A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 500 - 500

The Leopard Cat stepped forward, and without knowing what it was, waved something and the rope was cut.

Sister Hua dropped down, just caught by The Leopard Cat.

"Dirk Carter, you're doomed, you're doomed, you have no idea what you've done..."

Boone Jacobson painfully climbed up from the ground.

At that moment.

Sister Hua had already put on her clothes.

Pointing at Boone Jacobson, she said, "It was him who got Cornell Morgan killed."

Dirk Carter shivered.

He walked up to Boone Jacobson.

Seeing Dirk Carter approach step by step, Boone Jacobson used both hands and feet to back away, finally reaching the edge of the wall; he couldn't retreat any further.

Dirk Carter squatted down and asked, "Why don't you tell me how Cornell Morgan died?"

"I won't tell you, I won't tell you, even if you kill me, I won't..."

The words were very resolute.

But before they finished speaking.

The Leopard Cat stepped forward and plunged a piece of glass shard into Boone Jacobson's thigh.

Boone Jacobson couldn't help but scream miserably.

He kept taking deep breaths.

"Speak."

The Leopard Cat said grimly.

Boone Jacobson still tried to endure.

But he didn't know how ruthless The Leopard Cat could be; seeing that she didn't shoot, the shard in her hand began twisting, blood gushing from the thigh, the pain unbearable.

"Speak, speak, speak, I'll talk, I'll say everything..."

Finally, he couldn't hold out.

Boone Jacobson said with a trembling voice.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's quite a bit too violent."

Arlo Yarbrough said, looking at Boone Jacobson's miserable state.

The Leopard Cat discarded the shard and said, "What are you afraid of, you're the doctor, treat it."

"I'm an orthopedist, what does it have to do with me?"

Arlo Yarbrough rolled her eyes at her.

The Leopard Cat gave an 'oh', lifted her foot, and made as if to kick Boone Jacobson's thigh.

Arlo Yarbrough grabbed her hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Breaking his bone, then you'll have a use for your skills."

Their dialogue, with its matching tune, scared Boone Jacobson into trembling, grabbing Dirk Carter's arm and saying, "Minister Carter, save me, save me; I'll talk, I'll tell you whatever you want to know, don't let them hurt me..."

"Alright then, let's begin."

Dirk Carter pulled over a chair and sat down in front of Boone Jacobson, and over the next period, Boone Jacobson stammered and stumbled over the words as he told the whole story.

The story is still centered around Sister Hua.

When Sister Hua was just about to hand Fridolin Golding and his wife over to Cornell Morgan, Jeff Hughes found Boone Jacobson and told him that instead of being manipulated by Sister Hua, it would be better to take charge of his own destiny.

His plan was simple, to directly eliminate Cornell Morgan on top of Sister Hua's plan.

The purpose of doing this was to disrupt the entire political situation in Koryn City.

With Cornell Morgan's death, the district secretary position would become vacant.

Originally, Sister Hua's design was to "frame" Robert Shepherd, but after Cornell Morgan's death, Robert Shepherd would surely suffer severe backlash from Duncan Linden, thus Robert Shepherd would either be dead or crippled.

The two factions that used to oppose each other would instantly collapse.

He planned to seize the remnants of the two factions, expand his own power, and then he could break free from Sister Hua's control.

"So how did you get it done?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Boone Jacobson said, "During this time, Cornell Morgan had been humiliating Geraldine; we were aware of this process. As the humiliation intensified, we knew Geraldine was having difficulty holding up, so we placed a dagger in their room. Even if Geraldine didn't act, we would send someone to kill Cornell Morgan during his sleep and pin it on Geraldine. Luckily, Geraldine did act, saving us the trouble."

"Why did you have to kill Cornell Morgan; even if he didn't die, couldn't you have toppled him?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Boone Jacobson said, "Sec... Secretary Hughes said that Duncan Linden had Cornell Morgan's back; he... he was also afraid Robert Shepherd's strength wasn't enough; if... if they failed to press against Cornell Morgan, then the plan would become complicated. Killing him ensured all these plans would be smoothly carried out, with no unexpected incidents."

Ruthless!

Indeed, ruthless!

Dirk Carter truly underestimated Jeff Hughes.

To know, Jeff Hughes was very loved by the public in Koryn City, coming from a poor family, carrying an inherent affinity, he could never have imagined the frightening consequences when an honest person becomes greedy.

"Then what about Sister Hua? What do you plan to do?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Boone Jacobson glanced at Sister Hua standing not far away.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Secretary Hughes intends that she knows too many secrets about us, she cannot live."

The words 'cannot live.'

Also made Sister Hua shiver.

She now realized, had Dirk Carter arrived a moment later, she might have been buried in some corner that no one would ever know.

The cause of this tragic result turned out to be herself.

After all, it was the demon she had personally "raised."

At this very moment.

All the truths had been revealed.

But why was Dirk Carter here in the first place?

It started from Sister Hua being taken away.

In the eyes of Jeff Hughes and Boone Jacobson, Sister Hua had no one in Koryn City to turn to, so while taking her back, they also let down their guard.

Sister Hua thought carefully but couldn't find anyone to help her.

At the last moment, unexpectedly, the name Dirk Carter popped into her mind.

The person she was hell-bent on killing.

She secretly sent Dirk Carter a text message, providing the license plate of the car she was in.

Just after she completed this and deleted the message record, her phone was confiscated by Boone Jacobson's people.

While suffering "abuse," she was hoping Dirk Carter would appear.

Until the very last moment, she had given up hope altogether.

Who would have thought, Dirk Carter actually came.

Unavoidably somewhat grateful, finally she made the right choice.

Otherwise, she would now be a lonely ghost.

A few minutes later.

Boone Jacobson was taken away.

Arlo Yarbrough and The Leopard Cat also went out to handle follow-up matters.

After all, Boone Jacobson had quite a few clues that could still be dug out.

Dirk Carter sat on the chair, Sister Hua sat on the bed, and they both stared at each other.

"Why did you choose me?"

Dirk Carter suddenly asked.

Sister Hua let out a long, deep breath and said, "I don't know, just felt you would come."

"Then what's next?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Sister Hua paused and said, "You saved my life, so naturally, our grudge is settled, from now on, I'll give up any thought of killing you."

"Sister Hua really did a good business there, did you ever consider that if I hadn't saved you, our grudge would still be settled, comparatively, I'm the one at a loss."

Dirk Carter said.

Sister Hua raised her head.

Looking at Dirk Carter, she hesitantly asked, "Then what do you want?"

Dirk Carter thought for a moment and said, "I'm a person who likes gossip, so why don't you tell me why you left Benson Caldwell back then, this request isn't too much, right?"
