A Bumpy Road to Power

Dirk Carter patted Faron Walsh on the shoulder.

He said, "Mayor Walsh, don't worry, if I wanted to mess with you, I wouldn't have sent that message to you but to the State Commission for Discipline Inspection or your family. I, Dirk Carter, don't want to cause any unpleasantness. As long as Mayor Walsh doesn't stand against me, I guarantee that the matter of Isabelle will remain just Mayor Walsh's personal affair."

"Alright, thank you, Mayor Carter, thank you, Mayor Carter. Rest assured, Mayor Carter, I will definitely not oppose you, definitely not."

The usually arrogant Faron Walsh replied timidly.

Dirk Carter then turned and left.

What suddenly made Faron Walsh so fearful?

It was precisely the message he mentioned earlier.

He opened his phone and searched through the call history.

He saw a text message.

The message was sent by Dirk Carter.

It contained only three words.

Those were "Isabelle".

Why would a woman make Faron Walsh so afraid?

It has to start with his career.

Anyone who becomes a member of the municipal committee is certainly not an ordinary person.

Faron Walsh was such a person.

At 23, he entered the political scene, and in just 2 years, he was promoted to deputy division level, serving as the deputy director of a bureau in the county town.

Later, he met Jacqueline Wright, who worked in the same unit.

After the two got married, they had a son, Derick Walsh.

Over the years, Faron Walsh's career has been smooth sailing. Although he didn't rise with rocket speed, he was steady, and now, he has become a genuine leader in Veridia City.

A man, what he most wants is a successful career.

But what he most fears is also a successful career.

Three years ago.

Faron Walsh reached the leadership position of the municipal committee.

He began to feel life was empty.

He always felt that these days lacked a bit of passion.

Returning home, seeing his wife's bloated figure and sallow face, he no longer had any desire for her.

It was at this time.

During an inspection of a rural town, he met Isabelle in her twenties.

At that time, Isabelle was a family planning officer in a rural town and a freshly graduated intern.

Her youthful appearance and handsome figure instantly struck Faron Walsh's heart.

The rural town leaders also understood.

They noticed the desire in Faron Walsh's eyes.

That night, they arranged for Isabelle to accompany Faron Walsh for dinner.

After a couple of drinks, the two entered the room arranged by the others.

Under the influence of alcohol and driven by desire, Faron Walsh cheated for the first time.

On Isabelle's charming body, he regained the feeling of youth and masculinity. From then on, he couldn't stop. Isabelle became the canary he kept.

After being transferred from the countryside to the city.

The two pretended not to know each other on the surface but secretly had a clandestine relationship.

Suddenly one day.

Isabelle told Faron Walsh she was pregnant.

Faron Walsh was scared half to death at the time.

No matter what, this child cannot be born.

However, he strongly desired this child to be born.

Isabelle didn't want to be an unmarried mother and become the subject of gossip, so they discussed it and came up with a ridiculous idea.

That was to let his son Derick Walsh meet Isabelle blind date style, then facilitate this marriage so Isabelle could enter the Walsh Family as a daughter-in-law, living with Faron Walsh.

Moreover, the child could be born and become his Walsh Family's bloodline.

Under his arrangement.

Derick Walsh met Isabelle for the first time.

The striking looks, perfect figure, along with Isabelle's warm embrace.

That night, his woman had a romantic encounter with his son.

After dating for a month or two.

Isabelle produced a medical report for Derick Walsh, saying she was pregnant.

Derick Walsh never expected this child would be his father's, so he agreed to marry her.

Just like this.

Isabelle married into the Walsh Family, superficially as Derick's wife, but in reality, she was shared between father and son.

As long as Jacqueline Wright and son Derick Walsh weren't home.

The two would be passionately intimate.

Sometimes, while Derick was in the bathroom, Faron Walsh would slip into Isabelle's room for an exciting affair.

Two years.

The two fooled everyone.

So Faron Walsh couldn't understand how Dirk Carter knew the inside story.

Of course, he didn't dare to expose this matter.

Once the truth comes out.

An uproar by the son and wife would be a minor issue. He would be vilified by the public, and his career would be doomed, possibly unable to face anyone.

Due to knowing the seriousness of this matter.

Faron Walsh suddenly changed his tone; he didn't have the courage to face ruin and disgrace.

How did Dirk Carter get hold of such private information?

It's simple.

Provided by Claire Kane from The Empyrean Palace.

Even Dirk Carter sighed deeply when he saw this information.

Who would have thought that Faron Walsh, always praised for not indulging in women, actually played more promiscuously than anyone?

At ten o'clock at night.

A dejected and somewhat terrified Faron Walsh opened the house door.

In the instant the door opened.

Derick Walsh sitting on the sofa immediately stood up.

Anxiously asked, "Dad, how did it go?"

"What matter?"

Faron Walsh asked.

Wearing a loose-fitting nightgown, lounging on the sofa, his wife Jacqueline Wright also sat up.

Frowning, said, "What else could it be, it's about helping your son vent his anger."

"Right, Dad, did you give Dirk Carter a hard time?"

Derick asked with high expectations.

Faron Walsh said nothing.

He delivered a slap.

With a loud smack.

This slap was extremely loud.

Derick Walsh's face immediately displayed the prints of five fingers.

Stunned.

Derick was instantly stupefied.

Jacqueline Wright hurriedly rushed up, protecting her son, and complained to Faron Walsh, "What's wrong with you, why are you acting crazy? You come home and hit your son? Do you believe I'll fight you to death?"

Looking at the flesh on Jacqueline Wright's body.

Faron Walsh felt a wave of nausea.

Pointing at Derick, he shouted, "Ask your son about the good things he's done, stirring trouble outside all the time, and he even gave himself a nickname T-Rex. I'm the Deputy Mayor of Veridia City! Doing this, aren't you bringing disgrace to me? I warn you, stay away from Dirk Carter from now on. If I hear you still have conflicts with him, I'll break your legs."

Derick was fuming.

Been wronged outside, now he comes home and gets beaten by his father.

Can't hold it any longer.

Directly shrugged off his mother Jacqueline Wright, put on his shoes, and ran out.

Jacqueline Wright was infuriated.

While changing her shoes, she shouted at Faron Walsh, "If anything happens to your son, it'll be the end of us!"

Finished speaking.

She hurriedly chased after him.

Full of anger.

Faron Walsh plopped down on the sofa.

Just lit a cigarette when a burst of fragrance hit his face...
