Chapter 541 Where She Is
“Who exactly is threatening whom here?”
Dawn’s voice was calm. “You said it yourself. We can’t be greedy.

“I already made a concession by agreeing to let Jennifere to thepany. But don’t you think you’ve gone a little too far? From here on out, I’ll make arrangements my own way. If you don’t agree, feel free to fire me.”
After saying that, she hung up directly.
When her gaze swept over, Jennifer nearly jumped in fright.
She hadn’t expected Dawn to be this formidable. In all her time at Stonewarden Group, she’d never seen anyone dare to confront Vincent. Not even Roxanne had ever talked back.
<i>Is </i><i>this</i><i>… </i><i>the </i>confidence from <i>being </i><i>his </i><i>biological </i><i>daughter</i><i>? </i>
“Jennifer.”
“Yes, Ms. West!”
She stood up instinctively, her expression uneasy. “Ms. West, <i>you </i>know everything I did was at Mr. West’s orders. It has nothing to do with me.”
Dawn’s face was expressionless. She had <i>no </i>interest in rehashing the past.
“I’m giving <i>you </i>two days. Restore everything to how it was. Restart the projects you suspended. Put all the adjusted positions back where they were.”
Jennifer stared in shock. “Can we even do that?”
“Can’t you?”
“I–I can.”
Dawn nodded and turned to leave.
She had an appointment with her doctor today. She was going to the hospital to establish her prenatal file.
Jackson Group.
A meeting had just ended.
Ethan had been in a bad mood these past two days. Everyone was extremely cautious, yet they couldn’t help whispering among themselves.
Tony cleared his throat and warned in a low voice, “If you don’t wanna die, shut your mouths!”
“R–right.”

The speaker immediately fell silent, then leaned closer and asked, “So what’s actually going on with Mr. Jackson?”
He knew. But he didn’t dare say.
Tony tugged at the corner of his mouth. “Don’t ask stupid questions!”

After everyone left, he lifted his eyes toward the man still inside the conference room. His aura was wrapped in gloom, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.
After hesitating for a long time, he still walked in.
“Mr. Jackson.”
“Talk.”
When no answer came for a while, Ethan frowned and looked up. “Lose your voice?”
“Uh, no.” Tony scratched his head helplessly. After weighing his words, he said, “Are <i>you </i>and Mrs. Jackson just staying stuck like this? People here are talking. I don’t think this is good.”
The man’s eyes were deep. After a one–second pause, his gaze returned to theputer screen. His voice was t. “Isn’t this your job to fix?”
Tony froze.
Me<i>? </i>
“Even if I fix it, that’s just a band–aid.”
Tony studied Ethan’s expression. Seeing that he didn’t look angry, he lowered his voice. “Besides, I think this is just a misunderstanding between you and Mrs. Jackson. If you talk it out, it’ll be fine. Mrs. Jackson clearly still cares about you.”
The conference room was very quiet.
The glow of the screen reflected on the man’s face, making his expression unreadable.
After a long while, just as Tony thought he wouldn’t speak, the man’s low voice rang out again. “Go check where she is right now.”
At this moment, Dawn was sitting alone outside the OB–GYN department, waiting for the doctor inside to call her number.
Scattered around her were other expectant mothers, most apanied by their partners. Some were each on their phones. Some were quietly discussing the baby in their bellies.
The scene gave off a sudden sense of happiness.
Dawn lowered her eyes to the slip of paper in her hand and couldn’t help but curve her lips.
Before long, her number was called.
It was the same young doctor fromst time.
“So you’ve made up your mind to keep the baby?”
“Yes.”

“That’s good. But your blood sugar is a bit low. I’ll prescribe you some medicine. Take it daily along with your folic acid. And most of all—keep your mood up.”
Dawn agreed to everything and booked her next prenatal checkup.
“Alright. You can go.”
Dawn pressed her lips together and didn’t move.
The doctor noticed her hesitation and asked, “Is there something else?”
“Yes.”
Dawn lifted her eyes. “I want to ask you for a favor.”
Outside the window, the sun suddenly dimmed. It was afternoon, and the sky was brewing an unexpected heavy rain, with no telling when it would fall.
News that Dawn was at the hospital quickly reached Ethan. His brows knit tightly. “Why did she go to the hospital? What’s wrong with her?”
Tony thought, Seriously<i>? </i><i>You </i><i>don’t </i><i>even </i><i>know </i><i>that</i><i>? </i><i>What </i><i>kind </i>of <i>husband</i><i>–</i><i>uh</i><i>, </i><i>ex</i><i>–</i><i>husband</i><i>–</i><i>are </i><i>you</i><i>? </i>
Of course, he didn’t dare say that out loud.
He nodded and said, “I had someone check. Ms. Porter went to the OB–GYN department.”
<i>OB</i><i>–</i><i>GYN</i><i>? </i>
Dark shadows seemed to churn in Ethan’s eyes. It took a long time before they settled. Tony kept his eyes down, heart pounding, and cautiously asked, “Mr. Jackson … is Ms. Porter pregnant?”
The man didn’t speak. But the way his lips were pressed tightly together betrayed his emotions.
When it was time to leave work, he grabbed his car keys and left.
The office, usually full of tension<i>, </i>seemed oddly calm that afternoon. Seeing the boss leave on time, everyone looked like they’d seen a ghost.
