A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 731 731:

Upon hearing this, Luna's face flushed instantly.

She said to Yale Quill, "Grandpa, what are you talking about..."

"Hahaha, you're actually shy."

Yale Quill laughed.

He said to Barron Zechariah, "Mr. Zechariah, Dirk Carter is quite a catch. You've got the upper hand with him. As an elder, you have to treat him well. If one day I find out that you're not, then don't blame me for taking him away."

"Mr. Quill, don't worry, Dirk marrying our Dorothy is a blessing for the Zechariah Family. I definitely won't let him go to someone else."

Barron Zechariah replied with great generosity.

"Dorothy, don't listen to my grandpa's nonsense. I wish you both eternal happiness and a long-lasting love."

Qin Shiming Yue held Dorothy Zechariah's hand and said a bit timidly.

Dorothy Zechariah was also generous.

She patted Luna's hand.

Said, "Dirk has gotten to where he is today, thanks to everyone's support. Rest assured, I'm not a selfish person. There are some things I won't monopolize."

These words were full of implication.

Also a hint to Luna.

She wanted to tell Luna, if you like Dirk too, there are times you can have him, I won't mind.

To be able to say such words.

And in a graceful manner.

Luna now understood why Dorothy ended up being the winner.

"Alright, you people, really, you talk about all sorts of things. Since old Quinn has given a gift, I have to show something too. Dirk, my move won't be as extravagant as old Quinn's, but I won't be vague either. Elaine, bring our gift up."

Gage Nolan finally broke the awkwardness.

Elaine Nolan returned to the car.

She took out a box.

Handed it over to Dirk Carter.

However, the box was long-shaped.

Dirk Carter opened it carefully, inside was unexpectedly a painting.

Before everyone's eyes, he opened it.

Yale Quill's eyes went wide.

He exclaimed, "Farley Yarbrough's painting, good lord, old Nolan, you have some good stuff."

The person he mentioned.

Is a famous painter nationwide.

His artworks are rare.

But each piece is quite precious.

Many dignitaries have spent a lot trying to get a piece from Farley Yarbrough, but this guy has a peculiar temperament; obtaining a painting from him is harder than reaching the sky.

No wonder Yale Quill's eyes were filled with envy.

Gage Nolan looked at everyone's envious and jealous eyes.

Somewhat proudly said, "Dirk, this painting is my only presentable gift, you better keep it safe."

"Mr. Nolan, thank you then."

Dirk Carter handed the scroll to Dorothy Zechariah.

Leading the crowd.

Entered the banquet hall.

The guests who were already inside.

Seeing Dirk Carter bringing in these two prominent figures.

Each one became excited.

Arranged them to sit at the central table.

At the door, again, there was a noise.

Only to see Irving Pace rushing through the crowd.

Found Dirk Carter, said, "Dirk, Mr. Forrest has arrived."

"Who? Mr. Forrest?"

Dirk Carter was stunned.

Another uninvited elder appeared.

Giving Dirk a sense of being flattered.

People parted, making a path.

A lean old man slowly walked into the banquet hall.

Seeing him, Yale Quill paused.

Said to Dirk Carter, "Smart kid, how long have you been in Janton State, and you know this old fellow, you sure have a knack for befriending elders."

"Mr. Quill, don't tease me. Mr. Forrest isn't someone I intended to meet, it's Dorothy."

Dirk Carter said.

As expected.

Upon seeing Mr. Forrest.

Dorothy enthusiastically greeted him.

Took Mr. Forrest's hand, said, "Mr. Forrest, why did you come?"

"Little girl, you're getting married, of course, this old man came for a drink, what? Not welcome?"

Alphonso Forrest asked.

Dorothy laughed and said, "Mr. Forrest, what are you talking about, drink as much as you want, there's plenty for you."

Led by Dorothy.

Alphonso Forrest was seated at Yale Quill and Gage Nolan's table.

Seeing Yale Quill, Alphonso Forrest also paused.

He said, "I wondered why this Dirk kid is so confident, turns out you have this old fellow backing you up."

Yale Quill laughed heartily.

He said, "Old Forrest, you're mistaken, I haven't helped him in Janton State, the statement should be reversed to say, Dirk is unsettled here, it's you causing trouble behind the scenes."

Alphonso Forrest glared.

Said, "Old Quill, you're wrong. I'm here on behalf of Dorothy's family, today I came to back her up. If Dirk mistreats her, watch me beat him."

The host and guests all had a good time.

Immersed in laughter.

Mr. Quill became the middleman, introducing Alphonso Forrest to Gage Nolan, and Gage Nolan to Alphonso Forrest.

Although they don't serve in the same state.

They had heard of each other's reputations, after some back-and-forth, they got acquainted.

"Everyone, look over there."

Suddenly, an exclamation came from the crowd.

Many people stood up.

Looked towards the banquet hall entrance.

Dirk Carter was also attracted by the noise.

Lifted his head and looked.

His head grew a size larger.

At the entrance.

A line of women in cheongsams walked in.

Leading them was none other than Catherine Sawyer.

Behind Catherine were the long-unseen Sierra Vincent, then Zoey Moss, Rosalind Sullivan, Elsie Eames, Rosie, Ewan Forrest, and Rose Forrest, a total of eight women.

All eight women were stunning.

Each more beautiful than the last.

Their figures were more striking one after another.

Some young lads had their eyes fixed.

"You're in trouble."

Arlo Yarbrough pointed at Dirk Carter in a mocking tone.

Why were these women here?

To demonstrate?

Dirk Carter was about to go up and greet them.

Dorothy quickly grabbed his arm.

She smiled gently at him and said, "Let me handle it."

"You?"

Dirk Carter asked, somewhat incredulous.

Dorothy said, "Before I knew you, you already had dealings with them. I won't be jealous, besides, I'm the true winner."

After speaking.

She confidently marched towards the group of women.

"Your sister-in-law is courageous, daring to take on an epic challenge, I'm more and more looking forward to the wedding today."

Arlo Yarbrough said, squinting his eyes.

Dirk Carter gave his head a light punch.

Lowly asked, "Is everything I asked you to prepare, ready?"

Arlo Yarbrough snapped his fingers.

Said, "Relax, this trivial matter I can handle."

Dirk Carter nodded.

Just about to announce the start of the wedding banquet.

Bradford Lewis hurriedly came out from the crowd.

Walked up to Dirk Carter and said, "Boss, Secretary Bates and Mayor Vincent have arrived."

Arlo Yarbrough was taken aback.

Asked, "Why did they come? I don't remember inviting them."
