A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 43: Heavenly Killer Lone Star


"Adair Meyer's father, Juwan Meyer, is a city leader. Do you think your newspaper has the guts to offend him?"

Dirk Carter's words made Blue Green understand immediately.

"Are you doing this to protect me?"

"Not entirely, given the current situation, I'm still not his match. Since I'm going to survive in the Work Safety Administration, I can't push him too hard. Otherwise, he still has the ability to drag me down with him. I must be cautious."

Hearing these words.

Blue Green sighed.

Said, "It's said that in the political arena, you have to think three steps ahead. At first, I didn't believe you were the new deputy director. Now I believe it. Alright, I'm going back to write my article. See you if we have the chance."

"See you if we have the chance."

After Dirk Carter waved his hand, Blue Green took a taxi and left.

An episode thus came to an end.

Early the next morning.

Dirk Carter had just walked through the gates of the Work Safety Administration.

Many colleagues who worked with him greeted him warmly.

After entering the office.

Heads of various departments actively reported their work.

Of course, work reporting was just an excuse, it was more about building a connection.

Before this, everyone knew Adair Meyer was the overlord of the Work Safety Administration. Dirk Carter's sudden rise turned the administration upside down, especially for those whom Adair Meyer didn't favor; they finally found someone to align with.

Around ten in the morning.

Dougray Hayes, the Party Secretary and Director of the Work Safety Administration, held a party committee meeting.

At the meeting, Dougray Hayes announced the organization department's appointment of Dirk Carter.

However, there was not a word mentioned about Gilroy Thompson being investigated by the anti-corruption bureau.

As if he wasn't interested in the matter at all.

If Dirk Carter was "riding high," then Adair Meyer was having "one misfortune after another during a rainy night."

The intended intimidation failed.

He also lost a critical "General."

More importantly, the profit chain of selling licenses was completely broken.

Just this morning, three people from the comprehensive department were taken away by the anti-corruption bureau.

The loyal followers he painstakingly cultivated were uprooted.

A morning filled with bad news.

Had already pushed him to the brink of losing it.

Pacing back and forth in the office for half a day.

He picked up the phone on the desk, dialed a number, and said, "Come to my office."

Three minutes later.

The office door was pushed open.

A woman elegantly walked in.

The woman seemed to be in her twenties, wearing a spaghetti strap dress with a small jacket on top, youthful yet alluring.

The two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

When the woman entered.

Adair Meyer moved to the sofa and sprawled out.

The woman walked straight to Adair Meyer's knees and knelt down.

With her slender, pale fingers, she unzipped his pants, then tidied her hair with her hands before lowering her head.

As the woman's head bobbed.

Adair Meyer's sullen expression gradually relaxed.

Just when he felt a surge of energy about to burst from within, suddenly, the office door opened without warning.

"Adair..."

Another woman appeared at the door.

She barely got out a single word before being stunned by the scene in front of her.

The smile on her face instantly vanished.

Equally shocked was the nearly erupting Adair Meyer.

Seeing the woman at the door, his expression twitched, and he quickly pushed away the woman between his legs, zipping up.

"Continue."

The woman left this sentence and turned to leave.

Adair Meyer panicked.

Chasing after her while shouting, "Sierra, Sierra, you misunderstood, Sierra..."

In the hallway, the woman stopped.

Turning around, she looked at Adair Meyer, whose face was flushed, and smirked coldly, asking, "Misunderstood? Come on, explain it to me, what did I misunderstand? Was she just giving you a lower-body massage?"

Adair Meyer really didn't know how to explain.

He stammered a couple of times but couldn't manage to say anything coherent.

"Alright, you don't need to explain anything, we're breaking up."

The woman said a bit disappointedly, seeing Adair Meyer in such a state.

Adair Meyer grabbed the woman's hand and said, "Okay, stop being unreasonable. Men always have some situations to deal with. Why are you making a fuss?"

"I'm being unreasonable? Adair Meyer, how could you say such things?"

Major issues being glossed over so lightly, the woman was clearly not satisfied.

"That's enough, Sierra Vincent, don't think you're so special. My favoring you is good fortune for you. You're just a White Tiger Girl, what are you whining about? Without me, do you really think someone with great conditions will fancy you?"

No more pretense, cards on the table.

This woman in front of him was none other than Shane Vincent's daughter, Sierra Vincent.

His words struck Sierra Vincent's soft spot.

Sierra's brows furrowed in anger.

She looked at Adair Meyer and asked, "How did you know I am... am... a White...?"

Adair Meyer sneered.

He said, "Did you really think you're some pure jade? Since I decided to pursue you, I certainly looked into your background. I not only know you're a White Tiger, but I also know how your mother died, how your first love died. Being pretty is useless. Do you think anyone dares to touch you?"

This time, Adair Meyer's words not only struck her heart but also tore open Sierra's wounds.

The former Sierra Vincent wasn't like this.

There was a time when she was also a bright and cheerful girl.

At age 16, her mother took her on an outing, and while playing by the lake, Sierra accidentally fell into the water.

Not knowing how to swim, she struggled for a long time before her mother noticed.

To save her daughter, her equally unswimming mother plunged into the water.

As a result, Sierra was saved, but her mother closed her eyes forever.

That same year, a fortune-teller told Shane Vincent that his daughter Sierra Vincent was a Heavenly Killer Lone Star, a born nemesis, destined to bring disaster to parents, husbands, anyone close to her.

Shane Vincent was extremely superstitious.

Although he doted on his motherless daughter.

From that moment on, Shane started having Sierra board, and they rarely saw each other.

At age 19.

Sierra Vincent had a boyfriend in college.

This was her first love.

Her relationship with her boyfriend was very good.

But unexpectedly, their relationship only lasted six months before her first love encountered a robbery on his way home from work-study, was stabbed in the chest, and died tragically.

Recalling the fortune-teller's words, Sierra Vincent even began to doubt herself.

From then on, she severed her feelings.

Equipped herself with all sorts of thorns.

Didn't get close to anyone, until a few months ago, Adair Meyer pursued her fervently.

Her arid emotions were rekindled; Sierra Vincent was finally moved by Adair Meyer, and they started dating.

"You knew I was a Heavenly Killer Lone Star, so why did you pursue me?"

When asking this question, Sierra Vincent's heart was already breaking.

Adair Meyer sneered, "Why else? Of course, because of your father. Although your father fears you, you are still his only daughter. Shane Vincent may not mean much compared to The Meyer Family, but in Stillwater County, he can certainly do me some favors."

"You... you're shameless!"

Sierra Vincent gritted her teeth and cursed angrily.

Adair Meyer sneered, saying, "Alright, I'm shameless, okay? No matter how shameless I am, I'm still better than your baldness, right? Sierra Vincent, if you want to break up with me, that's your loss. Besides me, in all of Stillwater County, can you find any decent man who would touch you? Oh, maybe your shop's little punks might be interested in you, hahaha..."

"Nobody wants me, right? Come on, come with me!"

Saying that, Sierra Vincent grabbed Adair Meyer's arm and pulled him towards Dirk Carter's office.
