A Bumpy Road to Power
Chapter 1176 - 1176
The two women nodded almost simultaneously.
Dirk Carter stood at the foot of the bed and said, "I told you before, Frozen Shadow Powder is a highly yin poison. If you want to recover quickly, the fastest way is to embrace Pure Yang to expel the extreme yin."
"Embrace Pure Yang? What do you mean? Like going to a sauna?"
Noelle Meyer asked.
Dirk Carter shook his head.
Faye Ullman said, "I got it, drink more hot water or eat spicy food."
Dirk Carter still shook his head.
The two were even more puzzled.
"In traditional Chinese medicine theory, women are considered yin, and men are yang. The Frozen Shadow Powder damages the womb, so it requires a man's fluid to enter and let Pure Yang cover the extreme yin. That way, recovery will be faster."
Once Dirk Carter finished speaking.
Noelle Meyer understood.
The blush on her face started to rise.
Such a sophisticated way of speaking, Faye Ullman obviously didn't understand.
She looked at Noelle Meyer puzzledly and asked, "Boss, what does he mean? I have no idea what he's talking about."
Noelle Meyer pursed her lips.
She said, "He means that if you want to recover faster, you have to... be with a man."
"Oh... what? Be with a man?"
Faye Ullman understood this time and exclaimed immediately.
Dirk Carter quickly corrected, "What I said is not just about being with a man. The final step is for a man to ejaculate inside, which was why I was hesitant to say it before."
Once these words were spoken.
The two women looked at him with slightly odd expressions.
Dirk Carter realized and quickly waved his hand, "What I'm saying isn't that I want to do anything with you. Anyway, there's no rush. Once we get out of here, you can find your own men to handle this."
"I don't have a man anymore, and neither does my boss."
Faye Ullman said.
Dirk Carter was stunned.
He looked at Noelle Meyer and asked, "Aria doesn't have one, I understand, but you couldn't possibly not have one, those photos..."
"The person in the photos isn't me."
Before the words were finished, Noelle Meyer interrupted.
Dirk Carter was even more confused.
He said, "Not you? But the person in those photos looks exactly like you?"
Faye Ullman paused and said, "The person in those photos is indeed not my boss, but her sister, Daphne Meyer, though we usually call her Rebecca."
"What do you mean? You have a twin sister?"
Dirk Carter was stunned for a moment and asked.
Noelle Meyer nodded and said, "When our parents divorced, my father took me and Rebecca stayed with my mother..."
From the beginning.
Edison Meyer and Aria Everett gave birth to twins.
When their marriage couldn't continue, Edison Meyer chose to return to the country.
After negotiations between the couple.
Noelle followed her father Edison Meyer, while Rebecca stayed in France and grew up with her mother Aria Everett.
Later on.
Aria Everett remarried.
Rebecca was also taken along.
A few years ago, after Aria Everett passed away due to illness, Rebecca returned to the country.
"This sister of mine is completely different in character from me, possibly because of being mistreated by her stepfather after following our mother, she became extremely... extremely radical. After returning to the country, I discussed with my father, actually wanting to give her some shares, but she was never satisfied. She felt that we owed her too much over the years, so she wanted more from the group..."
It's also because of interest.
They turned against each other.
To prove her greater ability.
Rebecca leveraged her physical advantages to navigate between politics and business.
She not only has an unspeakable relationship with Hadley Thorne.
She also became Adonis Forrest's secret lover under his persuasion.
This merger plan was actually crafted by Rebecca.
Coming to this point.
Noelle Meyer sighed.
She said, "Rebecca said that if she can't have something, she wants to destroy it all. Because of this, there's actually no sisterly bond between us, more of a hatred. Even my father's stroke was caused by her anger..."
As expected.
There's never a lack of grudges among the rich.
After a while.
The so-called reports provided by Adonis Forrest were all some悟道 (Wudao, similar to reports or truths).
The purpose was also simple.
It was to plunge Noelle Meyer into trouble.
"I'm not trying to bring up your sad past, but I'm just curious, what could have upset Edison Meyer to the point of having a stroke?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Noelle Meyer paused and said, "When Rebecca returned to the country, she wanted 60% of our father's shares. She said it's what she deserved. After all, I was raised by our father, so he was still biased towards me and wouldn't agree. But to compel him to agree, she actually hooked up with Adonis Forrest. You have to know, our father and Adonis Forrest were close brothers for decades..."
"You're saying your father Edison Meyer and Adonis Forrest were close brothers?"
Dirk Carter asked, puzzled.
Noelle Meyer nodded.
She said, "Father often said that without Adonis Forrest, he wouldn't be where he is today..."
More than twenty years ago.
After Edison Meyer returned to the country, he had the idea of contracting the Silverwood City manganese mine of Auran Mining Group.
But at that time, he didn't have any money in hand.
So, he sold his old home and borrowed a lot from relatives, friends, and colleagues. Even with all that money, it was still difficult to contract a mine.
Therefore, he approached Adonis Forrest, who was the deputy head of the Commerce Union Bank's Silverwood City branch at the time.
With the help of Adonis Forrest.
Edison Meyer received a loan.
This loan paved the way for the later Keystone Group.
This might be why they became good brothers back then.
At this point.
Noelle Meyer frowned and said, "But speaking of it, it's strange. After that loan, the two hardly stayed in touch. Although my father was very grateful to him, whenever he mentioned him, there was always a sense of inexplicable regret. I asked him why, but he never said."
Next.
She let out a long sigh.
She said, "All these years, I've always remembered this kindness. That's also why I always give in when he makes things difficult for me. After all, people shouldn't forget their roots. Moreover, back then, he helped my father solve this problem while he himself was plagued with troubles."
"Plagued with troubles? What do you mean?"
Dirk Carter asked.
Noelle Meyer said, "Specifically, I don't know much, just heard my father mention that during the time Adonis Forrest was serving as deputy head of the Commerce Union Bank's branch, several account holders filed lawsuits against him for embezzlement of funds. The court had already started an investigation, and it was his luck that the judge was later killed, which led to the case fizzling out..."
As soon as these words fell.
Dirk Carter's heart was instantly tightened.
