Chapter 77
Dawson glanced at jamie, who immediately stepped forward with a full glass of red wine, offering it to fritney.
Though Jamie wore a polite and almost overly fiendly smile, Britney found him just as terrifying a Pruton
Almost on instinct, she took the glas
Het licked back to Dawson
The moment their gazes met, the flinched and quickly looked away. Het voke inemided. “T. 1 was wrong. Y–TOLL_
“Want me to do it?” Dawson’s expression remained unreadable.
Britney clenched her jaw, then skrbe raised the glass of rod wise and poured it over her expensive pink com.
After the splash, the caretly handed the glass back to Jamie, her manner so polite it was almost an apology.
Jamie took it without a word, and xitney forced a teaful smile at Dawson. “You.. You go ahead and get back to work 1. I’m leaving” Bon Dawson’s expression didn’t change
Britney began to tremble. The pressure was unbearable, and she couldn’t take it anymore. She gave up, turned on her barel, and can.
Serena stood frozen in shock. As Briney fed, she quickly grabbed jacket from a nearby bodyguard and rushed after her, wrapping it around her shoulders.
The two of them hurried to the car together.
With a loud thud the car door slammed shut and locked.
The engine roared to life, and the cat sped off, only coming to a stop a block away
Do you want to sell Damien about it?” Serena asked.
Britney had always exaggerated Dawson’s scariness, but | ving seen him just now, Satun finally understood why. His presence alone carried unspoken authority and power thar brooled no
Autumn struck Serena as nothing short of incredible. How did she even get along with someone like that? Wasn’t she afraid?
Briney’s face barned pale, and her heart was raring.
She wanted to complain, but if anyone looked into it, they’d see that she had provoked Autumn first.
Sure, she could lie, but Dawson wasn’t Damien One phone call to tank from him, and she’d be done for. And with Dimes clearly siding with Autumn, who was now entirely ignoring her, her situation was even more precarious
And Dawson? He was far more intimidating now than he ever was when they were kids.
Britney’s fear only intensified!
hile grabbed Serena’s harul, her eyes briming with tears. “Serena, tell me. Am I really going to be completely powerless against Autumn from now on Being splashed with red wine was one thing she could brush that off. But the idea of constantly living in fear of Autumn’s shadow was what truly booke Britney Even the thought of it was unbearable.
Didn’t Dualen tell her to sign? Aurum’s crazy about him, she wouldn’t dare go against him. She definitely quir, and then everything will return to normal!“ A flicker of hope it up in Brney’s yes. ‘You’is right, you’re right! Autum will resign. Damien warned her, after all, I just got unbacky today and ran into Dawson!
“Don’t worry.” Serena sald grach, trying to soothe her
baby took a damp bewath and tried to calm down Clasping her hands together, the ked up al pleaded, “Oh please, God, you have to protect me. Dawson not go to Hank with this, of
Hank had mellowed out over the years, but he was unstri.se messed up, she’d be sent to the Caldwell residence for a week to collect on her actions, which basically meant being locked up and not allowed to step four plude. It was recillerent from being in pakison
Burney would go crazy it she couldn’t leave the house for a single day. The thought was unbearable,
Please, God, l’im begging yout
Serena watched her friend’s parts and grily said, “Just praying won’t be enough. You need to be more proactive, or God won’t hear you.”
“You’re right” Bonney’s eyes lit up as she grabbed at plane and called the Pearsons “That high school charity project M. Pearson mentioned earlies?, Britney Caldwell, will personally
donate ten million dollara!”
After hanging up, Britney finally deb a lot more at ease.
A deep breathi escapedley, and her teases hardened into a cruelancer.
“Autin“. I’m waiting for your tution.”
Orice Damsoni was no longer Autain’s, he’d have no reason to defend her, and then she’d love nothing to bear.
Meanstule, a thought napped at Semna. Why did the old Autumn always seem so indifferent?
