Even after a long while , her limbs still felt numb . The assistant carefully approached . " Ms. Porter , do you want to go to the hospital and check on her ? " " I ... " Dawn pressed her dry lips together as she croaked , " I'm fine ." The assistant didn't know what had happened . By the time she arrived , all she saw was a disheveled Sydney being carried out by Austin , while the lounge was left in complete chaos . Dawn closed her eyes and took a deep breath . " I'll head back first if there's nothing else . Once Sydney finishes her check - up , please let me know , " she said with a low voice . She didn't even know how she made it home . Slumping onto the couch , Dawn rubbed her still - numb hands . How ? How did Sydney have that Virgin Mary pendant ? A sudden thought struck her and she shot up from the couch . She rushed into Austin's study and began rifling through drawers and cabinets , searching frantically . Nothing ... nothing at all . She searched every compartment , even the safe , but the familiar jewelry box was nowhere to be found . Dawn sat on the floor in a daze when the study door was suddenly flung open with force . Austin stood in the doorway , his already smoldering anger flaring at the sight of the mess she had made . Without hesitation , he grabbed her by the arm and yanked her up roughly . " How dare you throw a tantrum here ? Why don't you go and see what you've done instead ? " His grip was painfully tight , but Dawn didn't struggle at all . Her reddish eyes locked onto him as she demanded , " Where is the Virgin Mary pendant my mother left me ? " Austin froze and instinctively loosened his grip . 1/4 21:58 Sun , Sep 14 d Chapter 11 Cheering up My Fiancée " I'm asking you - where is my mother's Virgin Mary pendant ? " Dawn shouted . 82 +5 Free Coins Her sweat - dampened hair clung to her face , making her look almost deranged - like a wild animal ready to bite . Austin hadn't expected her to lose her temper like this . His gaze flickered uneasily muttered , " Why are you suddenly asking about that ? " " Suddenly ? " Dawn let out a cold laugh . " That pendant belongs to me . I left it with you because you said you were afraid I'd lose it . That was fine . But Austin , why did you give my pendant to Sydney ? Why ? " Her mother hadn't left her much , and that pendant was the only thing she could always carry with her . It was the most important keepsake . Austin had always kept it safe for her . Yet today , she had seen it with Sydney . Looking at Dawn's pale face , Austin felt an inexplicable sense of guilt . He took a deep breath but his tone was still impatient . " Sydney only borrowed it to take some pictures . She's not keeping it ." " Even if she wanted to borrow it , shouldn't you have asked for my permission first ? " Dawn thought back to the way Sydney had provocatively looked at her earlier . Sydney had known exactly what the pendant meant to her . She had flaunted it , waiting for Dawn to explode and for Austin to witness the outburst . She had succeeded . The one thing she hadn't accounted for was that Dawn no longer cared how Austin saw her . " I don't care whether you lent it or gave it away . You'd better bring it back the same way as how it left the house , Mr. Osborne . Uncle Austin , I hope you'll show me at least a little respect . " As the final word left her lips , a single tear slipped from the corner of her eye . She didn't blink as she glared at Austin for a few seconds before turning away . She had only taken one step when Austin grabbed her wrist . 2/4 21:58 Sun , Sep 14 d Chapter 11 Cheering up My Fiancée " Dawn ! 82 +5 Free Coins " It's just a pendant . Is it worth all this fuss ? If you like it so much , I can buy you an entire collection . " Sydney said she was only borrowing it and would return it soon . Besides , I was the one who agreed to lend it to her . And you - how could you be so rude as to hit her over something so trivial ? Do you have no manners at all ? " His words felt like an inescapable net , tightening around her . Dawn thought she would be heartbroken , but strangely , all she felt was numb . Apart from a brief moment of shock , there was nothing . She turned back around and pried open his fingers one by one . Her voice was steady . " My mother's belongings are irreplaceable . No amount of wealth can make up for them . And I certainly don't want them in the hands of someone I despise . " As for manners ... Uncle Austin , aren't you the one who knows best whether I have any ? " Austin's Adam's apple bobbed , but he couldn't find a single word to retort . The indifferent expression on her face was like a thorn , digging into his chest . Dawn smirked and continued , " Since Ms. Peay is injured , you should go back and take care of her , Uncle Austin . But I expect my mother's Virgin Mary pendant to be returned to me tonight . If not , I'll go and get it myself . " A vein throbbed at Austin's temple as he stared at her retreating figure . Is she threatening me ? He tugged at his collar as an inexplicable irritation crept over him . Back in her room , Dawn tossed her coat aside and flopped onto the bed . She rolled over and buried her face in the blankets . For a while , she remained motionless , but then the overwhelming feeling of injustice washed over her . " Austin ! You bastard ! " How dare you give my things away ? 3/4 21:58 Sun , Sep 14 d ...

" She wasn't just telling Ethan that - she was telling herself , too. It really wasn't a big deal . She would be leaving in just a week . Ethan had just finished a meeting and was walking through the corridor . A blonde woman from the business delegation caught up with him , tapping him lightly on the shoulder . She batted her lashes flirtatiously . " Mr. Jackson , do you have time for dinner tonight ? " Ethan offered a polite smile and gestured to his phone , signaling that he was in the middle of a call . " Sorry , my fiancée is upset . I need to find a way to cheer her up ." Dawn heard every word .
