Penn Vincent glanced at the crowd with some fear.
Especially when he saw Dirk Carter, his expression turned even more fearful.
Trembling, he said, "Well... um, Dirk Carter never... never kidnapped me, I went... I went to The Tonight Club voluntarily."
"Didn't you say Dirk Carter stripped you of your clothes and threatened you physically?"
Caden Dixon asked.
Penn Vincent pressed his lips together and said, "That... that was all nonsense I made up, I... I've already reported this to the investigation team."
Another explosive revelation.
Leaving everyone instantly stunned.
The two accusations against Dirk Carter seemed to be void now.
So doesn't today's committee meeting become a joke?
"Firstly, Dirk Carter hasn't caused any loss to Kenton County; instead, he brought in more investments, so he's a hero and should be rewarded; secondly, he didn't kidnap anyone, so there is no criminal liability, and you can't proceed against him. You all continue the meeting; I'm taking Dirk Carter away."
The woman finished speaking.
She grabbed Dirk Carter's hand and said, "Let's go, accompany me out."
They hadn't moved yet.
Caden Dixon said, "Miss, let me interrupt you, do you know where this is? This is the Kenton County committee meeting."
"I know."
"I mean, this is the power hub of Kenton County. You... you can leave by yourself, but Dirk Carter is an official here, he must stay!"
Caden Dixon stated.
The woman pondered as she held her chin.
Gazing at Gael Bishop, she pointed at Caden Dixon and said, "Uncle Bishop, if that person won't let Dirk Carter go, then how about you not invest? He would become the person causing massive losses to Kenton County, and you could criticize him."
"Alright."
A grand chairman.
Acting childishly like this.
Even agreed to it in front of everyone.
Caden Dixon was fuming.
His eyes nearly bulged out.
But what could he do?
Gael Bishop is the God of Wealth, and no one dares to offend him.
Warren Young cleared his throat and said, "Since these matters have nothing to do with Dirk Carter now, he can go as well."
"You're sensible."
The woman gave a thumbs-up to Warren Young.
She then pulled Dirk Carter, saying, "Let's go, let's go, what's there to enjoy with this group."
Dirk Carter, resigned, was dragged out by the woman.
Once the two disappeared.
Caden Dixon respectfully asked Gael Bishop, "Chairman Bishop, who was that girl just now? Also, what's going on here?"
Gael Bishop, with a sullen face, asked, "Do you know the Verdant Group?"
"Verdant Group, yes, I remember the CEO of Verdant Group is the richest person in Serenity State."
Caden Dixon nodded and said.
Gael Bishop exhaled a long breath and said, "That girl just now is Dorothy Zechariah, she's the only daughter of Barron Zechariah of the Verdant Group and the future heir of the company."
What?
Once this identity was revealed.
Everyone present was stunned.
Verdant Group's market value is in the billions, and Barron Zechariah's personal assets exceed billions.
Not just the richest in Serenity State, it's a top-tier existence nationwide.
No one dares challenge such a colossal entity.
Caden Dixon was initially full of anger.
But after learning Dorothy's identity, he had to swallow his rage, thinking, what charm does Dirk Carter have to attract such an impressive heiress?
Dirk Carter was dragged along by Dorothy Zechariah all the way.
Arriving at the County Committee courtyard.
Dirk Carter freed himself from her grip and asked, "Why are you here?"
"To save you."
Dorothy fluttered her eyelashes and replied.
Dirk Carter was taken aback, asking, "Save me? You knew about my situation?"
"Otherwise, how could I get my Uncle Bishop to reinvest?"
"He's your uncle?"
"No, just a sidekick of my dad's, I've known him for a long time."
Dorothy tilted her head and said.
"No, Dorothy, how long has it been since we met, how did you know about my matter?"
Dirk Carter was still a bit puzzled.
Dorothy smiled and said, "Three months and eleven days. I recently went abroad, and just after coming back a few days, I heard about your situation, so I came looking for you. Last time you saved my life, I should do something in return, right?"
"And your dad..."
At this moment, Dirk Carter still remembered what Barron Zechariah had told him last time.
Dorothy giggled and said, "My dad, he's still abroad doing business, he'll be back in a week, so I came to pick you up."
"Pick me up? For what?"
Dirk Carter asked.
"To a matchmaking meeting," Dorothy said playfully.
Dirk Carter couldn't hold back, started coughing, and before he could speak, Dorothy quickly waved her hand, saying, "You misunderstood, not a matchmaking between you and me, but to accompany me to one."
"Why involve me in your matchmaking?"
Dirk Carter understood and asked.
Dorothy pouted and said, "I don't like that person, so I want you to pretend to be my boyfriend, accompany me to the matchmaking, and ruin this marriage arrangement."
"There are so many men in the world, does it have to be me for this?"
"I don't know anyone else, I can only ask you to come with me, and I just saved you, can't you accompany me this once?"
Dirk Carter waved his hand, saying, "A favor is a favor, you just mentioned you paid back my life-saving grace, now it's turning into my help for you, isn't it..."
"Just say what you want, I can give you anything."
Dorothy raised her head and said.
Dirk Carter thought for a moment, scanning Dorothy up and down.
Seeing this, Dorothy instantly recalled their past ambiguous moments, blushing, said, "Except for me, everything else is fine."
"Then just pay me."
Dirk Carter said.
Hearing this, Dorothy frowned and asked, "Are you that money-minded?"
"Who doesn't love money?"
"Then, how do you suggest I pay?"
"Hmm... a hundred bucks a minute, how about that?"
"Alright, let's settle on that."
Expecting Dorothy to refuse, as a hundred bucks a minute would be 6000 per hour, easily a two-hour dinner would be 12000.
Unexpectedly, Dorothy agreed without the slightest hesitation.
Dammit, asked too little.
Dirk Carter muttered to himself.
"Come on, why are you still standing there, get in the car."
Dorothy helped him by opening the car door.
Dirk Carter said, "Dorothy, are we going to the matchmaking now?"
"No, it's in the evening."
"Oh, can we do this, I have a few things to deal with first, if you give me the time and place, I'll go by myself later," Dirk Carter suggested.
Dorothy knew Dirk Carter was not someone to break promises.
She nodded, saying, "Okay, 7 PM, Ardmore City, at The Golden Goblet Grand Hotel, just call me when you arrive."
"Alright, don't worry, I'll be on time."
After saying goodbye to Dorothy.
Dirk Carter quickly hailed a cab and headed to Christina Ramey's place.
Before the committee meeting started, Dirk Carter received a text from Christina saying she had to leave tonight and wanted to see him one last time.
Just as he was about to knock on the door.
He found the door slightly ajar.
Gently pushing it open.
He saw Christina Ramey sitting on the sofa.
"You're here?"
Christina smiled and asked.
Dirk Carter said, "Um... when you texted me I was in a meeting, so..."
"It's okay, come over."
After Dirk Carter shut the door.
Christina stood up.
She was only wearing a very thin nightgown.
Before Dirk Carter, she took off the nightgown and let it slip to the floor.
A perfect body appeared before Dirk Carter once more.
Then.
She slowly lay on the sofa.
Saying, "My soles and butt are injured, but I really want to bathe now, can you take me?"
