A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 334: There Must Be Something Fishy


This group of people.

Some were snapping photos with their cameras.

Others were waving light-up signs and shouting.

Surrounding them were several men dressed just like the one blocking the door; judging by their attire, they must be bodyguards.

Together, they surrounded a young girl.

She appeared to be in her early twenties.

The young girl wore casual clothes, and a woman beside her timidly held her bag, looking rather arrogant.

Dirk Carter shuddered and remembered—the woman should be Ivy Lewis, whom Catherine Sawyer had mentioned to him last time, also one of the newly popular artists from Lanfar Media.

"Miss Lewis is here, come out quickly!"

The bodyguard blocking the door shouted at Dirk Carter again.

Dirk Carter said, "If she's coming, let her come. We got here first, let's just squeeze in together."

"What identity do you have to ride the elevator with Miss Lewis?"

The bodyguard saw that Dirk Carter wouldn't budge.

He became anxious too.

Just as he was about to reach out and grab Dirk Carter.

Luna sprang into action.

She intercepted his wrist mid-air, easily twisted it, causing the bodyguard's body to bend down, grimacing and shouting.

Dirk Carter was stunned and asked, "What kind of soldier are you? You're this strong?"

"Reconnaissance soldier!"

Luna replied.

Dirk Carter was shocked once more.

He really hadn't heard of female reconnaissance soldiers before.

At this time.

Ivy Lewis, surrounded by the crowd, had already reached the elevator door.

Seeing her bodyguard caught.

She frowned and asked, "What's going on?"

"Miss Lewis, I told them to get out, but they wouldn't, they even... they even attacked me."

The bodyguard complained.

Only to see Ivy Lewis glance at Dirk Carter and Luna, saying, "If you know what's good for you, get out, or don't blame me for being rude."

A third-rate celebrity acting this entitled?

Dirk Carter had truly never heard of such a thing.

He signaled Luna with a look, and Luna released the bodyguard's hand.

Dirk Carter said, "I remember this is a public elevator, right? If you don't want to ride with me, just wait for the next one."

After speaking, he kicked the bodyguard in the rear, causing him to stumble out.

As if he had suffered humiliation.

Ivy Lewis glared at Dirk Carter and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

"Yes, a third-rate little star."

Dirk Carter replied.

Estimates are that someone like a celebrity least likes to hear such words; biting her teeth, she told the nearby bodyguards, "Go, teach him a lesson!"

Four or five bodyguards, hearing this, charged into the elevator without another word.

Dirk Carter and Luna simultaneously sprang into action.

Before seeing what happened, the elevator door closed.

Then, they knew nothing.

When the elevator returned to the ground floor, the four or five bodyguards inside were already lying in various awkward positions, moaning miserably, unable even to muster the strength to stand up.

Ivy Lewis stomped her foot, angrily said, "Notify the hotel, search for them, even if you have to dig three feet underground, find that pair of scoundrels for me..."

As she was still fuming.

Dirk Carter had already reached the eleventh floor where Catherine and others were staying.

The elevator door opened.

Catherine was already waiting at the door.

Seeing Dirk Carter, she was naturally filled with excitement.

"Is everyone here?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Catherine nodded, saying, "Inside is a reception room, the few people who came over are all waiting inside for you, Corinne is there too."

"Alright, let's go."

Dirk Carter waved his hand and said.

Under Catherine's leadership.

Dirk Carter walked into the reception room.

The three young artists waiting inside, along with Corrine Quance, stood up together.

Catherine had already informed them in advance, so these artists who had never met him knew the young man before them was the behind-the-scenes boss of Lanfar Media.

They each showed considerable respect.

Corrine Quance introduced them to Dirk Carter one by one; just as she hadn't finished, they heard hurried footsteps at the door, followed by a plaintive voice saying, "Catherine, I was bullied downstairs, a pair of jerks bullied me!"

Before Catherine could speak.

Dirk Carter turned around and looked at the complaining Ivy Lewis, asking, "Are the pair of jerks you mentioned referring to me?"

Ivy Lewis froze.

Suddenly raised her hand and angrily pointed at Dirk Carter, shouting angrily, "Catherine, it's him, it's this bastard who bullied me."

Catherine was about to speak.

Dirk Carter threw a look at her.

She promptly shut her mouth.

Dirk Carter asked, "Miss Lewis, may I ask how I bullied you?"

"You... you hit my bodyguards!"

Ivy Lewis said.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly and said, "Why didn't you mention that your people stopped me from getting on the elevator?"

"Catherine, it's this man, he bullied me, can't you help me teach him a lesson?"

Unable to out-argue Dirk Carter.

Ivy Lewis began to whine at Catherine Sawyer.

At that moment.

Corrine Quance walked over to Ivy Lewis, reached her, and suddenly extended her hand, delivering a slap, angrily said, "How many times have I told you to keep a low profile outside? You can ride the elevator, but others can't?"

The angry look of Corrine Quance.

It was Dirk Carter's first time seeing it.

It even scared him.

Of course, Ivy Lewis was also quite frightened, and for a while, she didn't dare to speak.

Catherine stern-faced, asked, "Lewis, what did I tell you today, and where did you go?"

"You said our boss was coming, but I went to meet my fans outside; hadn't the boss not arrived yet?"

Ivy Lewis said grievancely.

Catherine pointed to Dirk Carter, saying, "That's him."

At that moment.

Ivy Lewis was stunned.

Blinking a few times, she reassessed the young Dirk Carter, evidently still somewhat skeptical.

Now she finally understood why Corrine Quance hit her.

"Boss, I'm sorry, sorry, I was wrong, sorry, I'll never dare again."

Clearly, Ivy Lewis was quick to react.

Immediately she went to Dirk Carter, making several ninety-degree bows.

"Fine, for today's concert, you don't need to go on stage, just rest in your room."

Corrine Quance waved her hand and said.

Although Ivy Lewis's face was full of grievance, she still nodded and said, "Okay, Corrine."

After speaking, she turned and left.

Then Corrine Quance waved a hand to the remaining people, saying, "You all also prepare, the concert starts in more than half an hour, we'll gather downstairs in ten minutes."

With a whoosh, everyone dispersed.

Seeing Corrine Quance looking worried, Dirk Carter asked, "Why do you seem like you're worried about something."

Corrine Quance asked, "Do you still remember that Felix Chandler from last time?"

"Felix Chandler? From Mirena Group?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Corrine Quance nodded, saying, "It's him, our concert this time is hosted by Ronan City Pontoon Culture Media Co., and I just got the news that the actual controller of Pontoon Culture is Felix Chandler."

Felix Chandler had a grudge with them.

He was certainly not collaborating for no reason.

And deliberately hid in the background.

There's definitely intrigue here.

"Do you think he would mess with this concert?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Corrine Quance nodded.

Said, "All the money we've invested in the new movie premieres in a few days, if the concert has a scandal or issue at this time, it will definitely impact the movie greatly, with no doubt, Lanfar Group's bankruptcy will be inevitable."

Dirk Carter was shocked inside.

Asked, "Then how would they mess with it?"

Corrine Quance shook her head, saying, "I've been thinking about it for half a day and still can't come up with anything, but if they're going to sabotage it, it will definitely be severe; otherwise, it wouldn't impact the movie significantly."

Dirk Carter suddenly shivered, asking, "How long did you prepare for this concert?"
