Chapter 569 To the Police Station

“We’ve been on this call for half an hour. That’s very much not sick of you,” Ethan said, voice even. “But I need to get to the precinct and figure out what’s going on. You should shower, get some sleep, and ask your husband about it tomorrow.”
Tara wasn’t irrational. She’d already vented most of her anger. Her earlier rage had cooled down.
“My husband? Please. I already told you I’m divorcing him.”
She muttered that under her breath and ended the call.
The station was still about a mile and a half away. The light up ahead turned red. Ethan stepped on the brake and pressed his fingers against his aching temple.
He called Oliver to check in on Dawn.
“Mrs. Jackson had a few bites of dinner. She’s upstairs resting now.”
“She didn’t say anything?”
“No.”
“How’s she doing?”
“She seems okay.” Oliver paused. “But she asked if you’d eaten. She’s really worried about you.”
If she really cared, that would mean something.
Ethan gave a bitter smile and didn’t answer.
A few minutester, he pulled into the station parking lot. The lighted badge above the building caught his eye, and his expression
darkened.
Tonight<i>, </i>this all <i>ends</i>.
Tony had everything arranged. Thewyer was already waiting inside. As soon as Ethan stepped through the door, Tony walked over fast.
“Mr. Jackson, sir.”
“Where are they?<i>” </i>
“They’re inside.”
Tony nodded toward the meeting room and lowered his voice. “Ms. West’s assistant andwyer are here too. Looks like they brought proof. Mr. West’s probably toast.”
Once this kind of scandal hit, there was no saving face.
Stonewarden Group was about to turn over.
Ethan’s face stayed calm. His voice turned sharp. “Go get the details. If Vincent’s attorney starts squawking, stir it up.”

“You want me to…”
“Don’t you still have what I asked you to dig up?”
Tony caught on right away and headed off.
Ethan had been investigating Vincent for a while. He hadn’t found anything tying him to Dawn by blood, but he had uncovered plenty else.
Vincent had been skirting around Meriax’s gray zones for years. His list of shady dealings was endless.
Since he had businesses at home as well, he’d naturally brought this dirty tactics here too. Maybe he could dodge trouble overseas, but here? He was asking for it.
Tony had enough evidence to bury him ten times over
Five minutes passed.
A cop walked out from one of the interview rooms.
“Hello, Mr. Jackson.”
He was well–known in corporate circles. The officer recognized him and kept things polite. “We’ve gone over your father’s situation Everything checks out. Just sign this and you’re free to go.”
Ethan’s brow tensed. “Everything checks out?”
“Yes.”
The officer gave him a strange look, unsure why he seemed bothered by good news.
“He handed over some evidence too. We appreciate the cooperation.”
Ethan didn’t respond
He turned and walked toward the meeting room.
<b>Will </b><b>was </b>still seated inside. He had on a charcoal suit, the top two buttons undone. His hair, usually tidy, was a mess.
The man looked drained. Nothing like the sharp,posed figure Ethan remembered.
He heard the door open and looked up.
when he saw who it was, he gave a strained smile.
“Ethan. You came<i>? </i>
Ethan’s jaw tightened. He shut the door behind him and stepped inside.
‘m only gonna ask once. What happened back then? Why does Dawn hate you so much?”
Will opened his mouth but couldn’t speak. Maybe it really was that hard to say.
He never thought he’d have to face his son like this.

What happened all those years ago?
It had been so long ago, but it didn’t change the truth. He was at fault.

“Your mother and I go way back. She was gorgeous even in college. Smart too. She yed instruments, painted, spoke multiplenguages. A woman like that? Of course people noticed her.
“Guys lined up for her. I was one of them… but in the end, she chose Horace.”
Will looked up. His eyes were bloodshot. His face looked worn down by the years.
“That’s the full story.”
Short. Clean.
“Believe it or not, I never crossed any lines. I always stayed in the friend zone.”
Ethan sat down across from him. His eyes stayed locked on Will. “Then why does Dawn hate you?”
“Because I knew what Vera went through … and I didn’t lift a damn finger.”
Will’s voice dropped low.
Every word hit hard. If he could go back, he wouldn’t stand by and do nothing. He wouldn’t have run overseas after it all fell apart.
He ran his hands through his hair and gave a hollowugh. “She trusted me. Told me everything. Treated me like a friend. And I …”
