A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 741:

This action attracted the attention of many people.

Everyone knew Dirk Carter had just gotten married a few days ago.

Yet now he was embracing another woman in public.

What's more troubling is that this woman was Fabian Vincent's daughter.

"Cough cough cough..."

Dirk Carter could only use a cough to hide his embarrassment.

Just as he was about to say something.

Eve Vincent let go of him.

She showed a smile and said, "Alright, I'm satisfied now. Dirk Carter, I like you."

"This..."

For a moment, Dirk Carter didn't know what to say.

Eve Vincent waved her hand and said, "I know, you're already married, but if I don't say this, I'll regret it for a lifetime. I've said it, I've hugged you, no regrets anymore. I wish you happiness."

After saying this.

Eve Vincent turned and left.

Firmly and resolutely.

At that moment, Dirk Carter felt somewhat dazed.

It seems after going through so many trials and tribulations, Eve Vincent had changed.

She indeed had changed.

A year later.

When meeting Eve Vincent again, she was already a well-known lawyer.

Not because her litigation skills were particularly great.

But because as long as she was helping ordinary people with lawsuits, she charged nothing, if anyone had a grievance and found her, she would help with all she had.

She was right, Dirk Carter was her redemption.

He changed Eve Vincent, and also Fabian Vincent.

This outcome, Dirk Carter hadn't anticipated from the start.

Before getting married.

Dirk Carter handed over his work to Deputy Secretary Halbert Hale.

So when the transfer order came.

Dirk Carter didn't have much to prepare.

Upon learning that Dirk Carter was appointed to Veridia City, Dorothy Zechariah didn't say a word and directly took out her suitcase.

Seeing her ready to pack, Dirk Carter grabbed her.

"What's wrong?"

Dorothy Zechariah asked.

Dirk Carter hesitated and said, "Dorothy, you know, Helios County in Janton State is a poor county and security is quite chaotic. I want to go there as a vanguard first. It's better if you stay in Rexton City. Once everything settles there, you can bring the baby over. How does that sound?"

These words were not exaggerated at all.

Although Janton State's economy is among the top nationwide.

The disparity between the north and south is considerable.

Especially Veridia City, its GDP ranks at the bottom in Janton State year after year, incomparable to Rexton City.

And in Janton State, Helios County doesn't have a good reputation.

In the cities of southern Janton State, whenever mentions of gambling, societal connections, fights, thieves, etc., people instinctively think of Helios County residents.

This also leads many factories, when hiring employees, to reject directly once they see identification from Helios County.

Moreover, Dirk Carter has learned.

The security in Helios County is very poor.

Several criminal gang activities are rampant within the county.

If Dorothy Zechariah and her daughter were brought over, many things couldn't be dealt with freely.

Just a few days after the wedding, Dirk Carter would have to separate from Dorothy, so when expressing this, Dirk Carter appeared quite apologetic.

Unexpectedly, Dorothy laughed out loud upon hearing it.

Dirk Carter froze.

Quickly said, "Dorothy, don't misunderstand, I'm not taking you with me for your own good, not because..."

Before he finished his sentence.

Dorothy stepped forward, her hands wrapped around Dirk Carter's neck.

She said, "Even if you want us to go, I don't want to go. Helios County is notorious, not a good place. How about this, you go to Helios County for your post, I'll take the baby back to Serenity State to her grandfather, both family headquarters are starting operations soon, I want to help Dad with something too."

"So you took this suitcase..."

"I'm packing to go back to Serenity State, you thought I was going with you?"

Asked Dorothy Zechariah.

Dirk Carter also laughed.

Quickly said, "Then I'll help you pack together."

With deep affection, Dorothy Zechariah said, "Once we part, it might be at least a month before we can meet again. What if I miss you?"

"Where do you miss me?"

Dirk Carter asked mischievously.

If this were before.

Dorothy Zechariah would surely blush.

But after Dirk Carter's careful guidance, things are different now.

With a sweet smile.

She said, "Everywhere on my body, I miss you."

"Are you saying I should say goodbye to you all over?"

After saying this.

Dirk Carter directly gave Dorothy Zechariah a princess carry.

Dorothy Zechariah patted Dirk Carter's shoulder, gently saying, "What are you doing, I didn't say now, Ewan and Rose are next door, it would be bad if they heard."

Dirk Carter glanced back.

Said, "No worries, just keep your voice down when you call out."

And without further ado, carried Dorothy Zechariah into the bedroom.

Unbeknownst to them.

The guest room door was slightly ajar.

Their conversation was heard clearly by Ewan Forrest and Rose Forrest inside.

Both of their faces slightly reddened.

Clearly thinking about what Dirk Carter and Dorothy Zechariah were about to do.

Especially Rose Forrest.

Her breathing became a bit quick.

One hand already reaching between her legs, rubbing through her pants.

"Sis, are we going to Helios County with Dirk Carter this time?"

A feeling of itchiness began to emerge between her legs.

Trying to cover up her anxiousness.

Rose Forrest broke the awkwardness.

Reclining on the bed, Ewan Forrest gently pats the sleeping baby.

Said a bit indignantly, "Why go with him? We're not his servants."

"But that day when Dirk Carter called asking you to protect his wife, you were still very happy."

Rose Forrest got up and asked.

Ewan Forrest glared.

Said, "As if! I came here because of this sleeping little sweetheart, not because of him."

Rose Forrest laughed.

Gazing at the ceiling, she said, "Anyway, if Dirk Carter asks me to accompany him, I'll go, Helios County isn't a good place, if I go, I can help him a bit, if you don't go, you can stay and help Boss Archer, he needs hands too."

"If you're going, I'm going too!"

Ewan Forrest immediately said.

"But you just said you're not going, and said we're not his servants!"

Rose Forrest retorted.

Ewan Forrest was momentarily speechless, stammered and said, "I go because I worry about you, that Dirk Carter is a flirtatious guy, I'm afraid you'll be bullied by him."

"I wish he would bully me."

Rose Forrest muttered softly.

Ewan Forrest didn't hear clearly.

Asked, "What did you say?"

Rose Forrest quickly explained, "Nothing... nothing, I said he wouldn't bully me..."

...

The next morning.

Dirk Carter personally drove, sending Dorothy Zechariah and the baby to the airport.

After a reluctant farewell.

Dirk Carter set out on his journey to Helios County for his position.

At this moment, he had no idea, the storms he'd encounter on this trip to Helios County would exceed everything combined previously.
