“So what are you still worried about?” Dawn asked.
“My concern is…” Christian’s unfathomable gaze locked onto Dawn like a savage beast fixated on its prey.

“Something went missing from my office. And today, the only people who went to the factory were you and Roxanne. So tell me, Ms. Porter, shouldn’t you help me think this through?”
Dawn’s hand at her side clenched instinctively, but her expression did not change.
“Mr. Hoffman thinks I stole something from you?”
“I didn’t say that.”
Christian stood up and looked down at her, pacing back and forth as he examined her. “I just can’t figure this out. Normally, no one can get into my office. So why did something go missing on the very day you two went there?”
“Maybe it was just a coincidence, or maybe it was one of the factory employees,” Dawn replied calmly.
“Mhm. That actually sounds reasonable.”
Dawn lifted her chin and met his gaze without flinching. “If you really think it has something to do with us, then you can call the police and let them handle it.”
Christian stopped in his tracks and narrowed his eyes. “Are you threatening me?”
“No. I’m giving you a suggestion.”
Dawn finally steadied herself and continued, “Didn’t you just say you wanted me to help you think of a solution?”
She had figured it out. This bastard was most likely bluffing.
And <i>no </i>matter what, this was something she could never admit to.
Once it was confirmed, with Christian’s ruthless nature, he would never let them off easily.
He stared at her. Turbulence seemed to churn violently in his eyes before slowly twisting into a sinister smile.
He raised his hand and wiped his mouth, looking even more agitated than before.
“If it wasn’t you … then it was her. It had to be one of you. No. That’s not right.”
Christian seemed trapped in his own logic, his voice low and frantic as he muttered to himself. “You two aren’t that close. She didn’t say you did it. Then it must be her. That bitch.”
Enraged, he hurled the ornament in his hand. It loudly struck a ss bottle and shattered, the fragments scattering <b>across </b><b>the </b>floor.

In an instant, the room seemed to sink under a heavy gloom. Christian’s bloodthirsty pressure crashed down on Dawn like a mountain.
A thinyer of sweat formed at her temple. There was nowhere to retreat.
“So what exactly did Mr. Hoffman lose?” Dawn asked.
Her voice was still steady. She dug her nails into her palm and stared straight back at him without fear. “Or is it that you can’t find anyone to take the me, so you’re forcing it onto me?”
“Are you saying you never went into my office today?”
“So what if I did? And so what if I didn’t?” Dawn shot back.
If he had nothing to hide, why was he so afraid?
A faint curve lifted at the corner of Dawn’s mouth as she focused all her attention. “Mr. Hoffman, does it really matter to argue with me about this right now? You lost something. The priority should be finding it. You can have the police search my room.”
Christian’s nerves were stretched to the breaking point. He could not tell what was real anymore.
But one thing was certain. No one was supposed to touch anything in his office.
Even a one–in–a–million risk was uneptable.
He dragged a hand through his hair and tore off his tie.
At that moment, it was like a monster in a tailored suit had finally lost its disguise and revealed its snarling true face.
“The police won’t being,” he said, his vicious stare never leaving Dawn. “And I don’t believe a word you say either. Roxanne already pushed everything onto you. You think a few casual sentences will settle this?”
Impossible.
He had to get an answer. Tonight.
Christian had carved out his position in Hedonia through more than just luck.
He was suspicious, ruthless, and decisive.
He would rather kill the wrong person than let the right one go.
“So what do you want?” Dawn asked.
Her eyes were red. Christian hade far too suddenly. She had thought that no matter what, it would at least be tomorrow. It was
a miscalction. She had neither prepared nor left herself an escape.
Mason was handling the evidence. Right now, there was only one person she could rely on.
Ethan.
“What do I want…” Christian repeated softly, as if asking himself.
A momentter, his eyes hardened, and he pulled his belt from his waist.

“What are you doing?”

Dawn tried to stand, but two bodyguards mmed their hands down on her shoulders and forced her back into the seat. She could
not move.
“I actually didn’t want to do anything to you. Really.” Christian’s breathing was heavy. He braced his hands on either side of the chair, looking no different from a rabid animal.
“But if you want to walk out of here in <i>one </i>piece, you’d better tell me everything that happened at noon. Every detail. Ms. Porter, don’t think <i>you </i>covered your tracks perfectly. If I didn’t have at least some proof, would I be here talking to you? Hm?”
