Chapter 565 Furious Dawn
s
Three nights ago, Austin asked her to meet him past midnight. He gave her a sh drive and brought up something he’d kept buried for years.
Back then, he hadn’t even turned seventeen. He was reckless, <i>too </i>confident, kind but rash, and didn’t think things through.
“He told me he was some distant rtive of yours. Said he couldn’te forward himself<b>, </b>but wanted me to bring you back to the Foster family. In return… he’d help cover ourpany’s crisis.”
School hadn’t started yet. Austin was still living at home.
He already had some idea why his dad looked exhausted every night. Osborne Group’s biggest partner had hit trouble. If the deal fell through, it would crush thepany.
Austin had questioned it. “How do you even know what’s going on with Osborne Group?”
Vincent’s answer had been smooth.
“I’ve met your dad a few times. We got along.
<i>“</i>And let’s be real, news like this spreads fast. Everyone’s already talking about how Osborne Group’s whole strategy is copsing. It’s not exactly a secret.”
Vincent kept pressuring him. “Just take care of the girl. I’ll handle the rest. I know your business partner.”
Austin already felt sorry for Dawn. He also knew his brother and sister–inw had always wanted a daughter. So he agreed to it.
<b>But </b>then Vincent added onest term.
No one else could ever know. Not a word of it.
Austin agreed.
Now that it was all out, he looked like he could barely lift his head.
“But after that night, he disappeared. I buried it. You started getting older… by the time you were seventeen, eighteen, you clung to me more and more… then he came back. Said I had to get married. Immediately.”
So Austin started seeing someone.
Sydney.
It didn’tst. They broke up after some fights, and she left the country.
He’d been relieved. What he didn’t expect was that she’d return just one yearter.
He had told himself over and over–he had to stay in line. He was just her uncle. If he let things go off track, he’d wreck both their
lives.
He forced the look in his eyes to go nk.
“Dawn, I’m sorry I waited so long to tell you.”

Maybe it was everything she’d already survived, but Dawn looked calmer than he expected. She said, “It’s fine.”
And she meant it.
No matter how it started, the Osborne family had raised her. That remained a fact.
She gripped the sh drive tighter. “What’s on this?”

From the moment he met Vincent, Austin had tried to dig into who he really was. Vincent kept a low profile, but he was the CEO of <b>a </b>majorpany. There were always cracks if you looked hard enough.
Over the years, Austin had gathered real evidence–proof of what Vincent had done.
“It’s all here.”
He held out his hand. There was a bitter look tugging at the edge of his mouth.
“Dawn, maybe I thought I knew better than I did. I made a lot of choices that ended up hurting you. So let this be me trying to make up for it.”
He wasn’t looking for forgiveness. He just wanted her to live free.
Memories turned over in her mind. Dawn lifted her gaze.
Vincent.
Just thinking that name made her jaw clench.
“You did all this for me? No, this was about control. You ruined my mom. Then you dumped all your twisted feelings for her onto me. Vincent… you’re a fucking freak.”
From the start, he tried to script her entire life.
He picked who adopted <i>her</i><i>. </i>
He tampered with every rtionship she ever had.
Then, when he felt things slipping, he staged a car crash and imed her as his own. He brainwashed her. Messed with her head.
Then he used her. Told her it was about revenge for her mom. Pushed her to go after Will.
Will really had done wrong.
He knew most of what Vera went through.
He’d sensed that someone powerful was pulling the strings, so he kept his mouth shut. But the guilt ate at him. He left the country. And after that, he never dared to get too close to Dawn.
“I just never thought you’d be this cruel to her daughter too…”
Will’s voice was cracked and hoarse as he walked toward Vincent.
Then he punched him hard across the face.

A dull thud echoed through the room. “Why?!”
<b>+5 </b>Free Coins
That question had lived in his chest for over ten years. Everything he’d bottled up–guilt, rage, regret–finally tore its way out.
Vincent didn’t flinch. Heughed instead. It was sharp and cold, like the punch hadn’t even scratched him.
“Why? What kind of dumb question is that? The strong always win.”
He stood straight and looked Will right in the eye.
“You didn’t have the guts to expose me back then. Now, all these yearster, what exactly can you do?“,
Vincent had told Dawn that Will was the one she needed to take down. That way-
She and Ethan would be enemies too. And they’d never be able to go back..
