Did you think such a tragedy would cause a massive uproar in Kenton County?

No, it didn't.

Only ten minutes after the jumping incident, the local police station arrived at the scene.

Soon after, the County Criminal Investigation Division also arrived.

After sealing off the scene.

The police conducted a search of the hotel room.

In the afternoon, a man around forty years old turned himself in at the police station, confessing that he was involved in the jumping incident of Myra Walsh.

He confessed to the police that he and Myra Walsh had been having an affair for a long time.

That afternoon.

He had asked Myra Walsh to meet him at the hotel.

As usual, they had a sexual encounter.

The reason Myra Walsh fell from the hotel window was entirely due to an accident; while they were trying some adventurous positions by the window, an unexpected forceful move led to Myra Walsh slipping and falling to her death.

The police arrested the man on the spot and sent him to the detention center on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

This case went cold after that.

When this case resurfaced, it was already a week later.

It was exactly three days after the jumping incident occurred.

The Discipline Inspection Commission made a decision.

Damon Stafford was punished with a major disciplinary demerit for unauthorized embezzlement of public funds, reduced in administrative rank, and transferred out of the Education Bureau.

On the same day.

Gwendolyn Lewis directly transferred the 540,000 previously allocated for upgrading the Education Bureau's equipment to the Tigron Hill Township government account for the reconstruction costs of Tigron Hill Primary School.

Just half an hour after the funds were transferred.

Rand Quance stormed into Gwendolyn Lewis's office to question her.

Unexpectedly, Gwendolyn Lewis was even more aggressive, standing with her hands on her hips and berating him fiercely. Rand Quance felt utterly helpless, as if he had punched a soft wall, and had no way to handle Gwendolyn Lewis.

That evening.

Dirk Carter lay in bed, unable to sleep.

He reflected deeply on his actions since arriving in Kenton County.

Aside from using unusual methods to win over Gwendolyn Lewis and then framing Damon Stafford, he had accomplished nothing else.

Ivan Pitts was happily continuing his role as his director, completely unfazed by Dirk Carter's provocations.

Despite proposing Yves Quill as his secretary, Russell Sadler kept delaying the procedures, refusing to carry them out.

He couldn't get involved in any work, as everyone reported directly to Rand Quance, and he, as the director, was left isolated.

At that moment.

He felt Donal Lewis's sense of helplessness.

Nominally the principal leader, yet reliant on others to carry out tasks. Without subordinates aligned with his interests, he couldn't maintain control over the Education Bureau.

Aside from Gwendolyn Lewis.

Everyone else had deep-rooted interests tied with Rand Quance and Yorke Payne.

Interests outweighed everything.

Unless all these people were replaced.

It was impossible to shake Rand Quance's position.

Even replacing all those people wouldn't solve it; the entire Kenton County education system was rotten to its core, and to truly change the status quo, there was only one way.

Massive reform.

To achieve massive reform, the first condition was to remove the two major obstacles before him—one was Yorke Payne, and the other was Rand Quance.

Of course.

This was risky.

Yorke Payne had higher-ups.

The leader lurking in the shadows would never allow Dirk Carter to do this.

Growing more frustrated by the minute.

He got out of bed all of a sudden.

He intended to check the fridge for a drink.

Opening the bedroom door, without turning on the light, Dirk Carter, clad only in underwear, staggered into the living room, ready to head for the fridge. Suddenly, he halted with a start.

Before him stood a figure.

A woman.

In the darkness, her face was hard to make out.

But this woman, like him, was naked except for underwear, her chest jiggling noticeably.

The woman, initially in a lazy stance.

Was equally startled upon seeing Dirk Carter, frozen in place.

"Ah..."

"Ah..."

They screamed simultaneously.

Especially the woman.

Her shrill scream echoed throughout the living room.

Immediately, she darted into the kitchen, emerging with a kitchen knife in hand.

"Thief! I'll kill you, you thief!"

Rather than hiding out of fear,

she came right at Dirk Carter, stark naked, with her chest bouncing, kitchen knife raised.

Dirk Carter wasn't foolish enough to stand still and get attacked.

He swiftly dodged behind the sofa.

The woman missed her target.

She circled the sofa, continuing her chase.

Dirk Carter, agile in his movements, ducked under the table as the knife narrowly grazed him.

A soft "thud" was heard.

The knife embedded deeply in the table.

"Damn, are you this ruthless, woman?"

Dirk Carter peeked out from under the table, his blood running cold at the deep cut.

"You're the woman!"

As the knife couldn't be pulled out immediately,

the woman grabbed a dish from the table, hurling it at Dirk Carter.

If he hadn't dodged quickly,

his head would have been cracked open.

Seeing the woman constantly at it, raising another dish for a throw,

Dirk Carter quickly extended his hand, saying, "Can we calm down for a moment?"

"Calm down my ass, you pervert and thief."

The woman had no intention of negotiating.

She hurled another dish his way.

Being prepared this time, Dirk Carter easily dodged it.

"Could you knock it off? I'm neither a thief nor a pervert; I'm the tenant here."

Dirk Carter explained.

The woman didn't listen, continuing to throw dishes, while yelling, "Nonsense, this is my home, which tenant? You're a pervert!"

The fruit platters on the table became her projectiles, crashing into Dirk Carter, leaving him no choice but to duck and run away.

The last dish was tossed.

The table was emptied.

The woman's gaze returned to the knife stuck in the table. Seeing this, Dirk Carter sensed danger and loudly asked, "Christina, you're Christina, right?"

Hearing his words, the woman hesitated.

Seeing her reaction,

Dirk Carter quickly added, "I really am the tenant here, my name's Dirk Carter, Deputy Mayor Ramey arranged for me to stay here."

Deputy Mayor Ramey?

The woman paused.

She ordered, "Stay where you are, I'll turn on the lights."

Dirk Carter's heart skipped a beat.

He shouted, "No..."

The word "No" had barely escaped his lips when it was too late; she suddenly yelped, likely stepping on broken glass on the floor.

Dirk Carter was ready to rush over.

She lifted her foot to check, only to step on another shard, letting out a cry before collapsing to the floor.

Another painful scream filled the space.

She had sat directly onto broken glass.

This was bad.

Dirk Carter was stunned momentarily.

He decided to ignore the chaos around him,

sprinting to her side, lifting her away from the "danger zone."

When Dirk Carter turned on the lights,

her feet and bottom were already drenched in blood.

At that moment,

he recognized her face.

It was indeed Christina Ramey.

Her youthful, alluring body lay fully exposed, with all the right curves, more attractive than her mother's, with a superior figure as well.

"Have you stared enough, still claiming you're not a pervert?"

Kneeling on the sofa, Christina Ramey roared angrily.

Dirk Carter snapped back to reality, saying, "Hold on!"

Then.

He dashed to his bedroom.

Grabbing a first aid kit, he returned, also bringing his T-shirt.

Dirk Carter first put his T-shirt on Christina Ramey,

covering her exposed body.

Then he made her lie down.

Saying, "Let me check your wounds first."

By then, Christina Ramey was in such agony that she was breaking out into cold sweats, continuously groaning as well.

Dirk Carter knelt down.

Noticing the deep cuts on both soles, he said, "I'm going to treat your wounds now, bear with it for a moment."

Then he proceeded to clean with an iodine-soaked cotton swab.

"Ahh, it hurts, it hurts..."

Christina Ramey couldn't hold back, screaming again.
