A Bumpy Road to Power

"Hehe, Secretary Young is joking, there's nothing special about a friend who sent a broken bottle."

Kent Hamilton waved his hand and said.

Does Cora Young really want to meet that person?

Of course not!

She just wanted to see Kent Hamilton's reaction.

After all, as the Secretary of the Discipline Commission, Cora Young picked up on the subtle details in Kent Hamilton's expression.

Nervousness, awkwardness, restlessness—all seemed to indicate that the origin of the porcelain bottle was dubious.

Thinking back to the power-for-money deal she had with Kent Hamilton.

At that moment.

Cora Young had already concluded that all the treasures in her room had likely been embezzled by Kent Hamilton through some means.

On the surface, nothing seemed amiss.

But deep down, she was already burning with anger.

Kent Hamilton's face had become increasingly grating to her.

"Secretary Young, the tea is ready, would you like to have some?"

Kent Hamilton's words interrupted Cora Young's thoughts.

She shifted the topic.

Saying: "Director Huang, I'm here today because of Davina Brooks."

Upon hearing this.

Kent Hamilton was startled and said: "Hasn't the Davina Brooks case already been closed?"

"It is closed, but Davina Brooks' husband is not satisfied. Things have gotten a bit heated these days, and I can't suppress it on my end, so I came to discuss it with you."

"Damn it, ungrateful fool, I'll have him detained right now."

Kent Hamilton exploded in anger.

He pulled out his phone to make a call.

Cora Young coughed lightly.

Cleared her throat.

Sternly said: "Director Huang, what do you mean by this? Retaliating against the whistleblower? You as the Police Chief, don't seem to want the job anymore, do you?"

Kent Hamilton was momentarily dumbfounded.

He looked at Cora Young as if he didn't recognize her.

Stammered and asked: "Secretary Young, you mean..."

Cora Young did not sit down, instead, she stated expressionlessly: "I can't handle this matter on my end, so I'm here to inform you. As for what to do, I'll give you two hours to think about it..."

After saying this.

Cora Young prepared to turn and leave.

Kent Hamilton also became furious.

He stood up abruptly and bellowed: "Yang, don't push it. I gave what I was supposed to, and you've received what you should. Now you're pulling this on me, do you think I'm easy to bully?"

Cora Young paused her steps.

Turned to ask: "Director Huang, is that a no need to consider?"

"Consider my ass, go ahead if you want to bite me, it doesn't matter, go ahead, at worst we fight to the death, who's afraid of whom?"

"Alright, that's what you said, don't blame me for not warning you beforehand."

After saying this.

Cora Young left straight away.

As she left.

Kent Hamilton, in a fit of rage, swept the teaware off the coffee table onto the ground.

Clattering sounds echoed as they shattered.

Why was Kent Hamilton so angry?

It all comes back to one person.

That person is Davina Brooks.

The Davina Brooks case happened two years ago, and it shook the entire police community back then, of course, the matter was eventually settled.

Kent Hamilton spent a lot of money.

And the recipient of that money was naturally Cora Young.

Davina Brooks was previously an auxiliary police officer with the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Immigration Management Brigade.

Two years ago.

Police Chief Kent Hamilton went to the Immigration Service Center for a research guidance visit and instantly took a liking to the fair-skinned and pretty auxiliary officer, Davina Brooks.

Indeed, Davina Brooks is quite beautiful.

And with a voluptuous and curvy body, she was like an irresistible allure.

Kent Hamilton was no saint either.

After going back, he couldn't stop thinking about Davina Brooks, and his secretary knew his boss well enough.

Immediately ordered, under the guise of redeployment, to transfer Davina Brooks to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's office.

On her first day at the job.

The secretary informed Davina Brooks that there was a drinking occasion that evening for her to attend.

Davina Brooks never imagined that this so-called drinking occasion would turn out to be a nightmare from which she would never wake.

That day, she only drank a glass of water handed over by the secretary, and she soon felt drowsy and fell asleep. By the time she awoke, feeling a sharp pain below, she looked up to find Chief Kent Hamilton busy on top of her.

Sweating profusely, he seemed to be quite enjoying himself.

Davina Brooks wanted to resist.

But she had no strength left in her body.

And just like that, she was ravaged by Kent Hamilton.

After it all, Davina Brooks wept and claimed she would report Kent Hamilton to the Discipline Inspection Commission.

No matter how much money or promises of permanent employment Kent Hamilton offered, nothing could pacify her.

Kent Hamilton feared repercussions.

Decided to go all out, directly pinning drug trafficking charges on her, and she was arrested.

For a Police Chief, fabricating evidence was not too difficult, and just like that, the upright Davina Brooks was sent to the detention center, eliminating any chance of accusing Kent Hamilton.

Davina Brooks' husband.

Was also a police officer.

Of course, he knew his wife couldn't possibly be involved in drug trafficking.

Investigating in secret, he found that his wife appeared at a certain hotel, and at that time, Kent Hamilton was also seen at the same hotel. It was obvious that there was something fishy going on, and so he approached the Discipline Inspection Commission, requesting them to intervene and clear his wife's name.

Kent Hamilton knew.

As long as the Discipline Inspection Commission interrogated Davina Brooks, it could reveal flaws.

So, he approached Cora Young, handing her four hundred and eighty thousand in three installments, asking Cora Young to help him eliminate this trouble.

Cora Young took the money and naturally did the work.

Cooperating with Kent Hamilton to make Davina Brooks' charges stick.

Later, Davina Brooks was sentenced to a seven-year imprisonment, creating a clear-cut miscarriage of justice.

The case had been closed for two years now.

Kent Hamilton had nearly forgotten about the whole affair.

Never would he have imagined that Cora Young would bring it up again today.

Even if Davina Brooks accused him of rape now, there wouldn't be any evidence, but who could guarantee that the Discipline Inspection Commission didn't keep some other evidence from their investigation at that time?

Thinking to this point.

Kent Hamilton started feeling anxious.

Just when he was feeling vexed and didn't know what to do, there was another knock on the door.

He was annoyed.

Didn't want to respond.

But when he looked up, he saw that the person standing at the door was Dirk Carter.

"Mayor Carter, why are you here?"

Kent Hamilton asked.

Dirk Carter turned around and pointed, saying: "I just saw Secretary Young leave in a huff, what's going on? Did you have a conflict with Secretary Young?"

Kent Hamilton didn't want to share his issues with an outsider.

Irritably said: "Nothing, work stuff, a little friction is normal, Mayor Carter, did you need something from me?"

"Oh, nothing much, just bored and came by to say hi, if you're busy, I'll just leave."

Dirk Carter pretended to leave.

Kent Hamilton suddenly remembered that Dirk Carter's issue today was resolved by the State Commission for Discipline Inspection's Secretary himself, and immediately became alert, calling: "Mayor Carter, stay!"

He stood up directly.

Putting on a smiling face.

Proactively approached.

Grasped Dirk Carter's hand and said: "Brother Carter, how can I not entertain you properly when you visit, please, have a seat!"

"Am I not interrupting?"

"Of course not, with you here, no matter how busy I am, I have the time to spare for some tea with you, don't I?"

Kent Hamilton feigned annoyance and said.
