Obedience No More He's the One I Deserved novel Chapter 172

"You ... "

Sydney didn't expect Dawn to be so cold. Her face twisted with anger. "Austin took care of you all these years, and you don't even worry about him?"

"What's the point of my worrying about him?" Dawn didn't want to waste time with her. Her voice stayed calm. "Besides, if he won't answer you, that just proves he doesn't want to. Can't you see that?"

...

"I'm busy. I don't have time to argue with you. Do whatever you want."

Dawn had barely turned to leave when Sydney suddenly snapped. She rushed forward like a madwoman, yanked Dawn's hair, and shouted, "Can't I see that? You're right! I'll never be as shameless as you! Since you talk like that, you must know where Austin is, right? Tell me! Where is he?"

Caught off guard, Dawn almost stumbled, but she quickly reacted. She grabbed Sydney's arm and shoved her hard, sending her crashing to the floor.

"If you're sick, go see a doctor. Don't lose it here!"

Sydney ignored the pain. She pushed herself up and blocked Dawn's path, her eyes red as she sneered. "If you don't tell me where Austin is, I won't let you leave today!"

Dawn looked at her with pity and disgust.

Is Austin really the only reason this woman existed?

Loving someone to this extent was just twisted.

She sighed. "I don't know where he is. And it's none of my business. You're asking the wrong person."

"You ... " Sydney froze mid-sentence. Her eyes caught on the faint purple mark near Dawn's collarbone. Her breath hitched. She raised her hand and swung at Dawn. "I knew it! You're nothing but a cheap slut! Getting that close to your own uncle? I'll teach you a lesson!"

The slap was about to land when something sharp flashed in Dawn's eyes. She caught Sydney's wrist mid-air. "Did you really think you could push me around so easily every time?"

Sydney's face drained of color. "You ... you ... "

"What?"

Dawn shoved her away. Sydney staggered back like a kite with its string cut, landing hard on the couch.

When she looked up again, her hatred was naked in her eyes. "Dawn, you'll die a horrible death!"

"Let's wait and see," she spat. "I'll tell everyone what you and Austin have been doing. Don't you want fame? Don't you want to be a jewelry designer? Once your reputation's ruined, let's see who still buys your work!"

Sydney's words were vile, but Dawn's face stayed blank. She stepped closer, one slow step at a time.
