Chapter 600 The Proof
Silence fell.
Dawn pressed her lips together and said nothing.
This man was no longer normal.
Seeing her like this, Christian erupted, swearing violently before holding out his hand toward the bodyguard.
The bodyguard looked at him, realized what he meant, and then quickly handed over the tablet.
“Look, take a good look. This is what happens when you don’t cooperate with me,” Christian said harshly.
He grabbed Dawn’s chin hard and forced her head up.

On the screen, Roxanne was pinned against a desk, her body covered in injuries, her clothes torn and disheveled. A man stood behind her. What he was doing was clear without needing exnation.
Christian stood directly in front of her, filming with his phone while demanding to know what she had done and why she had betrayed him.
If her answer displeased him, a pnded across her face.
Dawn had never seen Roxanne like this.
Even during her worst mental breakdowns, she had never looked like this. She looked like a shattered doll, her face bruised and streaked with tears, as if nothing remained but despair.
Dawn did not like Roxanne.
But what had happened today involved her.
Seeing Roxanne like that felt like someone had clenched Dawn’s heart in a fist, making it hard to breathe.
“You…” Dawn spoke, her voice so hoarse it barely sounded like her own. She paused to steady herself before continuing. “You actually did this to her? What did she even do to deserve this? Christian, you’re an animal.”
He clenched his jaw, grinding his teeth, but he did not seem bothered by the insult.
“What did she do? Betraying me wasn’t enough?” he snapped.
That afternoon, he had personally caught that woman messing with hisputer.
If that wasn’t suspicious, what was?
Roxanne could not withstand interrogation.
It did not take long before she confessed. She admitted that she had taken Dawn to the factory that afternoon, but because she was afraid he would overthink it, she had gone back to delete the surveince footage.
Normally, no one dared enter Christian’s office. No one would ever imagine that his office was connected to the <b>factory’s </b>surveince system, so there had been no cloud backup.

Dawn turned her face away, her eyes burning red.
In a low, strained voice, she asked, “Where is she now?”
“Oh? You still have the nerve to care about her?” Christian sneered and forced her face back toward him. He was smiling, but the expression was demonic. “Weren’t you two on bad terms? If I let those men use her until she died, wouldn’t that be doing you a favor?”
A wave of nausea surged through Dawn’s chest. She gagged twice, her face drained of all color.
Christian was very pleased with that reaction.
He turned and sat down in a chair a bodyguard had brought over.
“So, are you ready to talk now?” he said calmly.
He crossed his legs, confidence written all over his face, as if everything were already under his control. “Ms. Porter, logically speaking, you’re the person in charge of Stonewarden Group, so I should treat you with some courtesy. But since you’re on my turf, you follow my rules.”
Dawn’s face was icy. Cold sweat slid down her delicate jaw.
“I’ve said everything I needed to say, believe it or don’t,” she replied.
She looked up at Christian with open mockery. “The reason you treated Roxanne like that and are now forcing me here is simple. You just want to hear the answer you already decided on. So what do you want to hear? That we really stole something from you?”
She let out a soft, bitterugh. “You don’t even know what you lost. Otherwise you wouldn’t be pushing this so hard. But if you really want that answer, I can y along.”
The muscles in Christian’s face twitched. The agitation in his blood was almost out of control.
Because he realized Dawn was right.
He was never going to let them go.
Once the seed of suspicion had been nted, nothing they said would ever be enough.
“I see,” he said slowly, rolling his neck as his joints cracked. “Then that makes things troublesome. Your investment hasn’te through yet. If you die, you really think they’ll still listen to me?”
Hearing that, Dawn almostughed.
What kind of demon was this? Even at a moment like this, he still wanted her money first, then her life.
“Doesn’t matter anymore.”
Christian stretched the belt in his hands. “My things can’t leak out. Once you’re dead, Stonewarden Group will just send someone else to take over here.”
Just as he looped the belt around Dawn’s neck, the door was kicked open with tremendous force. Ethan’s tall figure strode in.

The breath trapped in Dawn’s chest finally released. The moment she saw him, all her fear seemed to settle.
Ethan’s gaze was sharp as a de, locked onto the belt only inches from Dawn’s neck.
His throat tightened, and he forced himself to stay calm. “Christian. Let her go.”
“You think I’m stupid?” Christian sneered, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Ethan.

“I already looked into it. You two have had a thing before, and even aftering to Hedonia, you were still sneaking around. If let her go, I’m finished.”
Without drawing attention, Dawn shook her head slightly at Ethan.
Christian waspletely unstable now. Nothing anyone said would get through to him.
At this point, calling the police was the only option.
Ethan’s expression barely changed, but his eyes were rimmed red. He spoke with restraint in his voice. “Mr. Hoffman, what you heard were just rumors. The truth is, Ms. West and I cut ties long ago. If you don’t believe me, ask any employee at Jackson Group. They all know.”
