Dawn had no intention of forcing Victor. “Of course, if you don’t want to work for me, this apartment is still yours. Consider it…. compensation for protecting me back then.”

She didn’t know how he’d gotten the scar on his face.

But three years ago, if Victor hadn’t shielded her, she might’ve died the moment the car plunged into the river.

“So now you’re playing the emotional card with me?”

Victor’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “I didn’t even know I was this valuable.”

“No, I’m not playing the emotional card.”

Dawn said, “I’m making you an offer.

“I already told you. There aren’t many people I can trust. If you’re willing to help me, I’ll pay you your original salary.”

She could see exactly why he was hesitating.

Time grinds down the sharp edges of a person.

“I’ve said everything I need to say. Think it over. Take a rest. I’ll head back.”

Dawn turned and took two steps when the man’s deep voice came from behind her. “Ms. West…

wait!”

She paused and turned back. “What is it?”

“I can agree to your

terms.”

Victor was breathing hard, as if crossing some invisible line in his mind. “But … I used to work for Mr. West. He-”

“He doesn’t know you’re alive.” Dawn walked back, pulled out a chair, and sat down. “And it’s been three years. Daniel wouldn’t dare tell him.”

Besides, if the truth ever came out, Daniel would throw everything away to protect himself. He definitely wouldn’t hand over his own weakness.

The news was clearly too much. Victor didn’t respond for a long time.

“Mr. Brown? Would he dare?”

“He wouldn’t. But he did.”

Dawn knew exactly what Vincent looked like in these people’s eyes–he scared them the way a cat scares a

mouse.

“I’ll have someone give you a new identity. Then we’ll prepare a medical record in secret. Even if Vincent ever finds you, we’ll just say you had amnesia back then.“:

And based on what she knew of Vincent, he wouldn’t waste much thought on a subordinate who’d disappeared years ago.

Victor fell silent again, clearly weighing every word she’d said.

Dawn didn’t rush him. She waited.

Seconds dragged by.

Finally, the man’s hoarse voice broke the silence. “Alright. I’ll follow your arrangement.”

It was more or less what Dawn expected. She stood up and held out her hand.

“Then. Mr. Surin, it’s a deal.”

“Yeah, it’s a deal.”

“I’ll have someone bring you a phone later. If you need anything, just contact me.”

“Okay.”

With everything settled, Dawn went downstairs and left.

After ending a call with Mason, she was about to order a car when her eyes happened to sweep across the

street.

A familiar black Mercedes was parked there. From this distance, she couldn’t see who was inside, but she could feel that sharp, burning stare all the same.

Dawn’s grip tightened around her phone. For a moment, she didn’t know what to do.

Why is he here?

Wait, no…

He’s been following me.

In the space of just two seconds, the car was already pulling up in front of her.

The window slid down, revealing his handsome face and those pitch–dark eyes.

“Where to?”

Dawn couldn’t deny it. Her back was slick with cold sweat.

She forced a thin smile. “I had something to take care of here. Why are you here?”

Ethan’s face was cold as he asked, word by word, “I said, where to?”

She paused. “Home.”

“Get in.”

Dawn clenched her hand, then opened the door and got in

Summer had arrived. The air–conditioning blasted cold air mind racing through every question this man might ask.

But he didn’t ask anything.

Neither of them said a single word the entire way home.

The silence inside the car was heavy, almost suffocating.

After unbuckling, neither of them got out.

In the end, Dawn couldn’t stand it anymore and asked quietly, “You don’t have anything you want to ask?”

The man turned his head. Those unfathomable eyes wrapped around her, and he threw the same question right back.

“Don’t you have anything you want to say?”

Dawn pressed her lips together. I knew it. He must’ve seen everything.

“I don’t.”

“Heh.”

The man let out a cold laugh. His voice bit like ice. “Dawn, you’re really … full of surprises.”

With that, he pushed the door open and got out.

Bang! The door slammed so hard it sounded like it might shatter.

Dawn stayed in the passenger seat, her lashes trembling from the echo.
