A Bumpy Road to Power
Chapter 1032 - 1032
This scene gave him a whiff of danger.
He was just about to take out his phone to call the police.
A sense of suffocation hit him.
He was grabbed from behind by the neck.
His mouth was covered as well.
Then he was tied hand and foot, his mouth sealed with clear tape, and thrown into a burlap sack.
After a few hours of jostling, when things finally calmed down, he found himself in that abandoned school.
The person who kidnapped him was a henchman of Ironhead.
He repeatedly pressured Braulio Golding to hand over the photos taken that day, but the photos and videos were all with Mona; he didn't have them at all.
Ironhead realized he couldn't get what he wanted from him, so he took his phone, which led to the deception to lure Mona to Silverwood City.
Upon hearing this,
Mona suddenly realized.
She said to Braulio Golding, "The day you got caught, they came for me, too. Luckily, Dirk was with me, and I managed to escape. After that, I called you, but it was turned off. I didn't realize you had already been caught."
Braulio nodded.
Dirk Carter looked at Nancy Sharp.
He asked, "How did they catch you?"
Terror flickered in Nancy's eyes.
She sighed deeply and said, "It was because they got caught secretly taking photos..."
The problem indeed lay with Mona and Braulio.
After they got caught, Brent Lowell immediately ordered a thorough investigation of the theater.
You see, the top floor of the theater is not accessible to ordinary people, unless it was with his associates and the members of the dance troupe, who had magnetic cards to open the door to the top floor.
It was discovered during the inspection that Nancy Sharp's magnetic card was missing.
Because she gave it to Mona and Braulio.
Thus,
she was exposed.
Brent Lowell handed her over to Ironhead, saying they would discuss what to do with Nancy after the issue was resolved.
Fortunately, Dirk Carter sent someone to rescue her, otherwise, she dreaded to think how Brent Lowell would have mistreated her.
Upon hearing this,
everyone sighed a little.
Especially Mona and Braulio, who kept apologizing to Nancy Sharp; it was their oversight that led to Nancy's exposure, and they had to bear that responsibility.
"Alright, let's save the apologies for later. Miss Sharp, you're the one involved in this case, and you need to tell me more. Only then can we possibly hold Brent Lowell accountable for his actions."
Dirk Carter interrupted them.
Nancy Sharp looked at Mona.
Mona nodded encouragingly, saying, "You can trust Dirk; he's genuinely here to help us."
Nancy Sharp was silent for a moment.
She nodded and said, "Secretary General Carter, ask away. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you."
Dirk Carter sighed deeply, saying, "Tell me how you see Brent Lowell. What kind of person is he, really?"
Nancy Sharp paused.
She said, "How should I put it, Brent Lowell... he's very handsome, and at first glance, you'll be deceived by his looks..."
Nancy Sharp said Brent Lowell is a gentleman, seemingly polite and well-mannered, like an intellectual, dressed simply, and carrying himself with a refreshing air.
The first time she met Brent Lowell was a year ago, just after graduating from the dance academy and returning home. She intended to take some time off before finding a job related to dance.
Coincidentally, someone recommended the Majestic Peak Town Dance Ensemble to her.
By the way, it's important to mention here that Nancy Sharp is not from Silverwood City; she's from Rivenhall City in Novaria State.
She saw the Majestic Peak Town Dance Ensemble's recruitment notice online.
The salary was several times higher than usual places.
This piqued her interest.
So, after a simple packing, she set off on a journey to Majestic Peak Town.
Upon arriving at the Majestic Peak Town Dance Ensemble, she was greeted by the ensemble's director, a woman in her thirties named Jessica Lancaster.
Jessica Lancaster first detailed the salary and benefits package to her, and, seeing Nancy Sharp quite satisfied, she talked about the difficulty of joining the ensemble.
Because the benefits were good,
many wanted to join the ensemble.
The Xunxian Majestic ensemble required a maximum of 26 people during performances, with a reserve team of 10, so the total number of performers was 36.
At the moment, there was only one open position, but over 100 people had applied.
Standing out among so many was no easy feat; it required rigorous selection.
The so-called selection process was divided into three steps.
The first step: showcase your dance skills.
The second step: body presentation.
As for the third step, Jessica Lancaster didn't explain at the time, saying only those who passed the first two would be informed of the third round's content.
After getting Nancy Sharp's consent,
she was taken to a windowless room.
After showcasing her dance skills, Jessica Lancaster told her she could proceed to the second step, the body presentation.
Initially, she thought the body presentation involved wearing tight clothes or maybe a bikini to show her physique. Unexpectedly, Jessica Lancaster's demand was for her to completely undress.
This put Nancy Sharp in a difficult position.
After much internal struggle, she ultimately agreed.
The reasoning was simple.
In this empty room, there was only Jessica Lancaster, a woman, so even if she went completely naked, it wouldn't make any difference.
After undressing,
on Jessica Lancaster's request,
Nancy Sharp walked the catwalk and was asked to dance naked.
After finishing the presentation,
Jessica Lancaster told her she passed the second round.
This was excellent news.
Nancy Sharp was thrilled.
She quickly asked Jessica Lancaster what the third round entailed.
Jessica Lancaster didn't hold back.
She started by saying that over a hundred people went through the selection, and a dozen or so made it; the competition remained fierce. To advance smoothly, sacrifices had to be made.
Back then, Nancy Sharp thought Jessica Lancaster was asking for money and hurriedly said she would give a big red envelope if she made it through.
Jessica Lancaster, however, didn't respond to that.
She only said that she wasn't the sole decider in the selection process.
Then she pointed to a full-length mirror on the wall, saying this mirror was a one-way mirror, and behind it, a man had been observing the entire selection process.
Nancy Sharp was terrified.
To think she had been naked just moments ago.
In other words, her body had been fully exposed to a stranger.
