A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 591 591

The scene instantly ignited the conference room.

Especially those who couldn't stand Dirk Carter's style, they all displayed looks of disdain on their faces.

In their view, Dirk Carter was done for this time.

"Ahem... This doesn't prove anything. As far as I know, Comrade Dirk is single, and it's normal to date a girlfriend."

Unexpectedly, the first person to step up and explain for Dirk Carter was Michael Hall.

Elliot Douglas heard it.

He let out a cold snort and said, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with normal dating, Secretary Hall. Look carefully, this is one man with two women. This is no longer ordinary dating; it already involves mass licentiousness. Chief Pace, you're the police chief, you should be most clear about the definition of mass licentiousness, right?"

These words left Irving Pace temporarily at a loss on how to explain.

He thought Dirk Carter had a backup plan, but now that the evidence was laid out, he was unsure, and he truly didn't know what trick Dirk Carter had up his sleeve.

"I admit, I indeed booked a room with these two women that day."

At this time, Dirk Carter broke the noise, speaking to everyone.

Michael Hall was suddenly stunned.

Irving Pace's face turned white all at once.

Lincoln Griffin was so pleased that it was almost spilling over.

He quickly said, "As long as Executive Carter doesn't claim I'm wronging him, that's good. I'm dealing with the issue, not the person. Since the report has come to me, I have to reflect it to the leaders for the sake of Koryn City's image."

Previously, Dirk Carter had always stressed that pollution affected the city's image.

He said this deliberately, to give him a taste of his own medicine.

"However, I didn't do anything with these two women; we just chatted, that's all."

Dirk Carter continued.

Lincoln Griffin was taken aback and said, "Nonsense, of course, you would say that now. Everyone saw how close you were with those two women; it's pure sophistry."

"Comrade Lincoln, please mind your language."

Michael Hall warned unhappily.

Lincoln Griffin remained calm and addressed everyone present, "Fellow leaders, I know even if the evidence is in front of Executive Carter, he won't admit it. I propose we bring these two women to the conference room to confront Executive Carter. Then the truth will be clear. Of course, if Executive Carter is unwilling to bring in these two women, that indicates he has something to hide."

"Yes, I also think it's feasible."

Elliot Douglas agreed.

Secretary of Political and Legal Affairs Owen quickly said, "Comrade Lincoln's concerns deserve attention. It's best if nothing happened; if it did, at least the citizens of Koryn City need an explanation."

Such a high-sounding statement.

No explanation required for pollution before.

Now, Dirk Carter's personal matters require an explanation.

This kind of double standard, they play it very well.

Dirk Carter sneered and asked, "Mayor Griffin, are you sure you want these two women to come?"

"Executive Carter, you wouldn't be afraid, would you?"

Lincoln Griffin asked.

Dirk Carter shook his head and said, "I'm not afraid. I just want to ask Mayor Griffin, are you the one insisting they come over?"

Is this a taunt?

Or a warning?

Things had reached this point; what was left for Lincoln Griffin to fear?

He nodded and said, "Yes, I'm the one who wants them to come to confront face-to-face."

"Then regardless of any problems arising afterward, does Mayor Griffin bear the consequences himself?"

Dirk Carter continued to ask.

Elliot Douglas, hearing this, also mistook it as Dirk Carter putting pressure on Lincoln Griffin.

He tapped the table with his knuckles and said, "Comrade Dirk, no need for such sarcastic remarks. I said before, Comrade Lincoln is reflecting the issue normally, and I'll support him whatever the outcome."

"Fine."

That's the answer Dirk Carter wanted.

He looked at Elton Hall standing at the door and said, "Then trouble Chief Hall to make another trip."

Finishing.

He pulled out a pen, quickly wrote down two addresses, and handed them to Elton Hall.

Elton Hall got the note, glanced at Lincoln Griffin, received Lincoln Griffin's nod of approval, and quickly ran out.

The wait.

Took about twenty minutes.

Twenty minutes later, Elton Hall returned.

Accompanying him were two women, and when the men in the conference room saw the two, they each became envious, jealous, and resentful, as these two women were really too beautiful.

Although just moments ago, everyone was righteously indignant.

In truth, deep down, they were very envious of Dirk Carter.

Nora Hughes and Yvonne Donovan came in.

Glancing at Dirk Carter.

On the way there, from Elton Hall's words, the two had roughly understood what happened.

"Mayor Griffin, may I ask if it's these two women?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Lincoln Griffin, having seen these two women, immediately nodded and affirmed, "Yes, it's them!"

Elliot Douglas felt a surge of joy.

He stood up and, pointing at the images on the projection screen, asked Nora Hughes and Yvonne Donovan, "Are the two women in the picture you?"

"Yes!"

Yvonne Donovan answered without a second thought.

"Then that evening, did you and Dirk Carter check into a room together?"

"Yes!"

This time, Nora Hughes responded.

As expected, a commotion of exclamations arose at the scene.

"Then I'll ask you again, after entering the room, what happened between you and Dirk Carter?"

Yvonne Donovan's face showed a look of disdain.

She said dismissively, "What happened, what's it got to do with you?"

"Insolent, do you know who you're talking to?"

Yvonne Donovan had just finished speaking.

Lincoln Griffin scolded Yvonne Donovan.

Yvonne Donovan, having grown up in the Donovan Family, had seen many things. She snorted coldly, "Who? Just an old man who meddles too much!"

"Exactly, they don't do their real jobs, just know how to invade others' privacy. Really have nothing better to do."

Nora Hughes said coldly from the side.

Elliot Douglas was so angry his nostrils flared.

Lincoln Griffin quickly shouted, "Fellow leaders, I suggest we arrest these two women on charges of mass licentiousness. I even suspect these two are engaged in prostitution!"

With a loud slap.

Just as he finished speaking.

Yvonne Donovan strode forward and slapped Lincoln Griffin across the face.

Lincoln Griffin was immediately stunned by the blow.

Only to see Yvonne Donovan's hand pointing straight to his nose, angrily saying, "What the hell did you say? If you have the guts, say it again!"

"Call in the security!"

Elliot Douglas finally seized the opportunity.

He shouted to Elton Hall at the door.

Because of Yvonne Donovan's assault, the situation completely changed. Now, even if Dirk Carter didn't do anything with these two women, openly assaulting a state official meant this woman had to be punished.

In no time.

Several security personnel rushed in.

Lincoln Griffin furiously pointed at Yvonne Donovan and Nora Hughes, shouting, "Arrest them, arrest them! Two prostitutes dare to be so arrogant; I want to see how tough their mouths really are!"

"Slow down!"

Just as the security personnel were about to act.

Dirk Carter stepped forward and shouted.
