group as always–Alex, Brogan<b>, </b>and Alice–each with a different style. Together, they were the most powerful and hard–to–deal–with families in Northville.
