Chapter 1144 - 1144

But doing so carries significant risk.

Especially the risk of detaining Alexander Camden.

At this moment, he had to find a powerful ally to make his actions seem reasonable, legal, and compliant.

And the most suitable candidate was none other than Ian Hughes.

First.

As the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Secretary of Silverwood City, Dirk Carter has the authority to speak directly with Ian Hughes.

Additionally, there is a natural competitive relationship between Ian Hughes and Stanley Keating; if Stanley Keating falls in this matter, Ian Hughes stands to gain the most.

It's widely known.

Compton Wright, the Governor of Novaria State, is approaching the end of his term.

By then, Stanley Keating is very likely to take over the Governor's position.

If at this critical juncture something happens to Stanley Keating, although Ian Hughes, as the Discipline Inspection Secretary, still has the obstacle of a Deputy Governor above him, his chances would greatly increase.

Moreover, there's another reason.

The Executive Deputy Secretary Alexander Camden has always been a direct associate of Stanley Keating, and Ian Hughes has long wanted to place his own people in this position. If Alexander Camden falls, it naturally provides such an opportunity for him.

After weighing all the pros and cons in this scenario.

If this case can deal a fatal blow to Stanley Keating.

Ian Hughes would definitely offer his full support.

The outcome was also within Dirk Carter's expectations.

After reporting the situation of the 626 case to Ian Hughes over the phone, Ian Hughes decided to personally visit Silverwood City, which is why he showed up at the critical moment.

Midnight.

Dragging his weary body.

Dirk Carter returned home.

As soon as the door opened.

A figure rushed over.

Directly nestled into his embrace.

There's no need to guess; this figure was naturally Mona.

At this moment, Mona had already changed into a thin nightgown, soft and fragrant, and just by the feel, it was clear Mona was not wearing anything underneath her sleepwear.

Especially the two soft mounds pressed against his chest, the tactile sensation was quite obvious.

Before Dirk Carter could react.

Mona's soft lips pressed against his.

At this time, Dirk Carter was still contemplating how to tell her about Alexander Camden, so he wasn't in the mood for intimacy.

With a slight force, he broke free from Mona.

"What's going on? We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want to be close to me?"

Mona pouted, speaking with some displeasure.

Dirk Carter sat down on the sofa.

He said, "Mona, sit for a moment, I have something to tell you."

Mona flounced back onto the sofa, her slender arms wrapped around Dirk Carter's neck, she coquettishly said, "No matter how big the issue is, let me cherish you first."

After speaking.

Her lips moved again toward Dirk Carter's face.

Dirk Carter dodged once more.

He said solemnly, "Let's talk about the main issue first."

This time, Mona realized Dirk Carter's abnormal behavior.

She straightened her body.

Asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

Looking at Mona's delicate face, for a moment, Dirk Carter didn't know how to begin.

"Come on, why aren't you talking?"

Mona urged.

Dirk Carter took a deep breath.

He knew that this barrier must be crossed; even if he didn't say it today, it wouldn't be long before Mona learned the truth.

"Well... Mona, what kind of person do you think your dad is?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Mona tilted her head in thought, then said, "My dad loves me very much; at work, he's a responsible leader and disciplinarian. In life, he's a good husband and, of course, a good father..."

When talking about Alexander Camden.

Mona seemed animated, her eyebrows lively.

Dirk Carter suddenly interrupted her, saying, "Mona, if I tell you your dad isn't like that, what would you do?"

"Impossible, my dad is that kind of person, how could I not know?"

Mona wasn't a fool.

Dirk Carter's words immediately caught her attention.

At that moment, her expression became serious.

Upon seeing Dirk Carter remain silent.

She grasped Dirk Carter's hand, asking, "What happened to my dad?"

Dirk Carter gathered his strength, gritted his teeth, and said, "Your dad was caught, involved with the 626 case, and he is one of the suspects behind it."

A buzzing sounded.

Mona's mind exploded.

Her expression froze on her face.

Dirk Carter could feel that her hand holding his began to tremble.

"Impossible, impossible! How could my dad be a suspect? Impossible, absolutely impossible. You all must have made a mistake, you all definitely made a mistake. I need to call my dad, I need to call him now..."

Mumbling to herself.

She stood up, wanting to grab her phone.

Seeing her like this.

Dirk Carter felt a pang of heartache.

He hastily pulled her into his embrace.

Said, "Mona, I'm not lying to you, it's true, Secretary Camden has already been caught. Evidence is solid, and he has confessed... But... But don't worry, he was not involved in murder, so it won't be too serious..."

"I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I don't believe it!"

Mona continued shaking her head furiously.

Her body at first struggled.

Then slowly became limp.

"Tell me how it happened; I want to know the truth."

After a long time, Mona regained clarity and asked Dirk Carter.

Now she finally recalled the strange words Dirk Carter said to her when they first met. At that time, she didn't take it to heart, but looking back now, Dirk Carter already knew the truth.

Even if she has countless doubts.

The fact remains the fact, and this logic she understands.

In the time that followed.

Dirk Carter explained the 626 case again in detail.

Upon hearing her father's long-term improper relationship with Alexis Lewis.

Mona cried.

Tears flowed down.

"You need to be strong. After this happened, your mom will definitely be more upset than you, so don't cry, you need to be a strong support for your mom, you understand?"

Dirk Carter wiped away her tears as he spoke.

Mona just nodded.

She slipped out of Dirk Carter's arms.

Then.

She stood before Dirk Carter.

Her shoulders nudged.

The straps of her nightgown slipped down.

Simultaneously.

That light nightgown fell to the floor.

A flawless body appeared in view.

Towering peaks, slender waist, and those long, flawless white legs, each like sculpted art, strikingly beautiful.

"Dirk, I want to be with you, can I? I don't want to think about all that messy stuff; I just want to be with you, do it hard, do it all night, can I?"

Mona said, forlornly toward Dirk Carter.

"Mona..."

Seeing her like this.

Dirk Carter felt a wave of compassion.

Perhaps this is what's called post-traumatic stress.

He initially wanted to dissuade her.

But it was already too late.

Mona had already spread her legs and sat on his knees.

Her warm lips unceremoniously pressed on his...
