Chapter 1038 - 1038

"So, you're trying to force Reginald Goodman to withdraw from the election?"

Athena Meyer has some political savvy; she saw through Dirk Carter's intentions.

Dirk Carter nodded slightly and said, "This method is the middle way. I can't afford to offend either Hadley Thorne or Colter Hall right now, so this is the only way."

After speaking.

He looked at Elbert Rivers and said, "I'll give you a day to secure the dinner meeting."

"I'll give it a try."

Elbert Rivers nodded and said.

Dirk Carter patted him on the shoulder and said, "You can't just try; you must make it happen. You've just arrived at the Municipal Government, and making some friends won't attract attention. You're the best person for this task."

"Alright, I'll go now."

Elbert Rivers nodded and then left.

...

10:00 AM.

Villa.

The weather wasn't too hot today.

Mona simply turned off the air conditioning.

Sitting on the bay window in the room, hugging her legs, looking at the azure sky, it was clear that Dirk Carter's appearance had completely disrupted her heart.

Knock knock knock.

A knocking sound came.

Mona didn't have time to speak.

The door was pushed open.

Braulio Golding looked back to ensure no one was around and walked straight in, locking the door behind him.

"Does your arm not hurt anymore?"

Mona asked.

Braulio Golding shook his head and said, "It's not that painful anymore."

After speaking.

Braulio Golding walked to the window, hugged Mona's head, and was about to kiss her when Mona rejected him.

"What's wrong with you...?"

Braulio Golding complained.

Mona shook her head, forcing a smile, and said, "I'm fine, just bothered by recent events."

"What's there to be bothered about? Didn't Nancy Sharp get rescued? We have nothing to worry about anymore. You don't know how much I've missed you these past two days when I was detained."

After saying that.

Braulio Golding took a step back.

The robe on her body slipped to the floor, revealing a slender, perfect body.

Under the robe, there was nothing but air; she was wearing nothing.

Mona was stunned.

At that moment, her heart was full of struggle.

Braulio Golding didn't care that much.

She began unbuttoning Mona's shirt one by one.

Soon.

The shirt was thrown to the floor.

Then.

The bra was also undone.

Mona's fuller bosom was exposed.

Braulio Golding could hardly control herself, grabbing Mona's chest and started sucking.

In contrast, Mona lay motionless like a corpse, letting her "busy."

By the time they moved from the window to the bed, Mona was also completely naked.

The bodies of two women tangled together.

Braulio Golding was working hard.

After a bout of "bare-skinned battle."

She moved between Mona's legs.

After spreading her legs, she eagerly licked her lips, about to move in closer.

Mona shivered.

Suddenly sat up.

"What's wrong?"

Braulio Golding asked, a bit surprised.

Mona waved her hand and said, "Nothing, I just don't feel in the mood."

Braulio Golding seemed to understand.

Asked, "Are you infatuated with Dirk Carter?"

"No, I don't even like men."

Mona replied.

Braulio Golding breathed a sigh of relief.

Snuggled up to Mona, her fingers rubbing her chest, saying, "Mona, didn't you always say, there isn't a good man in the world, especially Dirk Carter? He even tried to peek at me while I was showering yesterday, you saw it with your own eyes..."

"Didn't I tell you, he was just bringing you some ointment, and he didn't know you were a woman."

Mona defended.

Braulio Golding snorted coldly, "Hmph, excuses, anyone can make up. He's not a good person. Don't be fooled by him. I'm the one who loves you the most in this world; no one compares..."

"Alright, I get it, can we not talk about this today? I just want some peace..."

Mona said.

Braulio Golding reluctantly.

Had to get off the bed.

When she opened the door to leave, she glanced back at Mona.

The jealousy in her eyes slowly turned into anger. In the end, there was even a hint of viciousness...

7:00 PM.

The Hundred Flavors Restaurant in Silverwood City.

Elbert Rivers was nervously pacing at the entrance.

Tonight, he was the main character, hosting a guest in the private room of this restaurant, the guest being the Deputy Secretary-General of the Municipal Government Office, Reginald Goodman.

Earlier in the day.

Elbert Rivers visited Reginald Goodman under the guise of Dirk Carter's secretary and Deputy Director of the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection Office.

He also brought him a box of premium tea leaves.

Using the pretense of being a newcomer making friends, he complimented Reginald Goodman excessively.

Making Reginald Goodman very pleased.

As a result.

Elbert Rivers successfully accomplished the task of inviting Reginald Goodman to dinner.

He didn't have to wait long.

A taxi pulled up at the entrance.

Elbert Rivers quickly stepped forward, helped open the car door for Reginald Goodman, and eagerly greeted him.

Then the two, shoulder to shoulder, chatted animatedly as they entered the private room.

Once seated.

Reginald Goodman noticed the two bottles of Maotai on the dining table.

He smiled and said, "Secretary Rivers? Drinking such good wine today?"

Elbert Rivers said, "As you said, in the future in Silverwood City, I hope to rely more on Secretary Goodman, so I must show some sincerity..."

"Hahaha, Secretary Rivers, you know how to talk. Mutual care, mutual care..."

Reginald Goodman modestly replied.

Then the two got down to "business."

Raising glasses and exchanging drinks lively.

Seeing the two bottles of wine almost empty.

Though Reginald Goodman was somewhat intoxicated, his good tolerance meant he was still more than half sober.

According to Dirk Carter's initial plan, Elbert Rivers needed to appear drunk.

He staggered, telling Reginald Goodman he couldn't go on.

Seeing this, Reginald Goodman quickly said, "Will, dear brother, it seems we're done here, let's head out... Come, I'll take you home..."

"No need, I'm not drunk; I have good capacity, let's keep drinking..."

"No, no, you're already drunk. We'll drink next time; next time, it's on me..."

After a round of drinking, the two were already calling each other brothers.

Elbert Rivers didn't insist, stumbling as Reginald Goodman helped him out of the restaurant.

After asking where Elbert Rivers lived.

Reginald Goodman hailed a cab and accompanied him to Elbert Rivers' residential complex.

At Elbert Rivers' door.

Reginald Goodman began searching him for keys to open the door.

It was at that moment the door opened.

Reginald Goodman looked up, and his eyes immediately widened.

Standing before him was a tall, beautiful woman.

The woman was wearing a sheer negligee, though it covered well, inside, her black lingerie was faintly visible.

Especially those long, shining white legs.

Reginald Goodman couldn't take his eyes off them.

This woman was none other than Nancy Sharp, arranged by Dirk Carter, now assuming the role of Elbert Rivers' wife.
