Chapter 580 - 580
Yara Hughes is 35 this year, about the same age as Jeanette Houseman.
From a young age, Yara was a top academic achiever among the three great families.
At 16, she was admitted to the best university in the country, Auran University, majoring in optoelectronics and receiving focused training.
Eight years later, at 24, she completed her bachelor's, master's, and doctoral studies consecutively and became the youngest Ph.D. at Auran University.
Many research institutions at home and abroad extended olive branches to her.
However, Miles Hughes was adamantly opposed.
He did not want his daughter to pursue a career in research.
He forced her to take the civil service exam and embark on a political path.
Yara complied.
At 26, she joined the Ministry of Science and Technology.
Faced with the scheming and power plays of the political arena, Yara was very unhappy.
Countless times she talked to her father, Miles Hughes, hoping to pursue her favorite research work.
But she was met with strong opposition from Miles.
That same year, Yara fell in love with a man.
Yet, because this man's family was ordinary, Miles eventually forced them apart.
Disheartened, she resigned from her job at the Ministry of Science and Technology, only to be ruthlessly threatened by Miles with being kicked out of the house and severing the father-daughter relationship.
At that moment.
She was thoroughly disappointed with the family.
Resolutely, she stepped out of the house.
Two years later, she officially founded Vastsky Photovoltaic Technology Co., Ltd.
Over seven or eight years.
The initially small company leaped to become a leading powerhouse in the domestic photovoltaic industry, with its market value once breaking through 80 billion.
Just last year.
Vastsky Green Energy Group became the largest private photovoltaic technology company in the country.
Moreover, amid the global advocacy for new energy, the scale of Vastsky Green Energy is rapidly expanding.
Although Yara Hughes's name never appeared on the rich list.
She has already become one of the true power players.
After Vastsky Green Energy grew big.
Miles Hughes had considered reconciling with Yara.
After all, such an enormous company was created by his daughter of the Hughes Family, but Yara had no interest in returning to the Hughes Family.
Of course.
She was not completely indifferent to the Hughes Family.
Just like this time, upon hearing about Nora Hughes going to Koryn City, she rushed over at the first opportunity.
As Dirk Carter had predicted.
She had someone follow Nora Hughes.
After learning that Nora and Dirk entered a hotel together, she was infuriated, stormed into the hotel at once, leading to her confrontation with Dirk.
"You have a cut on your forehead, let me help you with that?"
Seeing the bloodstain on Dirk Carter's forehead, Yvonne Donovan said with some distress.
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
Said, "It's nothing, just a minor wound, you should rest early."
"Okay."
Yvonne nodded sensibly.
At the hotel entrance.
Yara hurriedly pulled Nora Hughes into the car.
As soon as the car door closed, Yara scolded Nora, "Little Nora, how could you be so naive, Dad told you to come, and you did, yet you went to a hotel with that guy, are you out of your mind?"
"Sis! It's not what you think!"
Nora explained.
"What do you mean it's not what I think? I saw everything that should and shouldn't be seen, don't worry, I definitely won't let that guy off, tomorrow I'll use my connections and make him pay for taking advantage of my sister, he's courting death!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she got.
Yara was seething with hatred.
She not only hated her father, Miles Hughes, but also despised men like Dirk Carter who took advantage of others.
"Sis, it's really not like you think, nothing happened between Dirk and me, I… I'm still pure…"
Nora anxiously defended herself.
Yara was momentarily stunned and asked, "He didn't touch you?"
"No."
Nora shook her head and said.
One would think she would be relieved, but instead, she grew even angrier.
Through gritted teeth, she said, "What does that mean? Is it possible he thinks our Hughes family's women aren't good enough? Was he charmed by that little enchantress Yvonne Donovan?"
"Sis, it's not like that, can't you let me finish?"
Nora also got anxious and shouted loudly.
Only then did Yara control her intense emotions, took a deep breath, and said, "Fine, you talk, I'm listening."
Nora recounted everything that happened, including the previous incidents with Teresa Thorne, leading up to the moment before Yara's appearance when Dirk spoke.
When Nora finished speaking.
Yara looked at Nora with wide eyes.
Somewhat incredulously, she asked, "Is everything you just said true?"
Nora nodded and said, "Sis, don't you believe me? He really asked me to take responsibility for my life, he didn't touch me at all…"
"It shouldn't be, is there really such a man in the world?"
Yara muttered.
Looking again at Nora, with sincerity all over her face.
She also knew that her sister wouldn't lie to her.
"Sis, you really misunderstood him, he's a good person, and that's not just my opinion, but also Snowy's. In a sense, Dirk Carter is a benefactor of the Hughes Family."
Nora sighed and said.
In Yara's mind.
She thought of the scene where she slapped Dirk Carter.
She also remembered throwing her bag at him, causing his forehead to bleed.
Deep down inside, a feeling of guilt suddenly surged up.
Patting Nora on the head, she said, "Alright, sister will take you to rest first, we'll talk about the rest later…"
The next day was the weekend.
Dirk Carter didn't wake up until eight in the morning.
He had just finished freshening up, hadn't had breakfast yet.
When a knock echoed at the door.
When Dirk Carter opened the door.
A young man in a black suit appeared before him.
Dirk was taken aback and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
"Excuse me, are you Executive Carter?"
The man politely asked.
Dirk nodded and said, "I am."
"Hello Executive Carter, I'm the assistant of Chairwoman Yara Hughes. She sent me to fetch you; she would like to have a word with you."
Yara Hughes?
Dirk felt a tinge of apprehension.
He didn't really want to deal with her, but on second thought, he needed to sort out these messy matters, so he nodded and said, "Alright, I'll get ready and go with you."
Ten minutes later.
Dirk got into the assistant's car.
The car drove out of the city, and about half an hour later, stopped at the side entrance of the Clear-sky Lake Scenic Area.
Someone hurried over to open the car door for him and said, "Hello Executive Carter, Chairwoman Hughes is waiting for you on the boat."
On the boat?
Dirk took a closer look.
He saw a luxurious-looking yacht docked at the pier.
Led by another person in a black suit, Dirk boarded the boat.
At that moment.
A woman in a fitted dress greeted him on the deck and bowed, saying, "Executive Carter, please come this way, Chairwoman Hughes is waiting for you on the upper deck…"
Passing through the first-floor deck.
Climbing the stairs.
A large open-concept living room came into view.
On the sofa sat a woman, none other than Yara Hughes.
Yara was still the same Yara, but compared to yesterday, her attire had changed significantly.
