“Sounds like… that might work.”
“So basically, if ying the martyr gets results, we might as well do it. Let’s just say we’re taking one for the boss.<b>” </b>
It was more than just helping the boss.
If this really worked, the rest of thepany would probably give them an award in appreciation.

The bodyguards acknowledged and left. On the way, their minds kept spinning, and a concrete n quickly took shape.
At this moment, Dawn had just arrived at the office, unaware that a piece of news aimed straight at her was about to surface.
As she passed through the office area, Dawn saw that the desks that had been reassigned were already returned to their original
upants.
She entered her office.
Mason followed behind and knocked.
“Ms. West.”
“Come in.”
“Okay.” Mason closed the door and walked to the desk, speaking calmly. “Jennifer reported everything to Mr. West right away. He probably didn’t say anything.”
If he had, Jennifer wouldn’t still be here.
“Doesn’t matter what he says.”
Dawn turned on herputer. Her expression was so neutral that it was almost cold. “He won’t kick me out of Stonewarden Group. Based on that alone, a lot of things have to be done my way.”
Mason nodded.
Silence hung for a while.
Then he asked in a low voice, “Ms. West, have you really thought this through?”
Dawn paused. Natural light from outside fell through her thick hair, casting shifting light and shadow across her face.
After a long moment, she opened her work software.
“What’s there to hesitate about?”
Mason lowered his gaze. His respectful tone carried a hint of concern. “I’m worried that if Mr. West notices something…”
“That’s why we need to behave for a while. Don’t let him sense anything off.”

You can’t make him suspicious.
<i>And </i>you can’t make him alert.
Once you’re <i>caught</i>, you’re just fish on a cutting board, waiting to be carved up.
Dawn’s hand on the mouse curled slightly. She said softly, “If he gives any work instructions, do as he says. But don’t stop what I asked you to investigate before.”
“Understood,” Mason answered and left.
The door closed. Dawn held the armrest and slowly spun her chair. The clouds were thick. There hadn’t been much sun these past few days. The city seemed wrapped in heavy gloom, making it hard to breathe.
She stared off for a long time before finally starting her work.
Although Jennifer had done many things against the original n, her ability was undeniable.
Projects that had been stalled for days were turned around overnight without real damage, just a slight two–day dy in schedule.
“Ms. West…” After finishing her report, Jennifer looked cautiously at the woman inside. “Look, even though I did some things against <i>you </i>before, my intentions were good. Mr. West and I both wanted you to grow a bit more. Be the bigger person and don’t hold it against me, okay?”
It sounded like an apology, but she deliberately mentioned Vincent.
As if to say that everything she did was because Vincent told her to.
Dawn smiled faintly and didn’t call her out. “Do I look like someone who holds grudges? Don’t worry. I know why you came to Crestavia. You have your difficulties. I won’t hold it against you.”
Jennifer let out a breath. “That’s really great.”
“But…”
As the tone shifted, Jennifer’s expression stiffened. The trace of mockery at Dawn’s lips vanished in an instant. Her voice stayed calm. “<i>You </i>need to work hard. Otherwise, I’ll have plenty of reasons to send you back to Meriax at any time.”
“Of course! Mr. West sent me here to help you. Whatever you need, just tell me.”
“Alright.”
Dawn looked away. “Get back to work.”
Jennifer answered and left. As she nced at Dawn, a sh of sharpness slipped through, so fast that it felt like an illusion.
It was almost time. Just as Dawn was about to shut down herputer and leave, her phone rang abruptly, vibrating against the desk. She picked it up. It was Anna calling.
“Dawn!”
Anna’s excited voice burst out the moment the call connected. “Have you heard about it?”
Dawn was confused. “Heard about what?”

“Well… about Ethan being sick!”

Anna’s voice sounded tense, like she was hiding somewhere. “I was at an event with you–know–who just now and overheard people talking.
“They said it’s still a secret. The Jacksons are keeping it quiet, but privately they’ve already contacted several internationally renowned experts. They didn’t say what illness it is… but it sounded pretty serious.”
Dawn’s gaze fixed on a single point, slowly losing focus.
For a brief moment, she felt like she couldn’t even breathe.
She couldn’t hear what Anna was saying anymore.
<i>Sick</i><i>? </i>
Someone <i>like </i><i>Ethan</i><i>–</i>how could he be <i>sick</i><i>? </i>
“Dawn? Dawn?”
Anna didn’t hear her respond and called out several times. “Answer me, okay? I really just got anxious and thought of asking you first. Don’t scare me like this.”
