Especially for Dorothy Zechariah.

At this moment, she was in a half-squat position.

Her pants had been pulled down to her knees.

To make matters worse, Dirk Carter's turning around for the rescue happened to aim his crotch right at her face, and unexpectedly, it was the kind of direct hit.

Dirk Carter felt somewhat embarrassed too.

He quickly said, "I'll steady you, hurry up and clean yourself, then I'll help you into bed."

This was how it was.

What else could she do?

Dorothy Zechariah could only follow Dirk Carter's instructions.

By the time she had put on her pants and stood up, her face was flushed red down to her neck.

She couldn't feel more embarrassed.

They were speechless, facing each other.

They didn't know what to say.

Dirk Carter picked her up again and walked out of the bathroom.

Just as he was about to put her on the bed, a man's angry shout came from behind him: "What the hell are you doing?"

He gently put Dorothy Zechariah down.

Dirk Carter felt someone grab his back.

Before he could see who it was, a punch flew at his cheek.

The blow was strong.

With a thud, Dirk Carter staggered and slammed into Dorothy Zechariah's hospital bed.

"Colwyn Ford! What are you doing?"

Seeing this, Dorothy Zechariah was also furious and shouted at the man.

Dirk Carter then saw that the person who attacked him was a man in his twenties, about the same height as him, with slicked-back hair and wearing a sharp suit that was evidently expensive.

Colwyn Ford?

Wasn't that Dorothy Zechariah's boyfriend?

The playboy from the Titan Group.

The anger that had surged in his heart instantly subsided by half.

Not because he was afraid of him, but because seeing his girlfriend being carried by another man, he couldn't blame him for reacting that way.

"Dorothy, was he trying to touch you? Damn, he's got the nerve to mess with my woman, get him!"

Colwyn Ford shouted angrily.

Instantly, four men in black suits walked in from the doorway.

A clash was about to erupt.

The driver who had called earlier rushed in and timidly said to Colwyn Ford, "Mr. Ford, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. He's the one who saved Miss's life; he carried her down from the mountain, otherwise, she wouldn't be alive."

"Saved her life?"

On hearing this.

Colwyn Ford frowned.

He then gestured to the person beside him.

One of the men in black suits opened a briefcase he carried.

Took out a wad of cash and handed it to Colwyn Ford.

Colwyn Ford waved the money around.

There were at least forty to fifty thousand dollars.

He slapped the money onto Dirk Carter's chest and said, "Life saver, huh? Fine, take this money and get the hell out of here!"

"Colwyn Ford! Are you crazy?"

Dorothy Zechariah scolded angrily once more.

But Colwyn Ford didn't seem to hear her at all.

He glared at Dirk Carter, seeing him stand frozen, and sneered, "Not enough? No problem."

Then.

He took another forty to fifty thousand dollars.

Waved it.

Said, "You've never seen so much money in your life, have you? Now it's all yours, you can take it and disappear from my sight."

"Dirk, don't mind him, sometimes he's not right in the head."

Dorothy Zechariah quickly said to Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter took the money, smiled, and said, "Well, thank you, Mr. Ford, for your generosity."

With that said.

He turned to Dorothy Zechariah and said, "Miss Zechariah, your boyfriend is quite something."

After leaving that remark, he walked through the crowd and left.

As soon as Dirk Carter left.

Colwyn Ford sneered and said, "Some life saver. He's just aware of who you are and wants to make some money, look at that dumb look, his eyes lit up at the sight of cash."

"Colwyn Ford, aren't you going too far?"

Dorothy Zechariah said angrily.

Colwyn Ford made a dismissive gesture.

Those subordinates who came in all obediently walked out.

Then, he put on a sycophantic smile, held Dorothy Zechariah's hand, and asked, "Are you alright? That loser didn't try anything on you, did he?"

"Mr. Ford, thanks for your concern, I was bitten by a venomous snake, and your first concern was whether that man tried anything on me. Seems like you're here to check on me, not to see how I'm doing."

Dorothy Zechariah rolled her eyes at him.

And just lay down.

Clearly, she was really upset.

Colwyn Ford hurriedly pulled a chair over and sat down, saying, "I'm just worried some other guy might be plotting against you. The world is dark out there, that man clearly looked poor and surely holds some ulterior motives towards you. I can't let you get deceived."

"Without him, I'd be dead."

Dorothy Zechariah said.

Colwyn Ford still appeared indifferent.

Said, "Didn't I thank him? Look how happy he was when he got the money, okay, babe, don't be angry."

"Mr. Ford."

At the door, a young man in black called softly.

"Get out! Can't you see I'm talking to Dorothy?"

Colwyn Ford didn't even turn his head and scolded directly.

The man in black suits looked a bit embarrassed, but he swallowed and said, "The man who just left, he put all the money into Miss's hospital bills."

Dorothy Zechariah, covered with a quilt.

On hearing this.

Suddenly pulled the quilt off.

It was clear she was pleasantly surprised by the result.

"Oh? Did he really do that? Seems like this guy is playing the long game."

Colwyn Ford muttered.

Seeing Dorothy Zechariah glaring at him, he quickly changed his tone, "Okay, Dorothy, I won't say it anymore. He's a good person, I'll thank him properly someday."

Even though he said this.

The jealousy in his heart grew stronger.

Leaving the clinic.

Dirk Carter felt pretty good.

Although the research in Tea Hill Village was left unfinished, saving a life is more virtuous than building a seven-tiered pagoda.

He didn't put Colwyn Ford's bullying to heart.

After all, there are levels among people; Colwyn Ford acting like this was typical of such a spoiled heir.

As he hummed a tune.

He suddenly saw Zach Griffin running towards him from a distance.

Dirk Carter was startled.

Then he remembered.

When he sent Dorothy Zechariah to the ward earlier, he hadn't seen Zach Griffin at all.

"Boss, something happened, something big!"

As soon as he got in front of Dirk Carter, Zach Griffin said, panting heavily.

"Something happened? What happened?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Zach Griffin pointed towards the northeastern sky.

Dirk Carter stared, and his heart jumped to his throat in an instant.

He saw thick smoke billowing up in the northeastern sky, a massive cloud of smoke rising from the ground, blocking out the sun.

"F...fire, there's a fire over there..."

Zach Griffin shouted in panic.

"What's that place over there?"

Dirk Carter asked.

"Pin...Pinegrove Village's bamboo product cooperative's warehouse, it's the warehouse that caught fire."

"What?"

Dirk Carter's heart tightened instantly.

A very strong, bad premonition hit him instantly.
