Dirk Carter was also a bit stunned at the time.

By the time he realized it, Dorothy Zechariah was already demanding.

His heart trembled.

He also went along with it.

Without any warning, the two embraced each other in an earth-shattering deep kiss.

For a full five minutes.

Only then did they both finally part.

Dorothy Zechariah said, "Dirk, I already know the reason you distanced yourself from me before. Dad told me. The first time we met, he warned you and told you to stay away from me, didn't he?"

This statement shocked Dirk Carter somewhat.

He didn't know what had happened, or why Barron Zechariah would tell Dorothy such a thing.

"After the last time we separated, I've been downhearted. Dad noticed my unusual behavior. Under his persistent questioning, I finally told him I liked you."

"Your dad didn't agree, did he?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dorothy Zechariah nodded disappointedly and said, "He said he won't interfere with our dating, but he doesn't agree with you becoming part of our family."

As she said this, Dorothy Zechariah's eyes reddened.

Dirk Carter sighed deeply and asked, "He won't interfere with us dating, meaning we can fool around, but not get serious, right?"

"Right!"

Dorothy Zechariah answered without any hesitation.

"But there must be conditions, right?"

"Yes, as long as I agree to take over Verdant Group. I agreed."

Dorothy Zechariah said.

This answer once again shocked Dirk Carter.

Dorothy had said before that she didn't want to take over the group. She didn't want to be bound by the company for her whole life, just like her father, without freedom and under immense pressure every day; though rich, she'd be like a puppet.

But now, for Dirk Carter, she actually gave in.

A wave of emotion filled his heart.

Hugging Dorothy in his arms, he said, "Dorothy, honestly, I'm not good enough for you."

"It's okay. I also know there's no hope for us to be together, but if I don't strive for even a short-lived happiness, I would have failed too much. I always wanted to find you in Ardmore City, but I couldn't muster up the courage. Fate has been kind to me, letting us meet again, and that's enough."

Dorothy's words came from the heart.

Their estrangement vanished completely in that instant.

They talked a lot on the way.

A two-hour drive finished in the blink of an eye.

After arriving at the dorm in Ardmore City.

Dorothy told the two bodyguards, "You two go back first. Come back to get me when I call you."

The bodyguards were somewhat hesitant.

But they left under Dorothy's stern command.

Watching the car disappear, Dirk Carter asked, "Are you planning to stay with me?"

Dorothy smiled and asked, "What? I'm not welcome?"

"Of course you are, but your dad..."

"Forget about him, let's go."

Seeing Dorothy's willful demeanor, Dirk Carter was momentarily at a loss for words.

By now, it was around midnight.

Thankfully, the apartment at Clearwind Gardens had two bedrooms and a living room.

Dirk Carter arranged the room for Dorothy.

Handing her some new towels and toiletries, they each went to their own rooms to rest.

Lying in bed, Dirk Carter tossed and turned, unable to sleep. It wasn't because Dorothy disrupted his mind, but because he was plotting how to execute his upcoming plan.

A good plan is flashy, but a better plan is straightforward and bold.

In the coming days.

Corinne Quance would invite Erica Linden to Ardmore City.

He deliberately let the security guards suspect that Erica might be messing around outside.

As a result, the already suspicious Benson Caldwell would follow Erica here.

By that time, Dirk Carter planned to use brute force to keep Benson Caldwell and then stir up a storm to shake the upper echelons.

To be honest.

This plan was quite risky.

In this contest, Dirk Carter had low odds of winning. If he failed, not only would his career in politics be over, but he himself would also fall into a bottomless pit.

"Can I come in?"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the bedroom door.

It was Dorothy's voice.

Dirk Carter was stunned.

He got up from the bed, turned on the bedside lamp, and said, "It's not locked."

With a click.

The door handle turned.

Wrapped in a bath towel, Dorothy walked in barefoot.

Drops of water clung to her body, her skin as smooth as polished jade, with a faint blush like peach blossoms, delicate and enchanting.

Her long hair was wet and clung to her back, flowing like a waterfall, each strand sparkling with tiny droplets, looking even more pristine and ethereal under the moonlight.

The bath towel was short.

It barely reached her thighs.

Her long legs swayed in front of him.

Causing Dirk Carter to involuntarily marvel, what a beautiful scene of a beauty out of the bath.

Licking his lips, Dirk Carter asked, "What's up?"

Dorothy, a bit shy, timidly said, "I... I want to sleep with you."

Sleep together?

Dirk Carter's heart skipped a beat.

Before he could figure out how to respond.

The bath towel unfolded in Dorothy's hands.

And landed directly on the floor.

A breathtakingly beautiful body was exposed before his eyes.

Delicate and towering breasts, untouched valleys.

A body without a hint of excess flesh.

It was as if the heavens had piled the best "material" onto this woman, exuding an understated yet captivating beauty.

She took a step forward.

Slowly approaching Dirk Carter.

In that moment, Dirk Carter felt as if his breath had stopped.

Just a few hours ago, he had just left the body of his childhood idol.

Even though Erica Linden's figure had amazed him, compared to Dorothy, it was incomparable.

She sat down beside Dirk Carter, her movements awkward and shy, murmuring, "Dirk, will you have me?"

Dirk Carter knew.

At that moment, if he nodded.

This billion-dollar heiress could be under him tonight.

But he didn't want to do that.

Dorothy was different from other women. She was devoted and pure. Once he had her, she would be dedicated to him for life.

There was no future for the two of them.

Though there were many women with whom there was also no future, this was different.

"Can I hold you while we sleep?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Upon hearing this, Dorothy shivered and asked, "Don't you want me?"

"No, I am a man, a normal man. Any man would like your body, and I'm no exception. You are like a beautifully packaged doll. I think if we're going to open it, it should be on an even more wonderful night, what do you say?"

True to form, Dirk Carter.

Just after finishing his elaborate words.

Dorothy shyly said, "I'll listen to you."
