A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 13: Unsolicited Kindness


The forest wasn't particularly dense, there weren't any towering trees.

But it was winning in terms of tranquility.

Following the direction indicated by Darius Young, the two walked for about five minutes before Dirk Carter pointed to a clearing and said, "This should be it."

"How do you know?"

Maeve Winters asked.

Dirk Carter chuckled and said, "Look, the grass in other parts is standing up, while here it's lying down. Clearly, something rolls over here frequently and crushes it down."

"Just like you men."

Maeve Winters laughed, covering her mouth.

Dirk Carter was taken aback, "What do you mean?"

Maeve Winters let out a chuckle and said, "When no one rolls over they're standing, but when someone rolls over they collapse. Isn't that comparison apt?"

"That's different. We men can stand back up after rolling, but these grass clearly can't."

"Well, I'll try my best to make sure you can't stand up."

Maeve Winters giggled.

Flirting and bantering.

The two found a hidden spot.

About seven or eight meters away from where the grass was flattened, perfectly positioned on a slope, they concealed themselves within it and wouldn't be discovered.

By this time, the sky was gradually darkening.

But tonight the moonlight was quite good.

The bright moonlight shone through the gaps in the leaves.

It wasn't too dark to see anything.

Just as their limbs started to go numb.

A woman's sweet voice suddenly sounded in their ears.

"You rascal, why so eager, just a few more steps."

"You don't know, I've missed you like crazy these past days."

It was a man's voice.

Dirk Carter and Maeve Winters were startled, got up and pushed aside the grass, only to see, under the moonlight, a man and a woman entangled, walking towards the clearing.

The woman was in her thirties.

Somewhat plump in figure.

The man was tall and skinny, his hands already started exploring the woman, though they hadn't reached the spot yet.

Dirk Carter set up the DV camera, finding an angle.

Today, luck was quite good.

At least the moonlight was enough to capture Ellen Hall's face clearly.

You have to admit.

Though Ellen Hall wasn't tall and also had a robust figure, her face wasn't bad, even making her capable of such daring behavior.

As soon as they reached the spot.

Ellen Hall laid a sheet on the ground.

The man couldn't hold back anymore.

He pounced on her like a tiger, pinning Ellen Hall onto the ground, and started nibbling on her.

Ellen Hall was calling out to slow down, yet she showed no signs of stopping, trying hard to accommodate him, her voice becoming muddled.

After a few rounds.

The two were already stripped bare.

Under the moonlight, a man and a woman indulged themselves.

You would think the two having an affair would be more restrained.

But Ellen Hall's joyful cries echoed throughout the forest.

Such an alluring scene.

Maeve Winters watched without taking her eyes off.

In this kind of atmosphere.

The two also started feeling heated.

No longer caring about surveillance.

Dirk Carter only felt his body quickly flipped by Maeve Winters, who then mounted him.

In this wild and secluded place, absorbing the essence of nature, such an environment wasn't bad, but the two had to be very careful not to make any sound, otherwise things would get awkward if discovered by the other party.

After a dozen minutes.

Ellen Hall and the carpenter Wang had finished and left.

Dirk Carter and Maeve Winters had just started.

After the passion.

Dirk Carter let out a long sigh and said, "Can't we find a bed next time?"

"No, I like the thrill,"

Maeve Winters puckered her lips and said.

Really no way to deal with her.

The two reviewed the footage on the DV camera.

The quality looked quite satisfactory.

With this kind of recording.

Showing it to Darian Brooks.

Pet-wife enthusiast Darian Brooks might really explode on the spot.

If there were truly secrets behind Rardin Grant's death, as long as they pry open Darian Brooks' mouth, the truth wouldn't be far.

And it would also prove Dirk Carter had nothing to do with the matter.

Settling this issue relieved a lot of anxiety.

He couldn't get involved in the following matters, Maeve Winters had to handle them.

Had a sound sleep.

It was the weekend the next day.

Dirk Carter rested at home for a whole day.

In the evening, just as he prepared to head out for food, he suddenly received a phone call, unexpectedly from Victor Ford.

"Director Carter, are you free tonight? I want to invite you to dinner and personally apologize."

Victor Ford maintained a low stance over the phone.

You should know, even when Dylan Tate was around back then, Victor Ford never lowered himself like this.

"No need for dinner, and certainly no need for an apology, I'll hang up..."

Dirk Carter had no likings for Victor Ford.

Just as he was about to hang up.

Victor Ford urgently said, "Director Carter, don't hit a smiling man, besides I've arrived at your door."

At the door?

He put down the phone, opened the door.

Sure enough, Victor Ford was there with a rare smile, holding two bottles of wine, waiting at the door.

"Director Carter, I was in the wrong before, these days I've been reflecting at home, considering we see each other frequently, there's no need for such unpleasantness, isn't it better for everyone to get along?"

Unwarranted hospitality, nothing good behind it.

Dirk Carter understood such a simple truth.

However, he did want to see what Victor Ford was up to.

Thinking it through, he nodded and agreed.

A dozen minutes later, the two arrived at a seafood restaurant not too far from Dirk Carter's home.

Victor Ford ordered a table full of dishes, seemingly having spent quite a bit.

During the meal, Victor Ford expressed his apologies again.

His attitude was quite sincere.

After the meal, Victor Ford leaned closer and said mysteriously, "Director Carter, I know a great place, how about relaxing together?"

"I'll follow your arrangements then."

Dirk Carter said.

Victor Ford showed joy.

Called a cab.

Soon, the two arrived at the entrance of Elysian Springs Spa.

Dirk Carter had never been here before, but the place seemed quite unique, each room designed like a thatched hut.

Behind each unit was a fenced yard.

In the center of the yard was a spa pool.

There were no hot springs in Stillwater County, so-called private spas were just heated water made to mimic hot springs, mainly a gimmick to attract. In simple terms, it was no different from taking a bath.

"Director Carter, the room's booked, you'll be in this one, I'll be in that one, don't return tonight, just enjoy yourself."

"Then I won't refuse courteously."

Dirk Carter said with a smile.

Victor Ford patted him on the shoulder, said, "No need to be so polite, Director. From tonight, we'll be good brothers."

"Yes, good brothers."

After Dirk Carter said this.

Victor Ford opened the door to his room for him, and then entered the adjacent one himself.

In front was a room roughly thirty square meters in size.

The lighting was somewhat dim.

Inside, the facilities were complete.

At the spot where the yard gate was, a ten-square-meter spa pool was steaming.

More importantly, at the center of the pool, a bikini-clad beauty with long hair was waiting there.
