A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 557 557

"Alright, enough with the nonsense. What do you want?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Yvonne Donovan wanted to show off her skills, but she didn't expect Dirk Carter to humiliate her.

She was still fuming.

Pouting, she said, "Nothing, just messing with you on purpose."

After saying that,

she angrily got into the car.

Rolling down the window, she said to Dirk Carter, "Aren't you so capable? Walking down the mountain shouldn't be too hard for you, right?"

Dirk Carter was speechless.

If he had known this woman was so petty, he wouldn't have provoked her.

He thought Yvonne Donovan was just venting and wouldn't actually leave him behind.

Unexpectedly, she really started the car, hit the gas, and sped away.

"Damn it, they're all shrews!"

Dirk Carter muttered.

He began to miss the women in Serenity State and Riverton State.

At least they were gentle and kind, unlike the few he met in Argentum, who were all snobs.

With nowhere to go,

he figured he might as well stay on the mountaintop and watch the sunset today.

Thinking of this,

Dirk Carter glanced around and saw a large rock halfway up the mountain, which seemed like a nice spot, so he walked over there.

Meanwhile, Yvonne Donovan, who had driven away, was already somewhat regretting it.

Yvonne Donovan had a tenacious personality.

The Donovan Family was one of The Three Great Families of Argentum, but most of their influence was in the military, with no foothold in politics or business. After graduating from college, she wanted to help her family, but her father and two brothers indulged her too much to let her do anything.

She had inadvertently heard about the Houseman Family and the Hughes Family competing for Dirk Carter at the airport.

Investigated the cause and effect of what happened in Rexton City.

She thought her chance to make a contribution had come.

Determined to bring Dirk Carter over to the Donovan Family.

Upon hearing that Dirk Carter had been sent away from the Hughes Family, she intercepted him halfway without informing her father and brothers, intending to flaunt her skills and make Dirk Carter submit. But Dirk Carter wasn't having any of it, leaving her unable to leave or stay.

She angrily slapped the steering wheel.

Pouting, she said, "Dirk Carter, you bastard, what's there to be arrogant about? If you weren't of use to the Donovan Family, I wouldn't even look at a man like you."

The car crept along the mountain road like a snail.

Her eyes glued to the rearview mirror, she impatiently waited to see Dirk Carter catching up.

But the farther she drove,

Dirk Carter was nowhere to be seen, and her heart grew more restless, her resentment deeper.

Finally, unable to hold back any longer.

She found a spot to turn around and drove back to the top of the mountain.

A quick scan with her eyes.

She was dumbfounded.

Dirk Carter had disappeared.

There was only one way down the mountain.

Where did he go?

She got out of the car and walked around the mountaintop but couldn't find a trace of Dirk Carter.

She became anxious.

Given Dirk Carter's situation, she knew that him going missing alone might lead to trouble.

"Hey, young lady, looking pretty fine there. All alone on the mountaintop, aren't you feeling lonely, cold, and empty?"

Just as Yvonne Donovan was at her wit's end, a teasing voice suddenly came from behind.

She turned abruptly.

Saw four young men, each looking more lecherous than the last, closing in on her.

The four men had different hair colors.

They looked just over twenty.

Each of them exuded an air of delinquency.

Behind them were parked motorcycles, suggesting they were also here on the mountain road for drag racing.

"Get lost, don't bother me."

Already in a foul mood, Yvonne Donovan became even angrier when she saw these men, and cursed them.

The leader, a guy with dyed yellow hair and a scar on his nose, laughed heartily and said, "Oh, quite feisty, but I like a challenge."

Just as he was about to approach her,

another lackey pulled him back.

Pointing to her car,

he said, "Brother Tsai, look, her car has a military pass. We might not want to mess with her."

Brother Tsai, the yellow-haired one, smacked the lackey on the head, angrily saying, "Didn't you see the ordinary license plate? That pass is probably fake anyway. It's getting dark, nobody would show up here. What's there to be scared of?"

The lackey who got hit dared not speak again.

Brother Tsai swaggered up to Yvonne Donovan, leering at her, licked his lips, and mumbled, "Damn, this body is really something."

"Watch your mouth."

Hearing this, Yvonne Donovan shouted angrily.

Brother Tsai shamelessly said, "Young lady, with a body that good, it's meant for men to enjoy, isn't it? Whoever enjoys doesn't matter, right? Brother Tsai won't treat you poorly, accompany me for a bit, and I'll pay, okay?"

"Are you treating me like a prostitute?"

Yvonne Donovan asked.

Brother Tsai chuckled, saying, "We can skip the money too. Brother Tsai is quite mighty, I'll make sure you feel heavenly, alright?"

As he finished speaking,

he reached out to touch Yvonne Donovan's face.

With a slap,

Yvonne Donovan delivered a fierce blow to his face, stunning him completely.

At the same time, she utterly infuriated the suppressed lust in his chest.

Seeing Yvonne Donovan about to head towards the car, Brother Tsai snapped his fingers, and the other three lackeys immediately surrounded her, blocking her path.

"Grab her!"

Brother Tsai shouted.

The lackeys grabbed Yvonne Donovan's arms.

"Let go of me! Let go! If you touch me, my father won't let you go."

She struggled and yelled at the same time.

Brother Tsai snatched the car keys from her, reached out, and touched her face, swallowing hard, saying, "So smooth and tender, it feels great to the touch. Let's go, take her to the bushes. I'll go first, then you can have a taste after."

These words excited the three lackeys.

They dragged Yvonne Donovan towards the nearby bushes.

At this point, Yvonne Donovan's regret was overwhelming.

In her heart, she cursed Dirk Carter's ancestors, thinking that if he hadn't wanted to drive up to the mountaintop, she wouldn't be in this situation.

Seeing no escape,

Yvonne Donovan thought strategically.

She shouted loudly, "Wait a minute."

By now, Brother Tsai was unbuckling his belt.

Hearing her shout, he paused and asked, "What?"

Yvonne Donovan said, "Since I can't escape, I'm not going to struggle anymore, no need to hold my hands, I'll cooperate with you guys."

Could it be that good?

Brother Tsai thought to himself, after all, with just one woman against four men, she wouldn't be able to escape. He waved his hand, saying, "Let her go."

Then with a chuckle, he said, "Young lady, go ahead and strip yourself."

"Go to hell!"

Yvonne Donovan shouted fiercely.

She raised her foot and kicked Brother Tsai in the groin.

With a thud,

Brother Tsai froze instantly.

The excruciating pain spread from his crotch, and he collapsed on the ground, his face drained of all color.

In a flash,

Yvonne Donovan bolted towards the forest on the other side of the mountaintop.

Clutching his groin in agony, Brother Tsai gritted his teeth and yelled, "What are you waiting for? Chase her..."

The other three finally snapped out of it and pursued Yvonne Donovan.

Once in the forest, the terrain wasn't as smooth, and Yvonne Donovan, unable to tell directions, fell multiple times, her clothes torn, and her knees and thighs aching.

Having rained the night before, the forest was wet, and after falling a few times, her clothes were soaked.

Seeing the three pursuers closing in,

as Yvonne Donovan was exhausted and at a loss, suddenly, a hand reached out from behind a large rock and grabbed her, pulling her forcefully into safety...
