"Auntie, don't be mad, I was just asking casually. By the way, Auntie, didn't you say you wanted to find a job for my brother? Let me introduce you to a boss."
Dirk Carter said with a smile.
Phoebe Sutton perked up again upon hearing this.
She said, "Sure, where's the boss?"
Dirk Carter clapped his hands.
Then the door of the study opened.
A thin, small man in a traditional outfit stepped out.
Behind him were two beautiful twins, none other than The Rose Twins.
"Auntie, let me introduce you, this boss is named Ford."
Dirk Carter pointed at Caleb Ford.
Phoebe Sutton immediately walked over to Caleb Ford, extended her hand, and warmly said, "Hello, President Ford, nice to meet you."
"Hello."
Caleb Ford said, maintaining his composure.
Dirk Carter continued, "Auntie, you work in a hospital, you must have heard about the saying in Stillwater County about the 'one, two, nine, three old scars', right?"
"I've heard of it, what's the matter?"
"The President Ford you just shook hands with is the 'one' in that saying, the very famous President Ford of our Stillwater County."
As soon as Dirk Carter finished speaking,
Phoebe Sutton's face changed.
She shivered slightly.
And stepped back a step.
Looking at Caleb Ford with fear.
Caleb Ford has a notorious reputation, well-known in Stillwater County as a ruthless gangster. Although she hadn't met him before, his reputation was well-known, no matter the size.
"Dirk, why... why did you bring us to see him?"
At this moment, Phoebe Sutton was no longer as imposing as before, rather she seemed a bit short of breath.
Dirk Carter laughed, "Auntie, as you said, you're the one who wanted me to introduce a job. President Ford has said he would let my cousin work for him."
"No, no, this is not acceptable at all."
Phoebe Sutton shook her head like a rattle drum.
She glared fiercely at Dirk Carter.
And told Ramirez Carter and Teal Carter, "Let's go!"
The three had just reached the door.
Several big men blocked their way.
"What... what does this mean?"
Phoebe Sutton asked.
Dirk Carter smiled, "Auntie, you wanted to come, now you want to leave. You think you can come and go as you please so easily? Today, you all better sit down and settle the accounts thoroughly before you leave, otherwise, you won't be able to leave this room."
"Dirk... this is illegal detention!"
Teal Carter also became a bit nervous.
His voice shook as he spoke.
Dirk Carter suddenly lifted his head, looked at the three of them, and said with a sinister glint in his eyes, "Sit down!"
His voice wasn't loud.
Yet all three shivered.
None dared to defy him.
They obediently sat down.
"Ramirez, you're not working, right? Starting today, you'll work as a security guard at Apex Gardens for a salary of 2000 a month. Deal or not?"
Dirk Carter asked Ramirez Carter directly.
2000? That's not even enough for Ramirez to drink and eat.
Of course he didn't want to.
Just as he was about to speak.
Dirk Carter said, "Let me remind you, think carefully before answering. If our President Ford is not satisfied, you should know the consequences."
"Alright, alright, I'll be a security guard, I'll be a security guard."
Ramirez Carter sneaked a glance at Caleb Ford, and said submissively.
Caleb Ford, sitting on the sofa behind smiled slightly, "Once you're in my domain, you're one of mine. If you don't follow the rules, you choose: break a hand or a leg!"
"I'll follow the rules, I surely will."
Ramirez Carter replied tremblingly.
Dirk Carter patted Ramirez Carter on the shoulder, and said to Phoebe Sutton, "Auntie, see, the job has been arranged, right?"
Phoebe Sutton dared not show anger, only accompanied it with a smile.
Probably in her heart, she had cursed Dirk Carter's ancestors eighteen generations over.
"The second thing should be the bride price, right? I'll take care of that for you as well."
After finishing his sentence, Dirk Carter turned and glanced at Ewan Forrest.
Ewan Forrest nodded.
He pushed open a bedroom door and pulled out a woman with a panic-stricken face.
"Heidi, how are you here?"
