A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 471 471: The Guilty Strike First

At this moment, Bennettson Dixon suddenly thought of someone he hadn't considered before.

That person was his elder brother, Jesse Dixon.

His affair with Mimi Hayes was unknown to his wife and children.

But there was one person who knew, and that was Jesse Dixon.

After all this time.

Dirk Carter took a different approach and started with Jesse Dixon.

Jesse Dixon was the mayor of Havenbrook Town, and he had been in that position for many years, never getting a promotion.

The reason was that there was no one to support him from the back.

Dirk Carter, as the head of the Organization Department, had control over the promotion of these officials, and if Jesse could align himself with Dirk, needless to say, he'd have hope for a promotion.

Because of this.

Under Dirk Carter's temptation, Jesse Dixon weighed his options and naturally spoke without reservation.

As for brotherhood, under the temptation of power, it wasn't that important.

He sighed deeply and asked Dirk Carter, "How did you think of starting with him, he's my own brother?"

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "No one in this world is without weaknesses, even if it's your brother. What he wants, you can't give him, but I can. Which side do you think he'll take?"

"I lost."

Bennettson Dixon's gaze instantly became dejected.

Previously, he always felt like he had no choice but to make decisions under Dirk Carter's pressure.

Now it seems.

From the very beginning, Dirk Carter had already grasped his lifeline.

In this match, he had lost fair and square.

Coming out of the police station.

Dirk Carter was in high spirits, having held back for so long, he finally won a comeback.

Just as he stretched.

Dirk Carter's phone rang.

Taking it out and seeing the number, he shivered, thinking to himself this is bad, he had forgotten about Arlo Yarbrough.

"Hey, where are you? You transferred me over and didn't come to pick me up, are you even human?"

Arlo Yarbrough shouted over the phone, clearly quite resentful.

"I'm already on my way, I'll be there soon."

Dirk Carter said.

Upon hearing this, Arlo Yarbrough's anger subsided a bit, and he said, "Hurry up, I'm waiting for you."

Was he really on the way?

Not at all.

Dirk hadn't even hailed a cab yet.

Just then, Genevieve drove her car to the entrance, and just as she parked, Dirk Carter said, "Let me drive, accompany me to pick someone up."

Genevieve didn't ask much and moved to the passenger seat directly.

Dirk Carter floored the accelerator, racing towards Rexton City Airport.

From here to the airport, it would take at least an hour and twenty minutes, but Dirk couldn't worry about that now.

"You want to transfer me to The Economic Development District?"

Genevieve suddenly asked.

Dirk Carter nodded and said, "The Economic Development District is the top priority of the Provincial Development and Reform Commission. I'll feel at ease with you as the district mayor there."

Upon hearing this, Genevieve was somewhat touched and asked, "Do you really believe in me that much?"

"I trust you. You've always been a doer. The matter of Eladio Shelby faking heroics was so dangerous, yet you handled it alone. How could I not trust you?"

Dirk Carter responded.

Genevieve's eyes reddened.

At this moment, she felt a bit emotional.

Genevieve had reached her current position by working steadfastly and had never sought any leader's favor, but Dirk Carter gave her a huge opportunity.

Reaching the district mayor's position in the Economic Development District.

Would naturally mean a bright future ahead.

Her hand slowly crawled onto Dirk Carter's crotch, with a tearing sound, she unzipped him.

Dirk Carter knew what she intended.

He smiled and asked, "What? Want some?"

Genevieve took out the big guy inside and said, "You focus on driving, I'll do my thing. We've been busy the past few days, it's time for a little relaxation."

With that, she bent down, burying her face into it...

The road that was originally quite boring was not so dull with Genevieve's "service."

Her mouth was full.

Even her hands weren't idle.

Her fingers had long climbed up the trees in the forest, stirring vigorously in the warm, moist cave, accompanied by slurping sounds, echoing all the way.

Seeing this made Dirk Carter itchy inside.

