The woman in front of him, Catherine, was wearing a black and white maid's outfit.

The top was mostly lace, with trimmings, and her curves subtly showed through.

The bottom was a short skirt.

It reached to the top of her thighs.

A slight movement would reveal everything.

Along with the white headband she wore.

At this moment, Catherine was even more tempting than she was in the bikini yesterday.

"Master, you helped me and saved me. From today on, Catherine will take care of your daily needs until the hundred thousand is paid off."

She slowly walked over.

Then she knelt in front of Dirk Carter, her knees on the floor.

"Catherine, there's no need for this. The hundred thousand, it's a gift from me to you."

"No, Catherine nearly caused you harm, yet you helped me like this. You are a good person, I can't take your money. Master, from now on, Catherine is yours."

After speaking.

Her hands reached for Dirk Carter's belt.

Gently undoing it, she lowered her head.

Though there was a fierce battle last night.

Today this stimulation ignited that nameless flame once again.

Dirk Carter lifted Catherine up and pushed her onto the sofa...

Due to an injury.

Delilah Goodman granted him permission to rest at home for two days.

On the afternoon of Tuesday.

Dirk Carter was enjoying Catherine's massage when an urgent call came in.

He saw it was Lauren Radford's number.

Dirk Carter sat up.

"Hello, Team Leader Lauren."

"Dirk Carter, are you free?"

"Hmm... Is Team Leader Lauren looking to question me?"

"No, you're mistaken. I just have something I want to discuss with you privately, just between the two of us."

Just the two of us?

Honestly speaking.

For Dirk Carter.

At this moment, Lauren Radford was like a ticking time bomb.

Victor Ford's matter was just resolved, who knows what Lauren Radford is hiding?

After some contemplation, he finally chose to agree, as avoiding problems won't resolve them.

"Alright, tell me the time and place, and I'll be there on time."

Dirk Carter said.

On the phone, Lauren Radford paused and said, "There's an Antiquity Cafe on Newbridge Road, let's meet there at eight tonight."

"Alright, see you there."

After hanging up, Dirk Carter felt apprehensive again.

Hilliard Hall's matter, although it was a strong weapon in his hand.

However, the other party was a deputy county chief with significant power.

And another was a team leader of the investigation unit.

Any one of them could ruin him. At that moment, he suddenly felt that revealing Hilliard Hall's affair was a bad move.

But at this point.

He could only brace himself and face it.

After all, at that time, he had no other choice.

At eight in the evening.

Dirk Carter arrived at the entrance of the cafe.

At this time, a waiter walked over.

Asked, "Are you Mr. Dirk Carter?"

"I am."

"Then please follow me."

Led by the waiter.

Dirk Carter arrived at the last private room in the cafe.

After pushing the door open.

Lauren Radford was already waiting inside.

Today she wore a loose dress.

The neckline was low-cut.

Just enough to show off her most proud asset.

One must admit, Lauren Radford was quite attractive in the political scene.

"I wasn't sure what you'd like to drink, so I ordered at random."

Seeing Dirk Carter, Lauren Radford pointed to the seat across from her. Indeed, a cup of coffee was already placed there.

"Team Leader Lauren surely didn't invite me just for coffee, right?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Lauren Radford smiled sweetly and asked, "Why? Can't I just invite you out for a cup of coffee?"

"Of course, any invitation from sister, your younger brother would never refuse."

Dirk Carter said.

Lauren Radford's face shifted slightly.

Paused for a moment, then said, "That 'sister' makes me feel at a loss for words facing you, I'm sorry about the Victor Ford matter."

This statement.

Made Dirk Carter pause.

The Victor Ford issue was like breaking the paper-thin window, and once punctured, it held new meaning.

He hadn't expected Lauren Radford to admit it directly.

Quickly, he smiled and said, "Sister must be testing me, right?"

"You're very smart, and articulate."

Lauren Radford nodded slightly.

Then paused, her expression becoming serious as she pondered.

Suddenly, she reached behind herself, and with a ripping sound, the zipper of her dress was undone.

What was she doing?

Dirk Carter was puzzled.

Lauren Radford stood up.

Walked aside, shrugged her shoulders, and the entire dress slipped off her body.

Dirk Carter was stunned.

Not because of Lauren Radford's sudden undressing.

But because underneath the dress, she was wearing nothing at all.

Most importantly, Dirk Carter saw her entire body covered with wounds, some very shallow and almost healed, and others were old scars, permanently etched.

And most shockingly, the innermost part of her thighs was bruised and scratched, disturbingly so.

"Sister, you are…"

"See these wounds? Shane Vincent left them."

Lauren Radford's words were like a thunderclap.

Dirk Carter's mind buzzed and went blank.

"At 26, Shane Vincent came to the prosecutor's office investigating..."

During the following time.

Lauren Radford, without any emotion, recounted her past with Shane Vincent, piece by piece.

Dirk Carter, who was already shocked enough, was now utterly flabbergasted by her experiences over the years.

Were it not for the scars before his eyes.

He might really have thought it was another trap.

The whole process took about ten minutes, during which Lauren Radford didn't cry once, yet tears still streamed down.

Dirk Carter couldn't bear it.

He crouched down.

Picked the dress up from the floor, gently helped Lauren Radford put it on.

Then zipped it up for her and helped her sit down.

Asked, "Sister, why are you telling me all this?"

"I want you to save me."

"Save you? Sister, are you kidding? I'm struggling to protect myself right now; besides, Shane Vincent is likely to be promoted next to a permanent deputy county chief, ten of me wouldn't be his match."

Seeing Dirk Carter refuse.

Lauren Radford panicked.

Having revealed such a significant secret, if Dirk Carter didn't help her, she truly had no way out.

She grabbed Dirk Carter's hand, urgently saying, "Dirk Carter, please help sister, I really can't live like this anymore. If you help me, I will help you solve the investigation issue."

"Sister, it's not that I won't help you, I'm truly powerless."

Dirk Carter said.

Lauren Radford's mind spun.

Dirk Carter was already her last hope, she couldn't give up.

She mustered her courage and said, "As long as you help sister, I'll give you everything, including myself, I can do anything. Although I'm a few years older than you, I can still make you feel very good."

After saying this, she impatiently reached out and with a ripping sound, unzipped the dress again.
