Two rounds of battles, and right in succession.

Dirk did not play favorites.

He exerted effort with Ewan as well.

By the time they returned to the hotel,

it was already past eleven at night.

When Ewan opened the door, she felt a bit guilty, seeing Rose had already gone to sleep covered by a blanket, and only then did her heart settle down.

"Sis, where did you go? Why did you come back just now?"

Suddenly,

Rose sat up in bed and asked.

Ewan panicked.

She said, "Uh... well, I was a bit hungry just now, so I went out to get something to eat."

"Get something to eat? What were you eating that took nearly three hours?"

Rose asked.

Ewan knew continuing would surely reveal the truth, so she deliberately put on a stern face and asked, "Well, when I wasn't here, did you wander around without permission?"

The inquisitive Rose immediately felt guilty.

She lay back down and said, "No, I stayed in the room the whole time."

"The whole time? But I just called the hotel room phone, asking you to go down to eat, yet there was no answer?"

"Uh... I heard it, but I was showering at the time, so I couldn't answer."

Now it was Rose's turn not to know how to respond.

Ewan acknowledged with a familiar smile and said, "Alright, alright, we'll head back tomorrow when we wake up, sleep early."

Finished speaking.

She also slipped under the covers.

Though both had lain down,

neither had any sleepiness.

In their minds, they were both recalling the recent "battle" with Dirk, and the feeling was utterly fascinating.

"Sis, are you asleep?"

Suddenly, Rose asked.

"What's up?"

"Sis, would you say Dirk is a good person?"

"Uh... well, I guess so." Ewan hesitated for a moment before answering.

"I also think he's a good person."

After muttering a bit, Rose said no more.

This question also stirred up waves in Ewan's heart.

The time spent with Dirk was not long, but now, the initial dislike was gone, replaced by a budding love deep inside.

Perhaps her sister felt the same, falling for that "bastard"?

...

In the following days,

Mason took sick leave and hadn't appeared.

With Dirk as the town mayor, his position became somewhat smoother.

People from various departments sought opportunities to report work, and those leaders who previously looked down on Dirk would visit to chat now and then.

In short, Dirk's prestige and standing had completely replaced Tristan's.

During this period, Caroline called once to express her gratitude.

She said she should have come personally.

But at this moment, going to Sunglow Town was not quite fitting.

After all, now too many eyes in the county were on this place, to avoid suspicion, it was necessary to steer clear.

She told Dirk.

Something that had been on her mind for many years could finally be set down, and her brother Eldar could now rest in peace, which made Dirk feel a bit melancholic.

After hanging up the phone, Dirk felt thirsty.

He was just about to make himself a cup of tea.

Zach walked in and said, "Boss, someone's looking for you outside."

"Looking for me? Who?"

"I don't know her, she's a woman, and she said her surname is Moss."

"Surname Moss?"

Dirk felt a jolt.

He asked, "Where is she now?"

"Right outside."

"Invite her in!"

Dirk stood up hastily,

and then he asked Zach, "When you brought her over, did anyone else see?"

Zach shook his head and said, "No, it's lunchtime, everyone hasn't started working yet."

"That's good, you go ahead, remember, until I come out, tell whoever comes that I'm busy, got it?"

"Understood, boss."

After Zach went out, a woman wearing a sunhat,

mask, and sunglasses walked in.

After the door closed.

The woman then removed the covering from her face.

Those deep, enchanting fox eyes revealed themselves once more, what a pair of beautiful eyes.

"Zoey, why are you here?"

Dirk asked delightedly.

The woman in front of him was indeed Zoey Moss.

Zoey smiled smugly and said, "What's wrong? You haven't come to see sis for so long, now sis isn't allowed to come to see you?"

Dirk quickly took her hand and sat her down on the sofa, asking, "How could that be? I've missed you so much, sis, how have things been with you and Minister Grant lately?"

Upon hearing Alfie,

Zoey immediately lost her smile.

She sighed.

And said, "What can I say? It's just so-so, but after the Calvert incident, he's treated me better, probably because he's afraid I'll spill the beans and ruin his career."

Dirk nodded and said, "It's okay, sis, I have the evidence of what Calvert did to you, he wouldn't dare to do anything to you."

"I came this time to talk to you about this matter."

Finished speaking,

Zoey looked around.

Dirk understood and said, "Sis, don't worry, it's safe to talk here."

Zoey nodded and said, "I've heard about what you've been doing in Sunglow Town, and last night, Sherman went to the local restaurant, I secretly overheard some things they discussed, concerning you."

"Concerning me?"

"Yes, after Tristan's downfall, Sherman was furious and discussed with Alfie Grant about giving you a hard time."

"Did Minister Grant agree?"

Zoey shook her head and said, "He didn't agree directly at that time, he said since you have Vice Mayor Hughes backing you, they should be cautious. Of course, these are just words, what he's truly afraid of is your holding that Calvert matter."

"I understand."

"Alfie Grant, in fact, isn't bad, but the key is the people around him, like Kian Holden. Kian's being good with Alfie Grant is for his business, for making money. When he heard Sherman was unhappy with you, he probably saw it as an opportunity to curry favor with the mayor. So, don't fear noble people, but fear villains. I'm worried he'll persuade Alfie Grant to act against you."

Dylan said Sherman is indeed shrewd.

He wants another "use a borrowed knife to kill."

"Sis, it's okay, come what may, water can be diverted. Since I dared to take on Tristan, I knew Sherman would trip me up."

Dirk said calmly.

Zoey suddenly grabbed Dirk's hand.

And said, "Dirk, sis is really worried about you, I didn't sleep well last night thinking about it, and today I found a chance to come over. Maybe you shouldn't be this official, withdraw the money from Alfie Grant and start a small business, open a traditional Chinese medicine clinic; with your skills, you can do well."

These words.

Made Dirk feel warm inside.

However, he had to continue on this path.

Not only for himself but for others too.

He smiled and said, "Sis, it's okay. Since you believe in my ability, what do you have to fear? By the way, sis, I haven't done acupuncture on you for a while, how have you been lately?"

"Recently, my dizziness and headache symptoms have greatly lessened, and I don't suffer from insomnia at night anymore, there's been a real improvement."

Dirk felt her pulse for a while.

And said, "Sis, most of the blockages in your meridians have cleared, just one more session left, how about we take this opportunity for me to give you another acupuncture session?"

Recalling the scenes from the last acupuncture session.

Zoey blushed and asked, "Here?"

Dirk chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I've instructed that no one will come in. Sis, you undress, and I'll go sterilize the silver needles."

When Dirk returned from the inner room after sterilizing,

Zoey's perfect body was already in front of him.