Seeing this woman, Ramirez Carter was taken aback and just as he was about to stand up, a strong man behind him forced him back down.
Dirk Carter walked up to the woman and asked, "Your name is Heidi Grant, right?"
"I am."
She said timidly.
"You're the one asking for 300,000 as bride price, right?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Heidi Grant was so scared she trembled, waving her hands repeatedly, "I won't ask for it, I won't ask for a penny."
"Then will you still marry my brother?"
"No, no, I won't ever know him again."
Heidi Grant said.
Dirk Carter put on a regretful expression.
He walked up to Phoebe Sutton and said, "Auntie, she doesn't want any bride price, as your nephew, I'm sorry I can't help."
"Dirk, you..."
Phoebe Sutton was so angry she wanted to stand up, but seeing the room full of burly men, she could only sit back down indignantly.
"The bride price issue is also solved, what else was there? Auntie, I forgot."
It was clear Dirk Carter was just making trouble.
If Phoebe Sutton asked for anything more, it was unknown what kind of trick Dirk Carter would pull again.
She quickly waved her hand, "No more, I won't ask for anything."
"Oh, since there's nothing more, Auntie can leave now."
Dirk Carter said.
Hearing this, Phoebe Sutton acted as if she had been pardoned by a higher authority.
She grabbed Ramirez Carter's hand, eager to leave.
But two big men pressed down on Ramirez Carter's shoulders simultaneously.
"Dirk, what does this mean?"
Phoebe Sutton asked.
Dirk Carter smiled, "Auntie, you're really forgetful. You just heard, my brother will stay as a security guard. How can a security guard leave his post at will? If President Ford gets upset, it will be my brother who suffers."
Bang!
It was like a bolt from the blue.
Phoebe Sutton froze in place.
She finally realized.
Ramirez Carter was being kept as a "hostage."
"Dirk, Ramirez is your cousin, let him go, Auntie will kneel before you..."
Phoebe Sutton adored her son.
Now knowing the situation, she finally couldn't hold back.
Her knees started to bend to kneel.
But Dirk Carter quickly helped her up.
"Auntie, that will shorten my lifespan, I dare not accept this, I dare not."
Phoebe Sutton was taken aback.
Then she suddenly woke up.
She said, "It was Corbin Hall, it was Corbin Hall from The County Committee office who came to us, asking us to seek your help. He said after it was done, he would let Ramirez work in The County Committee, Dirk, we were just blinded by a moment of foolishness, Auntie knows we were wrong... we were wrong..."
Corbin Hall?
Upon hearing this name,
Dirk Carter wasn't too surprised.
After all, in The County Committee office, Clifford Levin could get anyone to do something with just a word.
"Auntie, I'm not making things hard for you, as long as you cooperate with me on one thing, my brother can go home. What do you think of this condition?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Phoebe Sutton seemed to grasp at a lifeline, "Dirk, tell me, Auntie will definitely do it, will definitely do it..."
Seeing Phoebe Sutton like this.
Dirk Carter felt no sympathy.
He whispered a few words to Phoebe Sutton.
Phoebe Sutton nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, as long as you don't hurt Ramirez, I will comply with everything, I will do everything."
The farce thus concluded.
Walking out of the model house with Caleb Ford, they reached the garden in the community.
Caleb Ford smiled and asked, "It seems the saying is true, the taller the tree grows, the more it catches the wind. You've just been in The County Committee for a few days, and leadership is after you; it seems your path won't be easy from now on."
Dirk Carter said calmly, "To quote you, President Ford, since Clifford Levin has made a move, I, Dirk Carter, naturally can't let it pass unchallenged."
"So what are you going to do next?"
Caleb Ford asked.
Dirk Carter smiled slightly, "Secretary Li will be back from learning tomorrow, since Clifford Levin wants a play, I'll accompany him for a big show, and everyone can enjoy the fun."
Caleb Ford, upon hearing this, also smiled, "Since Brother Dirk is staging the play, I, Caleb Ford, will also stretch my muscles, and keep the atmosphere lively."
