For others, both pieces of news were quite shocking, but for Dirk Carter, they were not surprising at all.

Firstly, Adair Meyer went crazy.

This guy was spoiled from a young age, being the only child held dear by his parents.

After entering society, with the protection of his parents, his career went smoothly without any setbacks.

Once he was at the Work Safety Administration.

Without knowing much, he constantly overshadowed Director Dougray Hayes.

Officially, he was the deputy director.

But in terms of power, he called the shots up and down.

In his eyes, Dirk Carter's status was vastly different.

But what happened?

He suffered repeated setbacks from Dirk Carter, continuously receiving severe blows, so having some doubts about life was normal.

As for his own transfer from the Work Safety Administration.

This was Dahlia Hughes' proposal.

There were two reasons.

The first point is that although Shane Vincent has been dealt with, he had been entrenched in Stillwater County for many years and had supported many people. Now that he's been taken down, his loyalists are bound to cause trouble for Dirk Carter.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is the second point.

Which is the parents of Adair Meyer.

Juwan Meyer is a city leader, and Sophia Vincent is the deputy secretary of the Eastgate County Committee.

Since they doted on their son so much, seeing him like this, it's impossible for them not to take action.

Transferring Dirk Carter to Sunglow Town was to avoid the limelight for a while.

Additionally, gaining experience in the township is to lay the groundwork for Dirk Carter to ascend to a higher position.

This was a good thing, and Dirk Carter had no reason not to accept it.

As for the Work Safety Administration's work, it was temporarily handled by Colette Wagner.

With both deputy directors stepping down simultaneously, it gave Colette Wagner a chance, and given her previous achievements, securing this deputy director position should be within reach.

On the day Dirk Carter received the transfer order.

A car that didn't look particularly upscale slowly stopped at the entrance of the Apex Group's headquarters.

The security guard noticed.

Immediately came out, knocked on the car window with his hand, and said, "No parking here, please move your car."

The car window was slowly rolled down.

Revealing a driver wearing sunglasses.

The driver was calm and composed.

He took something resembling a business card out of his pocket and handed it to the security guard.

The security guard looked at the card.

Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead right away.

He quickly said, "Wait a moment, I'll notify President Ford right now."

About five minutes later.

Caleb Ford hurriedly appeared at the entrance.

At this moment, the sunglasses-wearing driver got out of the car, opened the back door, and said, "President Ford, our leader invites you to get in the car."

Caleb Ford, being who he was.

In Stillwater County, he feared nothing, not even giving County Committee Secretary Donal Lewis a serious glance.

But now, he obediently nodded and got into the car with a humble demeanor.

The car started slowly.

Driving steadily along the roads of Stillwater County.

Next to Caleb Ford sat a plump man, looking about fifty years old, with some baldness. He didn't say a word throughout the journey, just stared out the window. It was Caleb Ford who had sweaty palms.

"L-leader, what brings you here personally? You could just call, and I'd come to visit you."

Caleb Ford said tremblingly.

"Do you know a person named Dirk Carter?"

The man still looked out the window and asked lightly.

Dirk Carter?

Caleb Ford felt a shiver inside.

He quickly nodded and said, "Y-yes, we met once."

"He has something I want, you need to help me find it."

"What is it?"

"A notebook with a black cover left by Dylan Tate."

"Alright, I'll send someone to get it now."

Having said this, Caleb Ford was about to take out his phone.

The man coughed and said, "Do not use violence, I don't want to draw anyone's attention, it must be done without a trace; making a scene would be bad."

Caleb Ford paused for a moment.

Then said, "Don't worry, leader, I'll handle it."

The man stopped talking.

He just reached out and tapped on the driver's seat.

The sunglasses-wearing driver then slowly pulled the car over to the side of the road.

"You can walk back, I'm not driving you."

The man said coldly.

"Okay, leader."

Caleb Ford obediently opened the car door and got out.

The car didn't linger at all and soon disappeared at the intersection.

How could Dirk Carter be connected to him?

Though Caleb Ford had many doubts, he dared not ask.

After a pause, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Ewan, there's something I need you to do for me..."

After making the call.

Caleb Ford let out a long sigh.

Only then did he realize that his entire back was drenched.

Two mornings later.

Dirk Carter walked out of the bedroom with a suitcase.

He had just reached the living room when he saw Catherine Sawyer carrying a backpack, smiling at him.

"What are you doing?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Catherine Sawyer said, "You're going to Sunglow Town, and I'm going with you. It's unfamiliar territory over there; you need someone to take care of you, right?"

Dirk Carter laughed.

He walked up to Catherine Sawyer and kissed her on the forehead.

He said, "You're right, it's unfamiliar there, and I'll most likely be staying in the dormitory, so there's no place for you to stay. You should stay here and take care of the house for me."

"I can find a place to stay by myself; I definitely won't burden you."

Catherine Sawyer said anxiously.

"I know, but the timing is really inconvenient now. Once I'm settled there, you can come over later."

Though Catherine Sawyer was a bit disappointed.

But she was sensible.

She took off her backpack.

And said, "Wait a moment, Master, I have a gift for you."

"A gift? What gift?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Catherine rushed into the bedroom and after about two minutes.

She came out again.

The reappearing Catherine was completely different from before.

She was wearing a bright red silk nightgown and nothing else.

The fabric was quite sheer.

The view underneath was clearly visible.

"This is the gift you mentioned?"

Dirk Carter swallowed and asked.

Catherine tiptoed lightly, walking toward Dirk Carter and said in a sweet voice, "Master, I have nothing else to give you, so let me send you off with my body..."

Then.

She slowly knelt down and unbuckled Dirk Carter's belt.

Early in the morning, who could resist such temptation?

Dirk Carter scooped Catherine up and said, "Alright, then before I leave, I'll give you a little gift too."

He turned and went into the bedroom.

Soon after, the sound of two people playing on a shaky bed came from inside.

After one session, it was already nine o'clock.

If he didn't leave now, he'd miss the bus.

Dirk Carter gave Catherine a deep kiss again and left reluctantly.

Hurriedly rushing downstairs.

He saw a black SUV parked at the entrance of the community.

Rose Forrest, dressed in black, was standing happily in front of the car, waving at him.

"Why are you here?"

Dirk Carter asked with confusion.

Rose Forrest said, "Sister said we're driving you to Sunglow Town."

Only then did Dirk Carter notice that the driver was indeed Rose Forrest.

"Driving me? Didn't I hand you back to Caleb Ford?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Originally, Dirk Carter had brought them over to protect Sierra Vincent, but now that Sierra Vincent was safe, they were no longer necessary.

So he had sent them back.

"Why? Don't you want us two sisters to personally escort you?"

The driver, Ewan Forrest, asked.

"Want to, why wouldn't I? With women around, the work isn't tiring. It's almost a two-hour drive to Sunglow Town; having you along is certainly preferable."

Dirk Carter finished speaking.

Then opened the car door and got in.
