A Bumpy Road to Power Chapter 787 - 787

When "Hawkeye" was ntioned.

Louisa Wagner and Darien Griffin both shuddered simultaneously.

Their hands couldn't help but tremble.

Yet they still picked up the powder on the bed.

Ripped open a gap, and crazily stuffed it into their mouths.

Even though their mouths were full, they didn't dare spit it out, forcing it down instead.

They knew that if they didn't take it, the consequences would be worse.

What happened next, everyone could imagine.

After the drug took effect.

The two entangled with each other again in front of everyone.

The lustful Darien Griffin and the desperate Louisa Wagner kept at it for a full three to four hours until they stopped, not because the desire in their bodies had vanished, but because they no longer had the strength to move.

They lay sprawled out on the bed, eyes rolling back, foaming at the mouth, convulsing, barely recognizable as human.

Downstairs, in the private room.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes, Brett Sumrs pushed the door open and ca in.

Jabez Shaw stood up timidly.

"Ah, Secretary General Carter, I really must apologize. My subordinates are all useless, unable to handle even a small matter, keeping you waiting, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

Although Brett Sumrs was angry inside.

He did not show it on his face.

He remained polite towards Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter laughed and said, "President Sumrs has a huge enterprise, it's normal to be busy, no worries, I understand."

The two took their seats.

Chatting lightly and heavily.

Suddenly.

Brett Sumrs smiled and asked Dirk Carter, "Secretary General Carter, you've been in Helios County for almost a month, have you heard about Iris Baldwin?"

Upon hearing this na.

Jabez Shaw's face suddenly beca tense.

He didn't know why Brett Sumrs would bring up Iris Baldwin at this critical point.

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

Without thinking, he said, "I've heard of her, and it seems I've even crossed paths with this woman."

"Oh? Iris Baldwin is a fugitive suspect from the Discipline Inspection Commission, how could Secretary General Carter have crossed paths with her?"

Brett Sumrs continued to ask.

Dirk Carter frowned and said, "That was on my first day in Helios County. After the dinner that night, I happened to encounter a car accident by the roadside, where a woman was being chased by several n. Well, since I'm the Secretary of the County Committee, I couldn't ignore sothing like that, so…"

Dirk Carter recounted the events truthfully.

Of course, with so reservations.

He only said he sent Iris Baldwin to a hotel and then left.

As for what happened afterward, he claid he had no idea.

"The next day, I learned about a fugitive suspect escaping from the Discipline Commission. Realizing the trouble I got into, I didn't dare say anything afterward. President Sumrs, you aren't planning to report , are you?"

Dirk Carter asked, feigning horror.

Brett Sumrs was stunned.

He didn't expect Dirk Carter to be so candid.

If Dirk Carter had been evasive, Brett Sumrs might have only made a courtesy contact today.

But not only did he say everything.

He even suspected that Brett Sumrs would report him.

Brett Sumrs paused for a mont, then laughed heartily.

He said, "Secretary General Carter, what kind of talk is this? People shouldn't be blad for what they don't know, and besides, I'm not in the political arena. Whatever Secretary General Carter has done or hasn't done, it has nothing to do with my business dealings. Why would I get involved in such a ss, right, County Mayor Shaw?"

Jabez Shaw shivered.

Seeing Brett Sumrs say this.

He quickly nodded with a smile.

He said, "Yes, yes, people shouldn't be blad for what they don't know."

"However, about Iris Baldwin's matter, even though I'm not in the political arena, I've heard so things. A Chairman of the People's Congress using promotions to coerce subordinates into submission—that's utterly despicable. Doesn't Secretary General Carter think this should be thoroughly investigated?"

Brett Sumrs asked.

Jabez Shaw felt a chill in his heart.

He looked at Brett Sumrs with bewildernt, not understanding what he ant by saying this.

Dirk Carter, however, knew very well.

He knew Brett Sumrs was planning to move against Darien Griffin.

He felt a surge of excitent inside.

But he didn't show it.

After pondering for a mont, he looked at Brett Sumrs and asked, "President Sumrs, sotis outsiders can see more clearly, so I'd like to ask your opinion. How do you think this matter should be handled?"

Brett Sumrs rubbed his chin and thought for a mont.

He smiled and said, "Secretary General Carter, you've stumped here. Honestly, I really don't know what to say. I feel it should be handled in whatever way seems right. At the very least, shouldn't we give the people a satisfactory answer?"

Dirk Carter feigned contemplation for a mont.

Nodded, raised his glass, and said, "President Sumrs, let's do as you suggest. The County Committee will hold a eting tomorrow to discuss this, ensuring that President Sumrs... no, ensuring that the people of Helios County are satisfied..."

The interaction between the two.

Left Jabez Shaw utterly confused.

Especially Brett Sumrs' words.

Jabez Shaw simply couldn't comprehend them.

After drinks were exchanged, the first eting between Dirk Carter and Brett Sumrs ca to an end.

Brett Sumrs and Jabez Shaw personally saw Dirk Carter off.

Standing at the entrance of the Endless Nights Club, Jabez Shaw asked confusedly, "Brother Sumrs, what do you an? I just don't get it."

"Dirk Carter got it."

Brett Sumrs said.

Jabez Shaw scratched his head and said, "Did Griffin offend you sohow? Tell and I'll go back and reprimand him!"

Family scandals shouldn't be spread.

Surely he couldn't tell Jabez Shaw that his woman was ssing around with Darien Griffin, right?

Looking at Jabez Shaw in front of him.

And recalling Dirk Carter's understanding earlier.

In comparison.

Damiano Sumrs said angrily, "In the matter concerning Darien Griffin, we will do as Dirk Carter said, understood?"

"Listen to Dirk Carter?"

Jabez Shaw asked incredulously.

The annoyed Brett Sumrs snorted and said, "He's the top leader, and you're the second-in-command. Isn't it only right for you to listen to him?"

Leaving those words behind.

Brett Sumrs got into the car.

Watching the familiar Rolls Royce leave.

A sudden feeling of dread rose in Jabez Shaw's heart.

He took out his phone, dialed a number, and when the call connected, he simply said, "Where are you? We need to et."

The person on the other end said sothing.

Jabez Shaw turned and walked back into the private room he had just left.

After waiting for about ten minutes.

The door to the private room was pushed open.

This ti, the person who entered was Garrison Sumrs.

Upon seeing him.

Jabez Shaw hurriedly stood up and asked, "What on earth is happening?"

Garrison Sumrs grabbed a bottle of beer from the table and downed it in one go.

He wiped his mouth and explained in detail what happened in the upstairs guest room.

After listening to the whole story, Jabez Shaw was left stunned.
