A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 753 753

Just opened the bathroom door.

Britt Ford immediately rushed out.

Grabbing Dirk Carter's arm.

"Dirk... Secretary General Carter, there's one thing... Could you help me with it?"

Britt Ford said somewhat hurriedly.

Dirk Carter chuckled.

Said, "Secretary Sterling, I promise you that what happened today is only known by heaven, earth, you, and me. No one else will know."

That's exactly what Britt Ford wanted to hear.

She let out a long sigh.

Her face relaxed as well.

"Secretary Sterling, this is your personal matter, I shouldn't say much, but try not to play like this in the future. If something really happens, you won't have time for regrets."

Dirk Carter said.

Britt Ford nodded.

Blushing, she said, "Thank you, Secretary General Carter."

"Also..."

Dirk Carter suddenly looked at Britt Ford.

Britt Ford froze, asking, "What else?"

Dirk Carter pointed at her lower half.

Said, "You didn't pull up your skirt properly."

Looking down.

Britt Ford wished she could find a hole to jump into.

Just after she had lifted her skirt, she tucked it into the "belt" at her waist, so the skirt remained open, revealing everything below, caught in Dirk Carter's view.

Flustered and hurriedly, she put down her skirt.

Lifting her head again, Dirk Carter was already nowhere to be seen.

At the bathroom entrance.

As soon as Dirk Carter stepped out.

He saw Arlo Yarbrough leaning against the wall.

"All done?"

Arlo Yarbrough asked mockingly.

"What do you mean by all done, I didn't do anything at all?"

Dirk Carter protested.

Arlo Yarbrough reached out his hand.

Passed a bunch of keys.

Said sarcastically, "Alright alright, you accompanied the lady into the ladies' bathroom, stayed there for almost forty minutes, and now you're telling me nothing happened, do you expect me to believe that?"

"You..."

Dirk Carter was about to scold Arlo Yarbrough.

Footsteps came from behind.

At that moment, Britt Ford also came out.

Her clothes were in disarray, her hair a mess.

Seeing outsiders, she dared not chat with Dirk Carter any longer, and left with her head down.

"Don't tell me her flushed appearance wasn't your doing, who would believe it?"

Arlo Yarbrough continued to tease.

Dirk Carter was speechless.

Had he not promised Britt Ford not to tell others, he would have debated with Arlo Yarbrough anyway.

"What are these keys?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Arlo Yarbrough smirked, saying, "What else could it be, your dorm keys. I couldn't let Houston Marshall keep waiting at the bathroom door, otherwise rumors would fly by tomorrow. So, I said you had diarrhea and let him leave first, and I got the keys and address over here."

"Well done, you're getting more once on track."

Dirk Carter gave a thumbs-up to Arlo Yarbrough, saying.

Just as the two reached the entrance of the guest house.

Suddenly, they heard a shout from behind, "Secretary General Carter, Secretary General Carter..."

Both turned back.

Only to see Melody Holloway rushing out.

Just like when they first met.

Two full bosoms bounced vigorously, even if you didn't want to look, your eyes naturally got drawn to them.

"Director Holloway, anything?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Melody Holloway, panting, raised a bag in her hand.

Said, "I've been waiting at the door for you, turns out you hadn't left yet, the gift is still here for you."

After saying this.

She handed over the bag.

Arlo Yarbrough, as the secretary, accepted it smoothly.

"Then thank you, Director Holloway."

Dirk Carter nodded in acknowledgment.

Melody Holloway smiled sweetly.

Said, "What kind of talk is this, Secretary General Carter, we subordinates are meant to serve you."

Recalling the initial joke by Jabez Shaw.

This sentence sounded awkward.

Dirk Carter quickly said, "Director Holloway, then we shall go first."

"Okay, goodbye Secretary General Carter."

Standing by the entrance.

Melody Holloway waved goodbye.

Only after Dirk Carter's car slowly drove out from the courtyard, Melody Holloway turned to leave.

"How's the investigation on Iris Baldwin going?"

Reclining in the back seat of the car, Dirk Carter asked Arlo Yarbrough, who was driving.

Arlo Yarbrough chuckled, asked, "Have you heard of the Ten Great Treasures?"

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

Frowned.

Thinking of what auxiliary police officer Achilles Carter said in the police car in Newfield Village.

Asked, "Where did you hear about the Ten Great Treasures?"

"Driver, you leaders were drinking inside, I chatted with the drivers outside. I didn't say I was your secretary, just your driver, and during casual chats, this tale about the Ten Great Treasures came up."

Arlo Yarbrough said.

Dirk Carter, impatient, said, "I asked you to investigate Iris Baldwin, why are you focusing on the Ten Great Treasures?"

"Don't rush, let me explain, these Ten Great Treasures aren't types or categories, but living persons."

Arlo Yarbrough said.

Dirk Carter perked up.

Sat upright.

Asked, "What did you say? The Ten Great Treasures are ten people?"

"Yes, Iris Baldwin is one of the Ten Great Treasures."

Arlo Yarbrough said.

It was mentioned before that the so-called Ten Great Treasures are One Basil, Twin Swallows, Three Spring Waters, Four Seasons Jade Curls, Five Dragons Playing with Pearls, Six-sided Ambush, Seven-Aperture Exquisite, Eight Directions Wind and Rain, Nine-Curves Corridor, Ten Layers of Heaven Palace.

Iris Baldwin is ranked third among the Ten Great Treasures, as "Three Spring Waters."

At this point.

Arlo Yarbrough paused.

Said, "By the way, during today's banquet, you interacted with two of the Ten Great Treasures, the one who shared a moment in the bathroom with you was 'Nine-Curves Corridor', so how was it? Feeling anything?"

"As I said, nothing happened between us, why won't you believe it?"

Dirk Carter complained.

Arlo Yarbrough mimicked surrender.

Said, "Alright alright, nothing happened, anyway, they said Britt Ford is ranked ninth among the Ten Great Treasures."

This was something Achilles Carter mentioned before.

Thought it was a secret matter.

Unexpectedly, even the drivers' group knew.

"Didn't you say two appeared at the banquet? Who's the other one?"

"Guess!"

Arlo Yarbrough teased.

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

Asked, "Melody Holloway?"

Arlo Yarbrough snickered, said, "You're quite smart, Melody Holloway is ranked seventh as Seven-Aperture Exquisite."

In terms of looks and demeanor, Melody Holloway indeed couldn't match Britt Ford.

But in terms of physique, Melody Holloway should be considered top-notch.

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment.

Asked, "What exactly do these Ten Great Treasures mean?"

"Do you want to know?"

Arlo Yarbrough asked with a wicked smile.

Dirk Carter directly opened his wallet.

Pulled out three hundred-yuan bills, tossed them onto the front passenger seat.

Said with disdain, "I know you, you just want money, can you tell now?"

Arlo Yarbrough glanced at the money on the seat while driving, immediately collected it.

Said, "Three hundred yuan only covers the explanation for three."
