A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 442 442: Stirring Up Trouble

What's more troubling is that this matter was initially covered by both the provincial and city-level TV stations, and even CCTV was deeply involved. If found to be fraudulent, it would be like dragging Koryn City's reputation through the mud.

Seeing Dirk Carter's face full of indecision.

Annie Adler suddenly dropped to her knees.

Tears gushed from her eyes.

She sobbed, "Minister Carter, I'm begging you to save Minister Genevieve... Please..."

"Comrade Annie, get up, get up..."

Dirk Carter helped her up from the ground.

Annie bit her lip, looked at Dirk Carter, and said, "Minister Carter, if you're willing to save Minister Genevieve, I'll do... anything you want."

After speaking,

She started to unbutton her coat.

Dirk Carter reached out to stop her.

Sternly he said, "Comrade Annie, I don't mean it that way. As for Comrade Genevieve's issue, I will definitely follow up. Don't worry, after all, I haven't figured everything out yet. Can you give me some time?"

Annie nodded heavily.

She said with grievance, "Minister Carter, then I'll thank you on behalf of Minister Genevieve."

"Alright, I understand."

"Then I'll leave first. It's not good if other leaders see me here."

Annie said.

After Dirk Carter nodded, Annie turned and left.

Just as Dirk Carter returned to his computer to look up the previous reports on Eladio Shelby's heroics online, Annie directly exited the Municipal Committee Building, crossed the corridor, and entered the Municipal Government Building.

The elevator stopped on the 6th floor.

Annie tidied her clothes and knocked on an office door.

"Come in."

Inside was a man's voice.

Annie pushed the door open.

The person behind the desk, upon seeing Annie, immediately stood up and approached her, grabbing her arm and asking, "How did it go?"

"It's done."

"So impressive?"

The man asked in surprise.

Annie smiled smugly and said, "Of course, my dear Councilor Morgan, how do you plan to thank me?"

The man in front of her was none other than Deputy Councilor Cornell Morgan.

Cornell Morgan beamed with joy.

Murmuring, "Things are getting interesting now. If Dirk Carter gets involved, Robert Shepherd surely won't let him off."

"What if he doesn't take action?"

Annie asked.

Cornell Morgan gave a slight smile and said, "If he doesn't act, that's even better. Do you know why Randolph Griffin reported this to him first thing in the morning?"

Annie shook her head, looking puzzled.

Cornell Morgan confidently replied, "The incident happened after Dirk Carter took office. With Genevieve's mishap, even if Dirk Carter was uninformed beforehand, as the head, he must bear responsibility. If Dirk Carter has any sense, he'll see through Randolph Griffin's intentions. He has no choice but to act. If he easily takes the fall for someone else this time, will he still have a foothold in Koryn City in the future?"

Cornell Morgan made a valid point.

As the head, the primary task is to establish authority.

New officials bring three fires.

If these three fires aren't lit, but instead, receive three buckets of cold water, where is the respect?

The timing was perfect.

With Dirk Carter's arrival, and under Michael Hall's instigation, he became a major threat to Cornell Morgan. He originally didn't know how to deal with Dirk Carter, but now the internal organization department's timely incident provided the perfect opportunity.

Randolph Griffin's goal was to make Dirk Carter take the blame.

And Cornell Morgan clearly saw through it.

In these circumstances, if he didn't act to muddy the waters, he wouldn't be doing himself justice.

His goal was simple: to present the truth to Dirk Carter, forcing him to act. Once he does, he will inevitably confront the internal organization department, and then things will get interesting.

With a click,

Cornell Morgan locked the office door.

Turning around, he looked at Annie and said, "Next, I must properly reward our hero."

As he spoke,

he unbuttoned Annie's suit jacket.

"You're terrible."

Annie playfully demurred.

Her slender fingers, through Cornell Morgan's trousers, rubbed between his legs.

Cornell Morgan unbuttoned her shirt, pulling it aside. The two mounds, wrapped snugly, were revealed.

He didn't bother with the bra.

Pulling it down directly,

the two white bunnies revealed themselves.

Cornell Morgan pressed Annie onto the sofa, his mouth moving over the mounds.

Annie closed her eyes, getting lost in the moment.

Simultaneously,

Cornell Morgan's hands weren't idle.

They traveled down Annie's thighs, slowly venturing further.

Finally, reaching the mysterious place, massaging the shape outlined by the thin panties.

Under such teasing,

Annie couldn't help but coo.

"Such a naughty girl, already so wet."

Cornell Morgan's fingers felt the moisture and commented lecherously.

"The path's never swept for guests, but today opens just for you. How long has it been since you've touched me? If I'm not a bit flirty, you'll just focus on those outside floozies."

Annie said in a tone of grievance.

Cornell Morgan swiftly removed his trousers.

Then he pushed Annie's tight skirt up to her waist.

In one swift motion, he pulled down her tiny panties.

He separated her legs.

Saying, "Ah, acting like a grieved wife, alright, alright, I'll comfort you today, satisfied?"

Annie's hands proactively spread the butterfly's wings, urging Cornell Morgan, "Morgan, come in quickly."

Cornell Morgan looked smug.

Ordered, "Call me Daddy, call and I'll enter."

"Daddy come in, Daddy quickly come in..."

Truly shameless.

Without thinking, Annie softly called out.

Cornell Morgan, also impatient, aimed and entered with a thrust.

After all, it's an office.

Annie still tried hard to control her volume.

Even so, the entire room filled with licentious sounds, as the two changed positions, splashing in the sea of desires, entangled...

As they indulged in ecstasy,

on Dirk Carter's side, he had finished reviewing the reports about Eladio Shelby's bravery.

He picked up the phone on the desk, dialing the number of the office director, Brady Young.

A few minutes later, Brady Young hurriedly knocked on Dirk Carter's office door.

"Minister Carter, did you call for me?"

Brady Young respectfully inquired.

Dirk Carter nodded and asked, "Has there been any feedback from the police about Minister Genevieve's issue?"

Brady Young shook his head and said, "Not yet. As soon as there is news from the police, I'll notify you, Minister Carter."

"Alright, since there's no news yet, we can't just sit around. Arrange for some people to go out for an investigation with me."

Brady Young immediately took out a notebook and asked, "Where would you like to go, sir? I'll arrange it."

Dirk Carter stood up, looking at the map of Koryn City hanging on the wall.

He casually pointed a finger.

He said, "Let's go to Blackstone Town…"

Brady Young was about to write it down, but upon hearing the name, he shuddered and asked, "Blackstone Town?"

"Why, can't we?"

Dirk Carter asked in return.
