A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 52: Do You Dare Hit Me?


"Crack!"

There wasn't the slightest hesitation.

The whip in Shane Vincent's hand lashed across Lauren Radford's body.

Lauren let out a soft whimper.

A red mark appeared on her pale chest.

The appearance of this mark instantly stirred Shane Vincent's perverse tendencies, bringing a ghostly smile to his face.

Then, one lash followed another, round after round. After a dozen lashes, Lauren's body was covered with whip marks.

Of course, such actions were quite exhausting.

After all, Shane Vincent was getting on in years.

He paused and lit a cigarette.

After a few puffs, his gaze fell between Lauren's parted legs.

He seemed to have thought of something.

Looking at the cigarette butt in his hand, he stood up…

Lauren understood Shane Vincent too well. Just by his look, she knew what was about to happen.

She begged, "Boss, boss, please don't, please don't..."

"Don't? You whore, you think just because you said no, it won't happen? You knew damn well I was after Dirk Carter, yet you helped him catch people. You must be into that bastard Dirk Carter." Shane Vincent cursed.

He crouched down with the cigarette butt between his fingers.

The scorching tip was about to approach her lower body.

Lauren closed her eyes.

She felt utterly hopeless.

No one was coming to save her.

Just at the moment of utter despair, the door suddenly burst open with a crash.

Shane Vincent jolted, standing up, while Lauren instinctively opened her eyes.

Dirk Carter!

The person standing at the door was none other than Dirk Carter!

He had arrived.

"Who do we have here? Oh, it's Deputy Carter?"

Upon seeing Dirk Carter, Shane Vincent was somewhat flustered.

But this fluster lasted only a moment.

He then sat down boldly, crossed his legs, looked at Lauren, and asked, "Dirk Carter somehow knew we were here. It must've been you, whore, who told him, right? I suspected there was something between you two, it seems I wasn't wrong."

"Shane Vincent, are you even human?"

Seeing Lauren's condition, Dirk Carter erupted in anger.

"Oh, feeling sorry? You two got a thing going on? A young buck with old grass, huh? Is Lauren soothing your fire? Hahaha..." Shane Vincent sneered.

Dirk Carter let out a cold laugh and said, "Shane Vincent, you parade around righteously during the day, but at night, you're no different from those heinous beasts. With people like you, how can you be a deputy county head? Even cleaning shit would be too good for you."

"Insult all you want, I, Shane Vincent, have come this far and haven't been afraid of insults. Besides, what's wrong? Can't men and women enjoy each other? We are consensual lovers, how's it your business?"

Even after being caught, Shane Vincent remained shameless.

He seemed indifferent to Dirk Carter's arrival.

Seeing Dirk Carter silent,

he pressed the cigarette butt against Lauren's pale arm.

Sssss…

A slight burning sound arose.

He looked defiantly at Dirk Carter, as if to say, "What can you do about it?"

Turning to Lauren, he said, "Lauren, does it hurt? If it hurts, think more about yourself, your career path—it might not hurt as much."

These words.

Were clearly a threat.

A blatant threat.

He was telling Lauren.

Everything you have now, was given to you by me, Shane Vincent. If you don't know what's good for you, I can take it all back, just as I gave it.

Lauren gritted her teeth.

She wanted to break free, to resist, but she dared not.

Facing such physical pain, she couldn't bear to give up everything she had now.

"Bastard!"

Dirk Carter could no longer hold back.

He clenched his fists and rushed in front of Shane Vincent.

Seeing his angry face, Shane Vincent remained indifferent, standing up and patting Dirk Carter's face, "What? Angry? And what if you are? You dare hit me?"

"Slap!"

As soon as he finished speaking.

Dirk Carter landed a slap.

Right on Shane Vincent's face.

The slap was so forceful that Shane Vincent staggered, almost falling to the ground.

"You bastard, you dare hit me..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Dirk Carter raised his foot and kicked Shane Vincent, this time Shane Vincent couldn't withstand it, stumbling several steps before a faceplant into the ground.

"Revolt! You're rebelling against me!"

Shane Vincent mumbled, trying to get up from the ground on all fours.

Dirk Carter snatched the leather whip from the bed, gathered all his strength, and lashed it down at Shane Vincent.

"Whack! Whack! Whack!"

After a few more lashes.

Shane Vincent, trying to get up, couldn't hold on.

He collapsed back onto the ground.

As the whip fell,

he grimaced in pain, curling up his body.

At first, he was cursing, but soon, he could only wail.

Just like Lauren.

At this moment, Shane Vincent's body was also covered in scars, appearing even more gruesome.

Nobody knew how many times he was hit.

Dirk Carter finally stopped.

After untying the ropes from Lauren's body, he found a bath towel to cover her up.

"Dirk Carter, you've made a mess, you've made a mess, you shouldn't have hit him, it's all my fault, it's all my fault. If I had known this, I wouldn't have let you come, now leave immediately, I'll take care of the rest, at worst I'll give him my life…"

Seeing Shane Vincent in such a state.

Lauren was both terrified and regretful.

She pushed Dirk Carter,

trying to make him leave quickly.

"Leave? Do you think leaving helps? Lauren, I'm telling you, you've ruined everything. I'm going to destroy everything you have now; when you're on your knees begging for mercy, I won't let you go. Dirk Carter, aren't you so brave? I want to see how you'll protect her."

Continuously hissing in pain, Shane Vincent got up from the ground.

"Deputy County Head Vincent, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. Let Dirk Carter go, punish me, do whatever you want to me; you like hitting me, come, hit me hard..."

Anticipating severe repercussions.

Lauren was at a loss.

She picked up the whip from the floor, intending to hand it to Shane Vincent.

Seeing this.

Shane Vincent laughed out loud.

He looked at Dirk Carter and said, "Dirk Carter, Dirk Carter, look, she was born a lowly creature. Do you think you can change anything?"

"Yes! At least starting today, you won't be able to dictate her career!"

Dirk Carter said calmly.

"I can't dictate it? Can you? Dirk Carter, you're young but have a big mouth. Who do you think you are?"

"I'm nobody."

Dirk Carter paused.

He reached into his pocket, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Lauren.

"What is this?"

Lauren cautiously took the paper.

Dirk Carter said, "Take a look first."

Lauren suspiciously opened the page, and with just one glance, she was stunned.

When she looked up again, the fear in her eyes had turned into a burning anger.

"Playing tricks, Lauren, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Kneel here, and shout three times, 'I, Lauren, am a whore,' and I might consider letting you go."

Shane Vincent said coldly.