If not for being on the highway and not daring to lose focus.

He'd have pinned down Genevieve for a good indulgence.

By the time they got off the airport highway, it was already 4:30 PM.

Dirk Carter dared not delay a minute.

If he dawdled any longer, he estimated Arlo Yarbrough would have thrown a fit.

As they approached a turning point, suddenly, a jeep was speeding towards them in the wrong direction.

Dirk Carter was startled, hurriedly turned the steering wheel, and with a thud, the car bumped into the side barrier. Luckily, he braked in time, and it shouldn't be too serious.

But the jeep wasn't so lucky.

He turned in the opposite direction, and on the side was the highway's drainage ditch.

Thud.

Two wheels sank into the drainage ditch.

The car body instantly tilted down, stuck in place unable to move.

"Rescue them."

Dirk Carter said to Genevieve.

The two quickly opened the car doors and were about to run towards the jeep when the driver had already pushed open the passenger door and jumped out.

Before them stood a woman who looked to be in her twenties.

About 1.68 meters tall.

Wearing a denim jacket, with a tight-fitting top inside, her pair of round headlights were quite eye-catching, forming an extremely disproportionate contrast with her slender figure.

A pair of light blue skinny jeans below.

The wrapped long legs were straight and slender.

And judging by the shape, quite proportionate.

The woman's pink makeup, red lips, and white teeth, with extremely fair skin, had a tender and smooth feel to them.

Yet she wore a baseball cap, with a ponytail sticking out from the back of the hat, giving a neat and clean look.

"How did you drive? Do you even know how to drive?"

Before Dirk Carter could speak.

The woman started yelling at him.

Originally, considering she was a beauty, Dirk Carter could let it slide, but unexpectedly, she started blaming him first.

"No, miss, should you ask yourself if you can drive? You were driving against the traffic, okay?"

Dirk Carter said unamusedly.

The woman glanced at the arrows on the ground, her face instantly flushed, and stomped her foot, saying, "I don't care, you help me get my car out!"

Dirk Carter was speechless.

He took out his phone.

And said, "Alright, then I'll call the police."

Hearing Dirk Carter mention calling the police, the woman's face showed panic.

She snatched Dirk Carter's phone and immediately opened his car door, saying, "I won't hold it against you, but now my car can't be driven, you're responsible for taking me to the city."

"Do you have any sense of right and wrong? It's clearly your full responsibility, we haven't even asked you to pay for car repairs, and you're playing the hooligan, get out of my car!"

Genevieve was also anxious and shouted at the woman.

The woman just crossed her arms, sat in the back seat, directly closed her eyes, pretending not to hear them.

This made Genevieve furious.

She was about to reach out and drag her.

Dirk Carter stopped her and said, "Leave her, if she doesn't want to call the police, let's pick up our person first."

Having said that, the two of them got back into the car and headed straight to the airport.

By the time Dirk Carter's car arrived in front of Arlo Yarbrough, it was already getting dark outside.

As soon as Dirk got out of the car, Arlo Yarbrough, ignoring his luggage, ran over and hugged him tightly, saying with a sobbing tone, "Dirk, you're finally here, you're finally here..."

"What's with you? Are you dazed from waiting?"

Dirk Carter pushed him away and asked.

Arlo Yarbrough pretended to wipe his eyes and said, "You told me you were on your way and would be here soon, but then I waited for another hour and a half, and I thought you got into a car accident and died on the way. Now seeing you, I'm just crying tears of joy... You're not dead, it's really great you aren't dead..."

"Damn, if you want to curse me, just say it, why beat around the bush? I almost did crash and die."

Dirk Carter punched him in the chest and said angrily.

Arlo Yarbrough snorted coldly and said, "I was just teasing you, and you took it seriously? I waited so long, am I not allowed to complain a little?"

Dirk Carter grabbed his hand, brought him to the front of the car, pointed at the dent, and said, "Open your dog eyes and take a good look, did I or did I not really have a car accident?"
