Chapter 584 She’s Back
Dawn gently pulled her close with a soft smile. “Time to go, sweetie?
“Aww…”
Dulce pouted hard. She clearly wasn’t done ying
“If you wannae back, ask Daddy to bring you next <b>time</b>, alright<b>? </b>
The little girl wrapped her arms around her mom’s neck and wouldn’t let go. She didn’t want to leave the y area or her mom’s side.
She was still in that toddler phase where emotions hit hard and fast.
A few secondster, the tears came.
Dawn’s chest tightened. She rubbed Dulce’s back and murmured, “We’lle back tomorrow, okay? You’re all sweaty. You need a little break.”
This wasn’t just about leaving. She was tired. Naptime was calling.
“Ms. West…”
Tony looked like he was walking on a tightrope. “Mr. Jackson’s done with his meeting. Are you…”
If this got outter, he wasn’t taking the heat for it.
Dawn kept swaying Dulce gently and nced at him. “You nervous?”
“No, I’m not…”
“Then stop looking like you are.”
Tony was quiet.
How the hell was he supposed to stay calm?
Dawn didn’t want anyone finding out either. If Ethan knew he’d let Dulce spend time with another woman behind his back, he was screwed
Not long after, Dulce finally nodded off in Dawn’s arms.
Her cheeks were still red from all that running around.

“You need to hold her the whole ride. If you move her even slightly, she’ll wake up. And if she doesn’t get her nap, she’ll be a handful.”
“Understood. Thanks, Ms. West… we’ll head out now.”
“Alright.”
Dawn watched them drive away. She didn’t look away right away.
Her phone rang. Mason’s voice came through, calm as ever. “Ms. West, everything’s prepped. Where are you? I’lle get you for the airport
She gave a quiet “Mm” and texted him the location.
“There’s a chance Ms. Roxanne already knows you’re leaving. Should we—”
That woman hadn’t stopped trying <i>to </i>ruin her for two years straight.
The second Vincent went down, she’d rallied his old allies and med it all on Dawn, pushing to boot her out of thepany.
Dawn didn’t care much about Stonewarden anymore.
Anyone could have it, but not Roxanne.
That woman waspletely unhinged. If she got control, it would be chaos.
Dawn leaned on the railing beside her. Dulce’s bright little smile lingered in her head. She exhaled slowly. “Mason, I’ve waited long enough. Let’s settle this.
“Let here to me. Doesn’t matter what she knows.”
“Understood.”
When the call ended, she touched the bracelet on her wrist. It looked almost exactly like the one Dulce always wore.
Mason arrived shortly after.
He got out, walked over to the passenger side, and held the door open with quiet respect. Dawn slid into the car. Up ahead, the Jackson Group building loomed.
She watched it get closer through the window until it passed. Then she turned her gaze away.

On the steps outside, Ethan walked slowly. Tony followed behind him, holding Dulce in his arms. Ethan held an umbre in one hand. His eyes kept flicking to the little girl in Tony’s arms. He didn’t rush. He stayed in sync with Tony’s slower pace.
“Mr. Jackson, should we wait until she wakes up before heading back? If she wakes up too suddenly, she might get cranky.”
Ethan checked the time. “We’re going out tonight. Need to stop by home and grab her things first. Let’s go.”
As he turned, a ck sedan rolled past him, barely a few feet away.
If he’d just nced up, he would’ve seen the woman who never left his mind sitting inside.
But he didn’t.
And the woman inside the car didn’t look his way either.
Dulce slept the whole drive. The second they pulled into the Eastcrest Regency Residence, she stirred.
Her eyes opened slowly, still groggy, then she reached her arms out. “Daddy … hold me.”
Ethan’s face softened as he took her from Tony.
“You’re up?”
Then he froze.
There was a long strand of hair caught between Dulce’s tiny fingers. A woman’s hair.
Tony saw his expression change and nearly lost it. He blurted out fast, “Mr. Jackson, I … I had a bad stomach today, so I asked one of the clerks at the mall to keep an eye on her for a bit. But I swear, it won’t happen again!”
Ethan’s eyes darkened. He didn’t say anything for a second.
Mason, standing to the side, stiffened right away
Ethan’s voice dropped. “Don’t let it.”
Tony said nothing.
Ethan carried Dulce inside. Tony didn’t breathe easy until they were gone. He dropped into the seat and yanked out his phone to send a message.
“Ms. West, I think Mr. Jackson’s starting to suspect something. You should probably stay away

from Ms. Dulce for now.”
The reply came almost immediately,
Tll be out of the country for a bit. Just keep sending me pictures of her”
<i>Out </i>of the country?
Tony blinked, then typed back quickly, “Okay, get it.”
Ever since Dulce got sent back, he’d basically be her live–in nanny. Most of his actual job duties had shifted to Oliver, while he took care of everything, kid–rted–whether Ethan was working or traveling.
