A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 40: Turning the Tables


After all, it was the first time.

Even though it was voluntary.

When truly facing the onslaught of the storm, Zoey was still quite nervous.

Even so, Zoey parted her legs...

"Dirk, be gentle."

Realizing Zoey's fear.

Dirk's hand gently caressed her fair body.

"Sis, I won't hurt you."

With such reassurance, Zoey's tension eased considerably.

When the two finally became one.

Zoey experienced for the first time how joyful it truly was to be so intimately connected.

Twelve years had passed, wasted just like that.

How many delightful nights had she missed?

One round finished.

Zoey curled up in Dirk's arms.

Only then did Dirk notice that Zoey's eyes were filled with tears.

He sprang up in surprise.

Asked, "Sis, did I hurt you?"

Zoey shook her head.

Said, "No, I'm very happy, I just feel a bit sorry for myself, how much I've missed all these years."

Dirk reached out, his hand soothingly roaming over Zoey, comforting her: "Sis, it's okay, it's not too late to start now, whenever you need, your brother will be there."

"Dirk, you're so good, I'm afraid I can't do without you."

"Isn't that great? Sis, do you want more?"

Dirk asked teasingly.

Zoey, feeling a bit shy, buried her head in Dirk's chest and nodded.

"Sis, you have to say it out loud, if you don't, how will I know if you want it?"

"You naughty, smelly brother, yes, I want more..."

With Dirk's teasing, Zoey was unable to resist.

She could only muster her courage to say it out loud.

"As you wish, sis, here I come..."

Another round of storm ensued.

After seeing Zoey off, it was already noon.

Dirk called Darius Young.

Half an hour later, Darius arrived.

After handing over Calvert Grant to Darius, Dirk gave a few more instructions, then hurriedly got on his motorcycle and headed to the Work Safety Administration.

This afternoon, another big play was about to unfold.

In the teahouse of the local eatery.

Alfie Grant was leisurely sipping tea.

Two hours had passed.

It seemed Calvert's matter had been taken care of.

He was just about to find a room for a nap.

When he heard footsteps in the hallway.

A creak.

The teahouse door was pushed open.

Zoey appeared before him.

Upon closer inspection, he realized that Zoey had changed her clothes.

Inside, he was delighted, but he pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Why so long? Where's the person I asked you to pick up?"

Zoey replied expressionlessly, "I didn't pick them up."

"Didn't pick them up? Then where did you go?"

Although Alfie's expression was angry, he knew better than anyone else what was happening.

Zoey sat down.

She downed a cup of tea and said, "I was raped by Calvert."

"What?"

Pretending to be very shocked, Alfie leaped to his feet.

Stunned for a moment.

Furiously he said, "That bastard Calvert, I'm going to waste him now, wait here for me, I'll bring him over!"

He was about to storm out.

Zoey said, "No need, Calvert has already been taken away."

"Taken away? By whom?"

If the earlier panic was feigned, this news made him genuinely uneasy.

"Dirk!"

"Dirk? The one from the Work Safety Administration?"

"Yes!"

Zoey said.

Alfie's mind was suddenly in turmoil.

He looked at Zoey and asked, "How did Dirk appear in Xiaowang Village?"

"I don't know, I was tied up by Calvert, then he assaulted me, I called for help but no one came, Dirk appeared and took Calvert away, he said he would give me justice."

Just as Zoey finished speaking.

Alfie picked her up.

"What are you doing?"

Zoey asked.

With an angry face, Alfie ordered, "Take off your pants."

Zoey did not resist, obediently following his order.

After removing her pants, she even deliberately parted her legs.

Alfie crouched down, inspecting closely, and indeed, her body bore obvious signs of having been violated, meaning Calvert's rape was successful.

It was supposed to be a good thing.

But now Calvert had fallen into Dirk's hands?

How could this happen?

He knew Calvert, he seemed brave but was actually a coward.

Once Dirk found out that he was the mastermind behind this, wouldn't that spell his doom?

"You're the one who ordered Calvert to rape me, right?"

As his heart began to race, Zoey suddenly asked without warning.

"What are you talking about? You're my wife?"

Alfie replied, clearly lacking confidence.

"Fine, if you say it wasn't, it wasn't. Anyway, Dirk will help me find out the truth."

After leaving this remark, Zoey walked away.

Alfie stood there stunned for a long time, then slumped into a chair with a thud.

"It's over, it's really over this time, how could a wild card come out of nowhere and catch Calvert? What do I do now? Forget about becoming the permanent deputy county governor, if this gets exposed, I can't even keep my position as head of the organization department."

After mumbling this.

He quickly dialed Kian Holden's number.

Upon learning of the situation, Kian was also frightened.

He asked, "Do you think Zoey and Dirk might have teamed up?"

Alfie quickly said, "Impossible, I don't know Dirk, but Zoey would never betray me, besides, only the two of us know about this, if you didn't sell me out, then this is just a coincidence."

This statement made Kian a bit flustered.

He quickly said, "Of course I wouldn't sell you out, right now there are two options, first, I can find someone to forcibly bring Calvert back, second, we can make nice with Dirk."

Alfie sighed.

Said, "Don't make it any bigger, since Calvert is in Dirk's hands, he will definitely contact me."

After hanging up the phone.

Alfie collapsed into the chair.

At that moment, he could no longer calm down.

He knew this was no small matter.

If Calvert couldn't hold out, he might end up in prison.

At two in the afternoon.

In Colette Wagner's office.

The Work Safety Administration's disciplinary inspection team members had all gathered.

Just now, Dirk had issued an order as the deputy director.

Requesting the disciplinary team to arrest Gilroy Thompson.

This decision put Colette in a difficult position.

Arresting Gilroy Thompson would put her at odds with Adair Meyer.

But if she didn't arrest him, her career would be ruined.

She might not even be able to save her family.

So she had no choice.

On second thought, this might be a good thing.

Dirk was overestimating himself, going after Adair Meyer's people right away; isn't this a death wish?

By then, when Adair Meyer gets thoroughly enraged and deals with Dirk, it would have nothing to do with her.

Thinking this, on the way to the operation, she secretly sent a text message to Adair Meyer.

The disciplinary team had already tracked down Gilroy Thompson's location.

At this moment, he was in a hotel room.

With him, there were three women.
