Chapter 1171 - 1171

Noelle Meyer certainly didn't believe Dirk Carter was a doctor.

She suspected he wanted to take advantage of her weakened state.

Her mouth was tightly shut, refusing to listen to Dirk Carter no matter how he explained.

"Noelle Meyer, please obediently open your mouth, otherwise, I really will have to do something inappropriate to you."

As he spoke,

Dirk Carter placed his hand on her chest.

All he had to do was press down, and he could touch her majestic bosom.

Noelle Meyer was terrified.

She could only obediently open her mouth.

Dirk Carter commanded, "Stick out your tongue."

When Noelle Meyer complied,

Dirk Carter was stunned.

The tongue coating was white, and the tip was purple.

He quickly let go, and with a somewhat hollow gaze said, "Frozen Shadow Powder, it seems your opponent genuinely wants you dead without any hesitation."

Initially, Noelle Meyer thought Dirk Carter was just a lecher.

From the moment he tried to lift her clothes.

Lately, he not only had gotten off her but also mentioned a name she had never heard before.

"You... you really are... really are a doctor?"

She struggled to sit up and asked.

"I'm not lying to you, my parents are both traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, I've been learning it since I was a kid."

Dirk Carter said.

"Then what about this Frozen Shadow Powder you mentioned, what exactly is it?"

"A highly insidious poison, I read about it in my father's notes, I always thought it had become extinct, didn't expect it still existed in the world. Simply put, it is made from nine cold drugs, such as aconite cream, snow frog saliva, ground bone dew, etc. Once inside the body, they interact to form cold poison. The pain in your lower abdomen and the blue-purple lines under the skin in your lower abdomen are the best proof."

"This drug is colorless and tasteless, and it can't be detected when mixed into water. It was the ancient trick used in The Imperial Palace to punish the concubines. Even a corpse examination might not find it, let alone hospital doctors. It seems your opponent has thought this through; once used, you two are as good as done."

Dirk Carter said.

Noelle Meyer's expression began to tense.

Two rows of tears dripped down.

Staring blankly at the ceiling, she said angrily, "Adonis Forrest, you're too ruthless!"

"Adonis Forrest? The one trying to harm you is Adonis Forrest? From Ascendancy Group?"

Dirk Carter shuddered and asked.

Noelle Meyer nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."

Why was Dirk Carter so shocked upon hearing Adonis Forrest's name?

Because Ascendancy Group's reputation was simply too large.

It's not a private enterprise but a vice-ministerial central enterprise, and the chairman of this group is none other than Adonis Forrest.

In other words, Adonis Forrest's administrative level is also vice-ministerial.

So what is this Ascendancy Group about?

About twenty years ago.

The state set up five financial asset management companies nationwide to deal with bad debts in various financial institutions, including banks.

Ascendancy Group is one of them, headquartered in Prospera City of Novaria State.

Back then, Adonis Forrest was just into his thirties and already in charge of such a newly established central enterprise.

As time passed.

Ascendancy Group has become a colossal financial conglomerate, controlling assets worth trillions.

Its business scope has expanded from initially dealing with bad debts to now involving banking, financial leasing, securities, trusts, consumer finance, futures, etc.

He never thought that the head of such a high-level state-owned enterprise could do such a vicious thing to the head of a private enterprise.

"Ascendancy Group's been hollowed out by Adonis Forrest long ago, don't be fooled by the nice-looking figures on paper. It's actually just an empty shell. To cover the massive deficit, Adonis Forrest has only one solution, which is to engulf my Seaview Group. Only this way can it pass the superior's audit, and only this way can he pull more money from the banks..."

These words.

Noelle Meyer said with difficulty.

"Why particularly Seaview Group? Even if it's large, isn't it just a fraction compared to Ascendancy Group?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Noelle Meyer breathed heavily and said, "Because Seaview Group has two manganese mines, these two mines are almost exhausted, but Adonis Forrest has set his eyes on them."

"Inflating the mineral reserves?"

Dirk Carter immediately saw the clue.

Noelle Meyer nodded and said, "Yes, as long as the relations are well handled, and the reserves are inflated, the value generated by these two mines can offset the entire deficit of Ascendancy Group. In this way, Ascendancy Group can continue to stand, otherwise, in a few months, it will explode."

By this point.

Dirk Carter finally understood.

Adonis Forrest had already started communicating with Noelle Meyer a long time ago.

His idea was simple.

As long as Noelle Meyer collaborates, allowing Ascendancy Group to acquire Seaview Group, she can still serve as the chairman of Seaview Group, and receive a considerable dividend every year.

Noelle Meyer refused.

As the deadline for the explosion approached.

Adonis Forrest had no choice.

To employ the most aggressive measures.

Once Noelle Meyer is dead.

Things afterward would be much easier to handle.

In such circumstances, what happened was not surprising.

"Actually, I had suspected earlier that he might eliminate me. For this reason, I've been taking bodyguards with me whenever I go out. His idea is quite simple, either make me fall into a trap, and if that doesn't work, then eliminate me completely, which should be his last resort."

Noelle Meyer sighed and said.

After saying this.

Noelle Meyer looked towards Faye Ullman's direction.

And said, "My death wouldn't matter, but it's a pity for Faye; she's innocent."

"Death? There's no need for that. If I knew you were poisoned, and still died in front of me, Dirk Carter, wouldn't that tarnish my father's reputation?"

Dirk Carter said.

Noelle Meyer was stunned.

Asked, "Are you saying I can still be saved?"

Dirk Carter shrugged and said, "I only said others can't save you, didn't say that I can't save you."

"That's great, you really can save us?"

Hearing this.

Noelle Meyer became excited.

Dirk Carter showed a difficult expression.

He said, "I can save you, and there's a seventy percent chance. But... but..."

Seeing him hesitate.

Noelle Meyer hurriedly said, "As long as you can save me and Faye, money is no object."

"It's not a money issue, it's an issue with you two."

Dirk Carter said.

Noelle Meyer paused and asked, "Our issue? What's our issue?"

Dirk Carter took a deep breath.

He said, "During the treatment, you two... you may need to undress..."
