A Bumpy Road to Power

Mentioning boyfriend and best friend.

Dallas Lewis and Eloise Wadsworth both shivered slightly.

Eloise immediately came over and asked curiously, "Mayor Carter, what boyfriend and best friend?"

"Oh, it's like this. When our government was discussing cooperation with Liza Yuill, she mentioned two additional conditions. The first was about her boyfriend; she hoped that after the cooperation was completed, the government could provide funds to help her boyfriend hold a national art exhibition."

"What about her best friend?"

Eloise swallowed and asked.

Dirk Carter pondered for a moment and said, "It seems she wanted help for her best friend in securing a permanent position and housing allocation."

Torment.

Truly excruciating torment.

Everything Dirk Carter said was exactly what they desired the most.

The two of them froze on the spot.

As for Liza Yuill, if her entire face hadn't been covered by the quilt, she probably would have laughed out loud.

In a flash.

Both made a judgment.

Seeing this, Dirk Carter figured the setup was about right; it was time to leave.

He turned to Liza Yuill and said, "Comrade Yuill, I'll go outside to see if the police officers have arrived. I'll come back to see you later; you should rest for now."

After speaking.

He walked straight out of the ward.

Of course, he didn't go far.

Instead, he stayed not too far from the door.

"Liza, Liza, was what Mayor Carter just said true? Did you really propose to help me organize a national art exhibition?"

Dallas Lewis couldn't hold back.

As soon as Dirk Carter disappeared, he rushed to Liza Yuill's side and asked fervently.

Liza had already composed her expression.

She said, "Sorry, that was a previous condition and is no longer valid. Didn't you come here today to break up with me?"

"Who said I wanted to break up with you? I came today to confess my wrongdoing; Eloise seduced me, and I lost control, making the mistake that every man might make. Could you forgive me this once? I promise to treat you well in the future."

"What do you mean I seduced you? Clearly, you came to me, telling me that Liza wouldn't let you sleep, always acting like a Holy Daughter. How can you blame me now?"

Eloise retorted.

She also quickly put on a smile.

She said to Liza, "Liza, I brought this man here today to show you his ugly face so that you can see the truth. We are best friends; I did all this for your own good."

"Bitch, you're really shameless!"

To win Liza Yuill's heart.

Dallas Lewis slapped Eloise Wadsworth in the face and shouted at him.

Eloise was also enraged.

She extended her long nails and scratched at Dallas Lewis.

Dallas wasn't robust to begin with.

As they tussled back and forth.

His face got several scratches.

Watching the "spectacular" performance of the two.

Liza didn't say a word.

She knew this was Dirk Carter standing up for her, and she mustn't squander his goodwill.

At this time.

It was time for the police to make an appearance.

Just as the two were rolling on the ground, harming each other.

A few police officers rushed in.

Separated the two.

No one came out well.

Dallas Lewis had several scars on his face and neck.

Eloise's eye was swollen, and her nose was bleeding.

Even after the police separated them, they continued to curse at each other, unwilling to back down.

Half an hour ago, the two were sweetly and lovingly "demonstrating" with Liza Yuill. Now, just a short time later, they had turned against each other over interests.

"Officer, he hit me first, quickly arrest him."

Eloise wiped the blood under her nose and said.

Dallas also refused to be outdone and shouted, "Officer, look at how he scratched me—this is intentional assault, arrest her first."

"Officer, he sells fake paintings; the ones in his studio warehouse are all fakes. You'll find them easily if you search."

"Officer, she isn't good either; she seduces passengers on the plane, offering prostitution services. You should arrest her!"

Now this was good.

There was unexpected success.

The two dogs were biting each other, unwittingly exposing their dark sides.

It was only when both were handcuffed and taken away.

That they realized.

Unable to resist explaining.

But, what use was that?

After the disheveled two were taken away, the police also left.

Dirk Carter pushed the door open and entered the ward again.

Liza Yuill lay in the hospital bed with eyes wide open, somewhat dazed at that moment.

"What's wrong? Feeling sad?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Liza wanted to sit up.

But Dirk Carter pressed her back down.

"No, they are the ones who hurt me. Why should I be sad?"

Liza said.

Dirk Carter smiled slightly.

He said, "Right, don't be sad for people who aren't worth it. You're a good girl, and you'll definitely meet someone more suitable for you."

These words.

Made Liza's face a bit flush.

She said to Dirk Carter, "Thank you."

"I should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, those bad people wouldn't have been caught. I'm sorry you had to suffer."

Dirk Carter said.

These words made Liza feel even more ashamed.

The two chatted sporadically.

Dirk Carter suddenly noticed a detail.

That was Liza Yuill's expression was somewhat odd; her legs under the covers couldn't help but move, looking very uncomfortable.

"What's wrong with you? Isn't it your shoulder that's injured? Why does it look like your leg is uncomfortable too?"

He shouldn't have asked.

When he did.

Liza's face grew even redder.

She stammered and said, "No... nothing."

Dirk Carter suddenly thought.

His mind flashed to when Liza's "forest" was trimmed by Emeric Yule.

Estimating those uneven hairs were causing discomfort.

"Um... how about I find a nurse to come in and help you… trim there again."

Getting seen through by Dirk Carter.

Made Liza feel even more embarrassed.

She quickly waved her hand, saying, "No need, no need, wait… wait for the hair to grow, it'll be fine, it's… it's okay."

"Those nurses often do this kind of work, they're very professional."

Dirk Carter thought she was being shy.

So he stood up.

Liza grabbed his hand and said, "I… I don't want to, there… too much hair… I don't want… I don't want others to see."

"Then… let me help you trim it. I've… I've seen it before, you don't have to be shy."

Dirk Carter made up his mind and asked her.

Initially, he thought Liza would refuse again.

Unexpectedly, after a moment of pondering, she asked, "Really? Is it no trouble for you?"

"No, it's just like shaving, right? Wait a moment, I'll go downstairs to buy a razor."

After speaking.

Dirk Carter turned and left.

Not long after he left.

A doctor wearing a white coat and mask walked in.

First checked the IV bottle.

Then, in front of Liza Yuill, removed the mask.
