As dawn broke, a sense of confusion hung in the air, and Dawn found herself grappling with the pieces of a puzzle that refused to fit together. “If he’s already stated that, then our only option is to confront the manager directly. We’ll need to interview them separately. Perhaps we can uncover a slip-up,” she suggested, her voice steady despite the uncertainty swirling in her mind.

Tony opened his mouth to respond, hesitated, and then finally nodded, “Okay.”

He turned on his heel and walked away, the weight of his thoughts heavy on his shoulders. If it weren’t for his concern about alarming Dawn, he would have resorted to more aggressive tactics long ago. The polite inquiries and methodical checks felt like a slow crawl towards the truth, and he couldn’t shake the feeling that they were spinning their wheels. How long would it take for the real story to surface?

Yet, Tony was a man who adhered to the rules, executing his duties without a hint of complaint.

To his surprise, things unfolded more smoothly than he had anticipated.

1.

The following day, the story told by that man aligned perfectly with the manager’s account, mirroring it word for word.

It was almost too neat, too convenient, casting a shadow of doubt over its authenticity. Dawn was still mulling over her next move when Daniel returned, flanked by a group of men.

“What brings you here?” she asked, her tone guarded.

Daniel flashed a charming smile, the corners of his lips curling upward. “Why the defensiveness, Ms. Porter?”

He gestured towards the gifts the men were carrying, their presence imposing yet oddly ceremonial. “Now that the truth has surfaced, our company is committed to ensuring that justice is served. We also intend to extend our apologies to the families of the workers as a gesture of goodwill.”

Dawn locked her gaze onto his dark eyes, which seemed murky and inscrutable, like a bottomless abyss holding secrets she couldn’t fathom.

A moment of silence stretched between them, heavy with unspoken words.

Finally, she offered a half-hearted smile. “Well, I appreciate your efforts, Mr. Brown.”

“Not a problem at all. It’s my responsibility,” he replied, his smile hardening behind his glasses, making it all the more difficult to trust him.

Without another word, he brushed past Dawn and strode into the yard.

Margareth, who had been listening from a distance, felt her composure shatter like glass. She sank into a chair, tears streaming down her face, unable to hold back her grief any longer.

“Margareth!” Dawn exclaimed, rushing to her side, gently steadying her and rubbing her back in a comforting gesture.

Daniel removed his glasses, his expression shifting to one of genuine sorrow. “My condolences.”

This time, they weren’t ushered out.

Margareth, her eyes bloodshot and brimming with anguish, turned to Dawn and muttered, “That manager—I swear I’ll make him pay.”

If he was found guilty on multiple charges, he could very well spend the rest of his life behind bars.

If he truly was the killer, perhaps this would finally bring some solace to Ivan’s restless spirit.

It was as if the energy that once radiated from her had suddenly faded, like a tightly wound string that had been released.

A wave of sadness washed over Dawn, and she enveloped Margareth in her arms. “The loved ones we’ve lost would want us to live our lives fully. Please, take care of yourself.”

“Of course,” Margareth said, patting Dawn’s back gently. “I’m not going anywhere just yet.”

“I promised I’d finish that entire series for you. Just me, though, so it might take a little longer. Don’t be too impatient with an old lady like me.”

Dawn exhaled softly, a smile breaking through her somber mood. “If you need assistance, I can send someone to help. I can manage it too.”

“No.”

Margareth shook her head firmly. “I’m not accustomed to how you young people operate…”

“Come on, let’s go! If we linger any longer, it’ll be dark before we manage to leave.”

Dawn grabbed her luggage, stepping outside while glancing back every few steps. Margareth waved, her smile bittersweet. As Dawn climbed into the car, her eyes stung with unshed tears, her heart heavy with the weight of their parting.

Some people leave an indelible mark on our lives, even in a short time, as profound as family.

Dawn contemplated that once she sorted out the company affairs, she could bring Ethan along on her next visit.

Little did she know that this farewell would be the last.

Margareth had signed the contract, and the rest could be handled by others. After completing her work at the company, Dawn stepped outside and spotted a woman leaning against a striking red sports car.
