A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 1192 - 1192

  • Next Chapter

In the crowd, some people knew Julian.

They certainly knew Julian's usual arrogance and willfulness.

Even if they didn't know him personally.

These three luxury cars were enough to show Julian's power.

Yet this was the same person.

Who actually knelt before an unknown host just because he glanced at a certificate, it was truly unimaginable.

"Tara... Miss Sullivan, I apologize for my rude behavior, and I hope you can forgive me!"

It must be said.

Julian was quite sincere.

Tara wasn't unwilling to accept the apology.

She was just too shocked to move.

Julian seemed to have thought of something.

He stood up.

Returned to the sports car, opened the front trunk, and took out a stack of money.

He delivered it respectfully in front of Tara, saying, "Miss Sullivan, this money... please accept it as... as my compensation to you."

"Take it."

A voice from Dirk Carter beside her.

Tara then apprehensively accepted the money.

Once everything was settled.

Julian finally looked at Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter waved his hand, saying: "Alright, hurry up and leave, I don't want to see you again."

Like receiving amnesty.

Julian expressed his gratitude repeatedly.

Hurriedly got into the sports car, and with a roar, the three cars disappeared into the darkness completely.

"Who are they? Why do they act like mice encountering a cat when they see you?"

Noelle Meyer asked curiously.

Dirk Carter smiled.

He said, "Probably a second-generation official, their car windows had the pass for the Prospera City Compound."

Upon hearing this.

Noelle Meyer finally understood.

No matter whose offspring it was.

Driving a luxury car worth tens of millions to flaunt outside, and could be arrogant towards others, but encountering the Deputy Secretary of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection, even the dumbest person knows to avoid the edge.

This is why Julian feared Dirk Carter.

If the situation escalated.

It wouldn't just be about not getting benefits but also involving one's family unless one is completely oblivious, otherwise, everyone would make the same choice as Julian.

"With your character, you would certainly escalate the matter, why did you let them off today?"

Noelle Meyer asked with a smile.

Dirk Carter replied with a smile, "If I really escalated the matter, your hotel might not have business in the future, and that Tara, once I leave, Julian will retaliate against her, power is a double-edged sword, it can hurt others and also oneself."

After saying this.

Noelle Meyer and Dirk Carter walked toward the hall.

Before they could take the elevator.

Tara suddenly chased after them with a flushed face.

"Wait a moment."

Her shout.

Made Dirk Carter and Noelle Meyer turn around simultaneously.

"Thank you Ms. Meyer, thank you Mr. Carter, if it weren't for your presence today, I would probably..."

Tara deeply bowed to the two of them.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

He stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder.

Said: "Society is the best classroom, today you've learned a lesson, it's good you weren't scared, you have good conditions, being a host is too unfortunate..."

After saying this.

Dirk Carter took the elevator.

Once the door was closed.

Tara was still standing at the elevator entrance for a long time.

For Dirk Carter, it was just a shout at injustice.

He didn't know.

These words of encouragement would change Tara's entire life.

Many years later.

The two met again.

By that time, Tara had already become a prominent figure.

Two parallel lines that would never intersect, intertwined at that moment...

On the morning after the farewell banquet.

Dirk Carter reported to the Organization Department of the Novaria State Committee.

Got his transfer order from there.

In the afternoon, he took Elbert Rivers with him on the plane to Ronan City in Serenity State.

When the plane landed at Ronan City Airport.

Dirk Carter was filled with emotions.

Several years had passed since he left and returned to this place.

At the exit.

A beautiful woman, holding a little girl, was anxiously waiting.

The woman was Dorothy Zechariah.

As for the little girl, needless to say, she was Dirk Carter's daughter, Chelsea Carter.

Seeing Dirk Carter coming out.

Dorothy Zechariah could no longer restrain her longing.

She rushed over holding her daughter.

A short separation is sweeter than a new marriage.

The two hugged tightly.

Wishing they could melt into each other's bodies.

"Don't hug my mom, huh, bad guy!"

Amidst the entanglement.

The little girl by their feet punched Dirk Carter's thigh.

Dirk Carter then remembered his daughter.

Hurriedly squatted down.

Asked: "Why did you hit me?"

Penny, pouting, fists clenched, looking angry, repeated: "Mom is mine, you can't hug my mom."

"Penny, he's Dad, the Dad who often talks with you on the phone."

Dorothy Zechariah smiled holding her daughter in her arms, pointing at Dirk Carter and said.

Upon hearing this.

Chelsea then took a serious look.

Her eyes were clear and adorable, she asked: "Are you really my dad?"

"Yes, can't you recognize Dad's voice?"

At that moment.

Dirk Carter's heart was full of guilt.

He had been traveling outside all these years, almost never fulfilling a father's duty.

The child was already four and a half years old, the time spent with her was countable, so much so that his daughter couldn't even recognize him.

"Penny, quickly call Dad."

Dorothy encouraged beside her.

Chelsea then gathered her courage and softly called: "Dad..."

That 'dad' sound.

Melted Dirk Carter's heart.

He immediately hugged his daughter, picked her up, and said: "Come, Dad will take you and Mom home..."

Returning to his cozy little abode — no! Dorothy Zechariah's house couldn't be considered a small abode.

A luxurious mansion worth tens of millions, with a construction area of over 600 square meters, and a 1000 square meter garden, if this could be considered a small abode, it would indeed be too posh.

When the car drove in.

Two maids were already respectfully waiting at the door.

One was responsible for buying groceries, cooking, cleaning, and the other was responsible for taking care of Penny.

As soon as the three entered the door.

Dorothy Zechariah said to one of the maids: "Aunt Wu, take Penny out to play for a while, come back after dark."

Aunt Wu, being experienced, understood immediately what this meant.

Nodded: "Okay, madam."

Penny wasn't very happy hearing this, pouted and said: "I don't want to go out to play, I want to stay with Daddy, we just met..."

Aunt Wu covered her mouth with a smile.

Squatted down and said: "Penny, Dad and Mom have very important things to do, Aunt Wu will take you out to play, how about going to your favorite amusement park?"

Though unwilling.

Chelsea was obedient.

Muttered: "Okay."

Then she looked at Dirk Carter, asked: "Dad, will you still be at home when I come back?"

"At home, Dad promises definitely at home."

"Alright then, Aunt Wu let's go, Dad and Mom you do your important things first, Chelsea will be back in a bit."

After speaking, like a little adult, holding Aunt Wu's hand, she left excitedly...
