Chapter 566 Cold–blooded Man


    If the only person who knew the truth disappeared, then there would be <i>no </i>one left to prove what he’d done.


    “You’re hard to kill<b>… </b>no. It’s my daughter who’s just too damn smart-”


    Dawn gritted her teeth and cut him off. “I’m not your daughter!”


    “Oh? Then what do you want to be?”


    s


    Vincent’s eyes narrowed. Sweat ran down his face. His crooked smile twisted into something dark. “Or maybe you want to be what your mother was to me?”


    “Shut the hell up!”


    Before she could get another word out, a figure charged in and yanked Vincent up by the cor. A fist mmed straight into his jaw.


    Then another. And another.


    The heavy sound of knuckles hitting flesh echoed through the room.


    “Ethan!” Will snapped out of it and rushed forward. He pulled Ethan back with both arms. “You’re gonna kill him! Don’t give that bastard what he wants. He’s not worth it!”


    Ethan’s fists were red and raw. His chest rose and fell with rage.


    Vincent’s face was already bruised and bloodied, but he keptughing anyway.


    “Come on! Hit me again!


    “Mywyer’s filing the paperwork right now. You’ve got no evidence. None of you can do a damn thing to me.”


    He <i>looked </i>proud. Like he really believed they couldn’t touch him.


    The stab wound in his shoulder wasn’t fatal, but the blood kept seeping through his shirt. His skin looked pale and mmy.


    Dawn stared at him with cold eyes.


    Then she turned around.


    Mason was standing behind her. He nodded quietly.


    Before they came in, he’d already called the cops and handed off everything they had. The timing should’ve lined up by now.


    Vincent’s voice kept ringing out behind her, but Dawn felt her whole body sink with exhaustion.


    She had never wanted that much.


    At first, she just wanted a simple life with Ethan.


    Then she told herself it didn’t matter who she ended up with. If she could just live in peace, maybe that would be enough.


    But life never yed fair.

    Vincent had paid a therapist to mess with her mind. He made sure she couldn’t stop thinking about her mother.


    Then he showed her those awful videos.


    He turned her grief into an obsession for revenge.


    But the deeper she dug, the more everything crumbled.


    None of it was real.


    s


    Even her life had been a lie. Someone had scripted every chapter for her. Everything she ever cared about had been used and twisted.


    Tears rolled down her cheeks, sliding to her chin and falling without a sound.


    She looked empty. Like someone had reached inside her and taken everything.


    She didn’t speak. She just walked out.


    Mason followed close behind her.


    Back inside the room, Ethan spotted the open door. He moved to go after her. But two bodyguards stepped into his path.


    “Mr. Jackson, Ms. West doesn’t want to be disturbed.”


    “Get out of my way.”


    ‘Apologies, sir.”


    Donald stepped in, having just finished dealing with thest of Vincent’s men. His tone was calm, but the look in his eyes was sharp. “Ms. West clearly wants no more ties with you. Why keep chasing her, Mr. Jackson?”


    Ethan recognized him. He couldn’t believe this man now worked for Dawn. Even more shocking–he’d just taken down a whole oom of trained thugs without <i>so </i>much as a scratch.


    Tony had joined the fight earlier too. Now, his shirt was torn and blood was smeared on his arm. His usualzy attitude was gone. His voice dropped low<i>. </i>“Go after Mrs. Jackson. Leave the rest to us.”


    The dim light carved shadows across Ethan’s face. He didn’t answer. His eyes looked hollow and dangerous, like staring into a dark


    unnel with no end.


    The tension thickened.


    Then Ethan cracked his knuckles.


    He asked quietly, “Where did she go?”


    Donald answered without flinching. “I don’t know. But if Ms. West wants to see you again, she’ll find her way back.”


    Ethan swallowed hard. His chest felt like it might explode.


    Of course he knew that,


    But after everything they’d been through, he couldn’t let her walk away again.

    “Take Vincent to the station,” he told Tony.


    Then he looked at his father.

    They hadn’t seen each other in years. And this was how they met again. Ethan pressed his lips together. His voice sounded rough. “You need to help the investigation. Say everything you know.”


    Will lowered his head. His whole body seemed drenched in regret.


    He let out a hoarse breath.


    “This should’ve ended a long time ago.”


    Years of running couldn’t erase the truth. It was time to face it.


    Right then, sirens wailed from outside. Dawn had nned everything ahead of time. Donald just had to handle the cleanup.


    She went home.


    Micah was slouched on the couch, glued to his game. When he looked up and saw her standing frozen in the doorway, he jolted like someone had poured <i>ice </i>water down his back.


    He scrambled to hide his phone.


    “What the hell, Dawn? Can’t even y a game now?<i>” </i>


    Dawn gave him a soft smile and walked over to sit beside him.


    “I put this apartment in your name. It’s not Vincent’s money. I made it from my investments over the past two years. But you still need to figure out your future. You-”


    Micah cut her off with a scowl. “What the hell are you saying? You sound like you’re about to disappear. Don’t you dare. If
