Chapter 1187 - 1187:

She grabbed the microphone on the podium.

Indignantly pointing at Adonis Forrest, facing dozens of reporters and cameras below the stage.

Shouted: "He—Adonis Forrest, just now, in his office, he raped me, he's a bastard, a beast beyond redemption!"

Grace Lewis's appearance.

Had already made the calm Adonis Forrest panic.

He argued loudly: "You're framing me, you want to climb up by using this absurd story to smear me, everyone, don't believe her, she's nothing but a slut!"

This remark.

Made Grace Lewis's expression turn cold.

She nodded slightly, firmly said: "I'm framing you, right? Fine!"

After saying this.

She directly, in front of dozens of people present.

Undid her waistband.

The pants fell down instantly.

This scene.

Made the reporters present gasp in shock.

Just like that, with her lower body exposed, Grace Lewis pointed at the sticky fluid on the inside of her thighs.

Said: "I'm framing you? Today I'm throwing away my dignity, officers, this is his bodily fluid, you can test it anytime to see if it belongs to this animal."

Boom!

The entire audience fell silent instantly.

Those close by saw very clearly.

Even those further away didn't need to stand up to look.

Click, click.

The cameras' shutter sounds kept going.

At that moment, the horror on Adonis Forrest's face was beyond words.

Click.

The handcuffs finally clasped onto Adonis Forrest's wrists.

His face turned deathly pale.

Inside, he was already wailing.

Even if he had backup plans for other things, the fact of the rape was undeniable.

This was a press conference.

The reporters present, got quite a scoop, surely would put it on the front page headline.

By then, his tenure as Chairman of Ascendancy Group was over.

Slap!

Dirk Carter's hand slapped Adonis Forrest's shoulder.

Startling him into alertness.

"Adonis Forrest, oh Adonis Forrest, you truly are a bastard, if the heavens wish to wipe you out, you still might live, but if you bring about your own doom, there's no escaping, take him away!"

Two police officers.

Grabbed Adonis Forrest's shoulders.

Just moments ago he was standing tall and proud, now he was deflated like a punctured balloon.

Among the constantly flashing lights.

He was escorted onto the police vehicle.

Taken away from the Ascendancy Group headquarters.

This is the fall of an empire, also the fall of a magnate ruling over trillions.

Thinking his ship would never capsize, he absolutely didn't expect.

A single word from someone would become the death knell for him, just a moment earlier he was smug, then suddenly he was in prison.

Four hours after Adonis Forrest's arrest.

Silverwood City Government Building.

Colter Hall was chairing a government work meeting.

Seated at the head, he was vigorous and passionately eloquent.

Perhaps seeing the hope of advancing further, the whole person was in a state of excited work.

Right when he was gesturing and speaking fervently.

The meeting room's door suddenly swung open with a bang.

The person appearing in front wasn't anyone else, but the Deputy Secretary of the City Committee, Lane Quincy.

Colter Hall glanced at him sideways.

Asked disdainfully: "Secretary Quincy, something?"

"Comrade Colter Hall, please step outside for a moment."

Lane Quincy said with a blank expression.

Colter Hall replied coldly: "Comrade Quincy, don't you see I'm in a meeting? Besides, you're asking me to step outside just like that, isn't that a bit arrogant?"

"You sure you won't come out?"

Lane Quincy asked.

Colter Hall didn't want to deal with him anymore.

He said to the secretary recording the minutes: "Close the door, let's continue the meeting."

Just as the secretary was about to stand up.

Lane Quincy said towards the door: "Leader, Comrade Colter Hall doesn't want to come out, then you all come in."

Leader?

Colter Hall was startled inside.

Suddenly stood up.

At this moment.

Dirk Carter, dressed in an executive blazer, leisurely walked in.

At that moment.

For Colter Hall, it was quite shocking.

The kind of shock as if seeing a ghost in broad daylight.

A person thought to be dead suddenly standing before him, such fright is naturally nothing.

After being stunned for a few seconds.

Having seen many battles, he calmed down.

Leaning forward, he glanced behind Dirk Carter and asked: "Where's the leader?"

"This is the leader."

Lane Quincy pointed to Dirk Carter while saying.

Hearing this, Colter Hall shuddered.

Suddenly laughed: "Comrade Quincy, what kind of joke are you playing, you're a Deputy Secretary of the City Committee, calling the Secretary General a leader? Seen shameless people, but not one as shameless as you, to stick to Dirk Carter, you really lower and degrade yourself."

"Indeed, Comrade Dirk Carter, you're not embarrassed either, someone calls you leader, and you accept? Are you playing house like a child?"

The Deputy Mayor, Kendrick Zane, said sarcastically from the side.

This remark.

Also elicited uproarious laughter from the leadership team of the Municipal Government.

Dirk Carter looked at Kendrick Zane, who showed an indifferent expression, and asked: "Mayor Zane, let me ask you, what do you call a leader?"

"Are you stupid? You're supposed to be at deputy director level, to be called a leader, at least you need to be at director level, do you have that? Are you qualified? Even among the leadership team of Silverwood City Committee, your rank isn't that high, can you call yourself a leader?"

Kendrick Zane sneered and said.

Dirk Carter nodded.

Said: "Oh, I understand, if I were at director level, then you would respectfully call me leader, right?"

"Yes, if you are at director level, I would respectfully call you leader, no doubt, I would call you good leader a hundred times, and with each call, I would include a ninety-degree bow, are you satisfied with that, but, do you have that capability? Hahaha…"

This mocking remark.

Made everyone laugh again.

Dirk Carter, however, was unhurried and glanced at Elbert Rivers behind him.

Elbert Rivers took out a document from his briefcase and presented it to Kendrick Zane.

Kendrick Zane looked at it, somewhat unsure.

With a suspicious gaze, he took the red-headed document and glanced at it.

Like a powerful electric current passing through.

He froze instantly.

Widened his eyes, looked at Dirk Carter in disbelief.

Colter Hall also noticed something was amiss.

Took the document from Kendrick Zane's hand.

The whole person stiffened instantly.

Murmured: "Deputy Secretary of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection?"

As soon as these words were spoken.

Those whispering people were instantly silenced.

Some people didn't have time to retract their contemptuous smiles, freezing on their faces, as awkward as could be.

"Mayor Zane, may I ask if someone at State Commission for Discipline Inspection Deputy Secretary level is qualified to be called leader by you?"

Dirk Carter asked with a slight smile.

Kendrick Zane swallowed.

His body trembled, nodded and said: "Yes... definitely qualified... Secretary General Carter, hello."

"Did you forget something?"

Dirk Carter asked.
