Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 378

Dawn closed her eyes and drifted into sleep.

The next morning, she went to work as usual.

The renovation project was nearly complete. The new Stonewarden Group was nothing like before–everything from the people to the environment had been completely transformed.

She called a departmental meeting to review the newly adjusted business direction. No one voiced any objections.

Back in her office, she was surprised by an unexpected visitor.

“Ms. West.”

The man adjusted his glasses and smiled politely. “Long time no see.”

Dawn narrowed her eyes slightly. “What are you doing here?”

“I’m here to help Ms. West run the company, of course.” Daniel pulled out a chair, sat down, and crossed one leg over the other like he owned the place. “What? Ms. West isn’t happy to see me?”

“Do you think I should be?”

“Naturally.”

Daniel spread his hands, raising a brow. “After all, I did save your life. That’s an undeniable fact.”

Three years ago, if he hadn’t pulled her out of that river, there would be no Dawn today. Dawn stared at him for a while before speaking flatly. “So where did you hide Victor?” Daniel looked slightly surprised by the question but quickly composed himself.

It made sense. After all, she and Victor had once faced life and death together.

Resting his arm on the chair, he twirled his fingers lazily. “No need to make it sound so harsh. ‘Hide‘ is such an ugly word. I didn’t kill him.”

He sighed. “That’s why sometimes, ignorance is bliss.”

Dawn didn’t want to waste another breath on him. She let out a short laugh and turned toward the door. “I have work to do. You can see yourself out.”

Daniel’s expression shifted, his smile fading.

“Ms. West, I didn’t come all this way just to leave.”

“You want me to have someone escort you out?”

“This was Mr. West’s order.”

Dawn pressed her lips together, her expression unreadable.

They all seemed to love using Vincent’s name to pressure her.

“But this is my territory,” she said coolly. “If I say get out, you get out. If Mr. West disagrees, he can tell me himself.”

“You-”

“Get out.”

The polite mask on Daniel’s face finally cracked. His expression hardened, and he jabbed a finger toward her. “Ms. West, you really do live up to your reputation.”

He spun around and slammed the door behind him.

Dawn let out a quiet breath but knew this wasn’t over.

By evening, Vincent called.

“Dawn, did you have an argument with Mr. Brown?”

His tone carried no anger, yet the weight of authority was unmistakable. Dawn replied evenly, “I don’t want him back in the company, Dad. Please make other arrangements.”

Vincent chuckled softly before his voice cooled. “I told him to return. Are you saying you don’t want him in the company, or are you unhappy with my decision?”

Dawn’s eyelashes trembled slightly. After a pause, she answered quietly, “You know I don’t like him. If he stays, there will only be more conflict.”

Vincent gave a vague, amused laugh.

“So you’re thinking for my sake?”

“Yes.”

“You’re so considerate. That makes me happy.” His deep voice softened, almost affectionate. “If your mother could see us now, she’d be at peace knowing how close we’ve become.”

Dawn’s hand clenched at her side, but she said nothing.

“Alright. Get some rest. I won’t keep you up.”

Vincent’s fatherly tone was perfectly performed. “Once I finish this project, I’ll take a break and come back to spend time with you. Tell me what gift you want, and I’ll bring it for you.”

“Okay,” Dawn said softly.

After hanging up, she stared out the window.

Three years ago, Daniel had dragged her from the river without notifying anyone. Instead, he flew her out of the country.

When she woke up, the first person she saw was Vincent.

He’d been gentle and kind, holding a paternity test in his hand, claiming to be her biological father.

“Don’t worry. From now on, I won’t let anyone the sky, I’ll find a way to bring them to you.”

And Vincent had kept that promise.

He found the best rehabilitation specialists in the world.

He showered her with luxury gifts.

Like any father who’d finally reunited with his lost daughter, he wanted to give her everything.

After more than 20 years on her own, it wasn’t easy for Dawn to accept a man who suddenly claimed to be her father.
