At this mont, Dirk Carter and Irving Pace walked out from the police station entrance.
Spotting Dirk Carter.
Elihu Houseman pointed at him, shouting, "Aunt, he hit , he hit , my leg is injured because of him..."
Thirty years old.
He rolled up his trouser leg, tears streaming down.
It's not surprising.
The eldest grandson of the Houseman Family, born with a silver spoon, wherever he went people would follow him around with admiration, when has he ever been humiliated?
Jeanette Houseman saw Elihu's leg bruised and battered.
She felt a bit distressed imdiately.
Seeing this, Elihu said, "Aunt, help teach Dirk Carter a lesson, this guy is too arrogant, he even dares to hit , it's simply lawless."
With Jeanette's support.
Elihu's temper flared up again.
Unexpectedly, Jeanette just glanced at Dirk Carter, patted Elihu's shoulder, and said, "Alright, stop it, I'll take you ho."
"Stop? Aunt, he hit . A nobody, dares to hit our Houseman family, just like that?"
Elihu asked in disbelief.
"Listen to , let's go, your parents are waiting for you."
Jeanette said.
Elihu thought Jeanette would avenge him, but unexpectedly, this was the outco, he was furious, exclaiming, "Aunt, you can let it go, but I can't, I'll definitely get my revenge..."
After saying this.
He prepared to go toward Dirk Carter.
But Jeanette grabbed him.
With a slap to the face.
She angrily said, "Elihu Houseman! I'm talking nicely to you, aren't I? Do you believe I'll send you back in and not care about you?"
She wasn't much older than Elihu.
Usually quite indulgent to this nephew.
After being slapped by his aunt, Elihu was stunned.
He didn't dare say anything, sulkily got into the car.
Jeanette didn't say goodbye to Dirk Carter either, she just gave him a mournful look and got into the car to leave.
Watching the two Houseman family mbers leave without anything happening, Irving Pace breathed a sigh of relief, saying, "Oh, they scared to death, my back is soaked through with sweat..."
Dirk Carter smiled faintly and said, "Alright, the Houseman family's drama is thoroughly over now."
Irving exclaid, "There won't be another round?"
"No more."
Dirk Carter also let out a long breath and said.
Is it just over like that?
Irving couldn't believe it.
But seeing Dirk Carter's confident expression, he believed it eight tenths of the way.
Thinking, what exactly happened, the Houseman family suffered such a big loss, just like that? Who would believe it?
"What should we do next?"
Irving asked.
Dirk Carter looked at the distant city.
Murmuring, "Koryn City's political scene, should be calming down, next, we need to do sothing for the people..."
...
At the highway entrance from Koryn City to Rexton City.
Jeanette Houseman's car was parked by the roadside, seemingly waiting for sothing.
After about ten minutes.
The Koryn City Committee's number two car drove from afar and stopped behind her vehicle.
The car door opened, and Elliot Douglas hurried over with quick steps.
"Miss Houseman, sorry to keep you waiting, really sorry..."
Elliot Douglas panted as he spoke.
Jeanette's expression was grim, she said, "Next, Fabian Vincent's influence won't be as far-reaching, from now on, we're relying on you in Koryn City, do a good job, don't let the Houseman family down."
Elliot shuddered a bit.
Nodded repeatedly, saying, "Miss Houseman rest assured, as long as I'm in Koryn City, I'll keep Dirk Carter suppressed."
"You don't need to make your conflict with Dirk Carter public, just one principle, don't let him be too comfortable, it's not easy for the Houseman family to cultivate people like you."
These words gave Elliot a sense of warmth.
Saying, "Miss Houseman rest assured, I know what to do."
After getting this response.
Jeanette opened the car door.
Seemingly recalling sothing, she took out a business card from the car, stuffed it into Elliot's hand, and said, "This is my private number, from today, I want to know all of Dirk Carter's actions, you can call this number, report directly to , understand?"
Elliot was sowhat puzzled.
After all, Jeanette oversees a state-owned enterprise.
Why is she so "concerned" about Dirk Carter?
The words were at the edge of his lips, yet he didn't dare to ask, only nodded and said, "Miss Houseman rest assured, I'll definitely handle this matter well."
After finishing this matter.
Jeanette felt assured.
Got into the car and left without looking back.
...
After experiencing a series of upheavals, Koryn City gradually cald down.
Back in the office.
He lay down on the sofa.
His mind went blank.
At this mont, he finally allowed the tense strings in his heart to relax.
Just about to close his eyes.
Knocking was heard.
"Co in!"
Dirk Carter called out.
Arlo Yarbrough pushed the door open.
"What's up?"
Dirk Carter sat up and asked.
Arlo gestured outside with his hand, said grumpily, "Another woman ca looking for you outside, you really don't stop huh, leaving your heart everywhere."
"Woman? What woman?"
Dirk Carter asked curiously.
Arlo shook his head and said, "She didn't tell her na, just said you'll know who it is if I ntion the word 'cabin'."
"Cabin?"
Dirk Carter muttered.
Suddenly, he shivered.
Suddenly stood up, heart troubled, "Just sent off one spoiled lady, now another one ca?"
Gestured helplessly and said, "Let her co in."
Arlo was about to leave, suddenly thought of sothing, asked, "Where is she?"
"At the main door."
"Then no need to notify, I'll head down myself."
Saying so, he went straight out the door.
Choosing to go downstairs himself, Dirk Carter really wanted to avoid trouble, if people in the County Committee saw her, there'd definitely be more gossip.
At the main door.
Yvonne Donovan stood looking around in a casual outfit.
Wearing tight jeans on the bottom.
A white top inside, a loose shirt over it.
Wearing a cap on her head.
On seeing Dirk Carter, a smile appeared on her face, and she approached him eagerly.
"What do you say? Surprised?"
Yvonne Donovan asked cheekily.
"Why did you co?"
Dirk Carter frowned.
Yvonne Donovan gave a sly smile, saying, "I missed you, so I ca to see you."
"Your dad sent you, right?"
Dirk Carter asked.
As if being seen through, Yvonne Donovan looked embarrassed for a mont but quickly covered it up, patted her stomach, and said, "I'm hungry, take to eat sothing."
Dirk Carter glanced at his watch, it was already after work hours.
Just about to agree, suddenly another voice ca from behind, "Dirk Carter!"
Hearing soone calling him, he instinctively looked back, and just one glance made his head feel twice as big.
