Years of pressure had already broken Roxanne’s spirit. On top of all that, Vincent had spent a long time manipting her mind, slowly making her doubt herself. Ultimately, Roxanne experienced a condition simr to Stockholm Syndrome.
She knew Vincent was a bad man. He was strict with her. If she made even a small mistake, he would yell at her or hurt her.
She hated him.
But at the same time, she also depended on him.
Without Vincent, she wouldn’t have been able to raise Anna. She wouldn’t have a sessful career.
Vincent was family to her, despite also pushed her straight into hell.
Living in that twisted situation, she finally walked onto a road she could nevere back from.
Ethan looked into her eyes. He understood where her pain came from.
He raised his other hand and gently patted her head.
“It’s over now.”
Right then, Mason came over to give an update.
When he saw the tension between the two, he frowned slightly, almost too small to notice.
Dawn pulled away from Ethan’s hand, looking a little stiff. “What is it?”
“These are copies of the illegal ounting records from before and after Christian took over the factory. The originals are with the authorities. Once their investigation is done, the factory can return to Stonewarden Group management.”
Mason handed the files to her. His eyes briefly swept over Ethan. “I’ve already brought the former factory manager back. He’ll handle things from here. We can head home.”
Dawn flipped through the papers, then nodded.
“Okay. Also, have someone follow up with the police investigation. When the results are out, bring Roxanne’s body back. Give her a <i>proper </i>burial.”
Roxanne had no family left in this world.
“I helped you get what you wanted. You have to promise me one thing.”
Sadly<i>, </i>she never got to say what that condition was before everything happened.
<i>Let </i><i>this </i><i>be </i><i>my </i><i>way </i>of <i>repaying </i><i>this </i><i>favor</i>.
Mason acknowledged but didn’t leave.
Dawn frowned slightly. “Go ahead and handle your work. I’ll head back to the hotelter.”
“Alright.” Before leaving, he looked deeply at Ethan. “Thank you for your cooperation today, Mr. Jackson. Without you, the

Ethan curved his lips slightly. His deep gaze felt like it could see through anything. “It’s rightfully so, Mr. Cook. You’re wee.”
The way he stressed Mason seemed to say everything.
Mason pressed his lips together and said nothing more.
He left after that.
It was destined to be a long, unusual night. After the police finished collecting evidence, Dawn and Ethan finally left the building.
Ethan walked her back to the hotel. At the door, he called out to her. “Dawn-”
She turned around. The dim yellow hallway light stretched his shadow long behind him. His face was half in light, half in shadow. He looked the same as always, yet somehow different.
She pressed her lips together. “About tonight… thank you. Go back and get some rest.”
She closed the door.
Ethan stood outside. On the other side of the door, Dawn stood there, facing away.
Maybe they had been through too much together. Talking about love or hate now felt too simple.
Dawn didn’t know when he had left. When she woke up the next day, it was already noon. There were two unread WhatsApp messages from Ethan. She didn’t open them. She didn’t respond.
The next two days were filled with work.
On the third day, Mason booked the flight home.
“How is Roxanne?” Dawn asked.
“The Hedonia police won’t let us take the body yet. I’ve sent people to coordinate. It should be fine.”
Mason handed her a pair of headphones. “You haven’t rested well over the past two days. Try to sleep.”
Dawn hummed softly and looked up at him.
His handsome face showed clear exhaustion. Honestly, Mason had worked the hardest these past two days.
She spoke, “When we get back, take some days off. Decide how many yourself. Rest well.”
Mason frowned. “Ms. Porter … ”
“Why are you looking at me?”
Dawn smiled and leaned back, pulling the nket over herself. “I’m not some evil boss. I care about my people, okay? You’re the pir of Stonewarden Group. If you copse from exhaustion, I’ll have a lot to answer for.”
“Okay.”
Mason swallowed and lowered his eyes.

After adjusting her seat, he couldn’t hold back anymore. “Do you me me?”
“About what?”
“I provoked Mr. Jackson two days ago.”
“Provoked?”

Dawn let out a smallugh. “I didn’t notice. And honestly, business is full of open and hiddenpetition. That’s normal, right?”
She closed her eyes. Her voice gave away no emotion. “But Mason, you know me. I don’t like people interfering in my private life. Whatever is between me and Ethan, I know my limits.”
In other words, whether they were right or wrong, whether they separated or made up, that was her decision.
Mason’s long fingers curled into his palm. “I just think you deserve better.”
“I deserve what?”
Dawn opened her eyes, staring into space.
Compared to a year ago, her clear eyes were even calmer now. As if she had seen through everything, and nothing could shake her
now.
