A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 171: The Weight on My Shoulders


Strolling down the streets of Kenton County.

Dirk Carter's mood was somewhat complicated.

He recalled the past, walking aimlessly with his ex-girlfriend Aubrey Yuill.

At that time, he was quite inexperienced.

Returning to this place, time had passed, and everything that should have changed, had changed.

As he walked.

Yves Quill explained the entire situation to Dirk Carter in detail.

He and Bianca Lewis were both teachers at the same elementary school; he taught math, and Bianca taught literature.

They both got in through the same recruitment process.

Perhaps because they taught the same class, they gradually developed a fondness and ended up in a romantic relationship.

Yesterday.

Bianca Lewis came back saying she had to accompany Ivan Pitts to a gathering, and Yves Quill agreed without much thought.

He didn't expect that Bianca Lewis wouldn't come back all night, and no matter how many times he called, her phone was off.

The next morning, when she returned home.

Yves Quill noticed Bianca's unusual behavior; when she left, she was wearing stockings, but when she returned, the stockings were missing, and she excused it by saying she lost them while staying with a friend.

The more Yves thought about it, the more suspicious he felt.

So he secretly contacted Bianca's friend to inquire about the situation.

Only then did he find out that Bianca had lied.

Under his interrogation, Bianca could only tearfully admit that she had been raped by Ivan Pitts the night before.

When Yves heard this, he was furious and wanted to report it to the police, but Bianca stopped him, saying she would confront Ivan Pitts herself.

Yves never expected.

To see the two of them flirting in a snack shop again.

At that time, he couldn't control himself and rushed in, leading to the scene that Dirk witnessed.

At this point, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "Even though the education system in Kenton County is rotten to the core, I never thought such a thing could happen to me."

"Rotten to the core? What do you mean?"

Dirk paused and asked.

Yves immediately realized he had misspoken and was about to think of a way to cover it up when Dirk said, "Just say it as it is, that's why I want you to be my secretary."

Yves hesitated.

Gritting his teeth, he said, "Alright, I'll spill it all..."

What Yves said next truly shattered Dirk's worldview.

Yves told Dirk that incidents like today's were not isolated; the teacher certification in Kenton County was a money-making tool, not just at their school, but at all schools. Either you pay money, or you exchange favors.

Unless the leadership is satisfied.

Only then can you secure a certification.

Besides certification, it's the same story for teacher rankings.

If you want a higher rank, it requires financial backing.

If you have money, you can pass the certification; if not, don't even think about it.

A rotten upper beam results in a crooked lower beam.

This corrupt atmosphere has also spread among teachers.

Since the teachers bought their positions, obviously they want to earn back the money.

Receiving gifts from parents.

Providing paid tutoring.

As long as you pay, anything can be done.

Not only positions of student leaders require money, but even if a student's grades need improvement, with enough money, they can change them to be satisfactory.

Upon hearing this.

Dirk was somewhat puzzled.

He asked, "But according to official data, the education level in Kenton County is quite high, with good results in city or provincial exams."

Yves nodded.

He said, "That's true; to receive more bonuses and to make parents willingly pay, all teachers put immense pressure on students. Ordinary elementary students in Kenton County have to do homework until after eleven at night. With such pressure, how can grades not improve?"

These revelations left Dirk appalled.

He never expected that the ivory tower he thought was pure was filled with the stench of money, suddenly feeling the weight on his shoulders increase significantly.

By evening.

Dirk and the two sisters searched several hotels in a row.

All were fully booked.

Kenton County is a tourist city.

Accommodation is quite scarce.

Not until dinnertime did they find a hotel with just one large bedroom left.

They couldn't sleep on the streets.

Without much discussion, Dirk took the room.

The room wasn't big.

About ten square meters.

A large bed took up most of the space, and with a glass-walled bathroom, there was hardly any room left.

Seeing such a room.

The two sisters were a bit taken aback.

It was so small that there wasn't even room to lay a mat on the floor; how could they sleep?

"Rose... well... you sleep with Dirk, I'll just sit on the chair."

Ewan Forrest, being the elder sister,

And knowing about her sister's relationship with Dirk, suggested proactively.

Rose Forrest blushed instantly upon hearing that.

She hesitated and said, "Sis, you've been driving all day, you're tired. You should sleep with Dirk... I'll just sit and rest."

"You two together."

"You two together then."

The two politeness clashed as they gently pushed back and forth.

Dirk mischievously smiled and said, "This bed is big enough for the three of us. I'll sleep on the edge, and you sisters sleep together; what you need to decide now is who sleeps next to me."

"Big sister sleep."

"Little sister sleep."

Both spoke at the same time yet again.

Dirk waved them off and said, "Alright, alright, since you're both so polite, I'll decide. I'll sleep in the middle; Ewan, you'll sleep on my left; Rose, you'll sleep on my right. How about that, any objections?"

The sisters, in their hearts, actually had their own thoughts.

Hearing Dirk say this, neither objected, implying their silent agreement.

"After a long day, I'll shower first."

With that, Dirk was the first to rush into the bathroom.

The sisters sat on either side of the bed; having grown up together and always being inseparable, but tonight, they seemed like strangers.

When Dirk came out of the shower.

The sisters' faces were even redder.

Because Dirk didn't wear a bathrobe, nor any underwear, just covered his vital parts with a towel before jumping under the covers.

"Ewan, it's your turn."

Dirk pointed to the bathroom and said.

Ewan was stunned, "But I didn't bring pajamas."

"There are two towels inside. I didn't use them, left them for you. I must warn you, I'm a clean freak; don't get into bed if you haven't showered."

With Dirk's words,

Ewan responded and went into the bathroom.

Before the sound of water started.

Dirk and Rose didn't make any moves.

But once the water sounded.

Dirk immediately embraced Rose from behind and pressed her onto the bed, saying, "Rose, it's been so long since I touched you, I've missed you to death."

He was about to kiss her.

Rose pushed Dirk away nervously, whispering, "Sis is showering inside."

"What are you afraid of? She can't hear now. Or is it that you don't miss me?"

Rose's cheeks turned red as she shyly said, "I do."

"How much?"

"A lot, a lot."

"Do you miss me up top or down below?" Dirk persistently asked.

Rose, her face flushed, murmured, "Both up top and down below."

"Then let me feel if you've grown recently?"

As he spoke, Dirk's hand slipped under Rose's clothes, grasping her soft chest and tweaking the tender peak.

Recently.

Rose had been teased by toys and was already unbearably thirsty.

She couldn't endure Dirk's provocations.

With a few teases, she began to moan softly.

Dirk was about to take the next step.

Then the water stopped.

Startled, Rose quickly sat up and tidied her disheveled clothes.
