A Bumpy Road to Power

This novel idea was endorsed by another man.

Thus.

Both men simultaneously stripped off their clothes.

One climbed onto the bed, spread his legs, and ordered viciously towards Liza Yuill: "Open your mouth, suck."

Right now, Liza Yuill was nothing more than a piece of meat on a chopping board.

Could she still resist?

She could only obediently open her mouth and swallow the gun before her.

At the same time.

A tightness below.

The other man also urgently thrust in, aiming at the bullseye.

Both men began their assault on Liza Yuill almost simultaneously.

This ordeal lasted for about an hour.

They continuously changed positions, up and down.

In their eyes, Liza Yuill was nothing more than a machine to satisfy their animalistic desires.

Finally, when both men were satisfied.

One man let out a long sigh and said, "Time to get to work."

The other man grabbed Liza Yuill's hair forcefully and dragged her directly from the bed and into the bathroom.

By this point, the bathtub was already full.

The two intended to stage Liza Yuill's drowning in the bathtub as an accident while bathing.

They quickly set up the scene.

One man grabbed her hair, preparing to force her head into the bathtub.

At that moment, Liza Yuill was almost unconscious with fear.

Her mind was a void of despair.

She once longed for a bright future, but who could have foreseen death beckoning her?

Regret filled her heart boundlessly.

But it was all too late.

With a splash.

Her head was forcibly submerged into the water.

Another bout of suffocation.

She thought this time it was certain death.

Suddenly, she felt the hand pressing her relax.

Her head emerged from the water, eyes, nose, mouth filled with water, and she began to cough desperately.

Once she somewhat recovered.

She forced her eyes open, only to find the two men who had "bullied" her lying bare in front of her.

On each of the man's bodies.

A foot was stepping down.

Following the foot upward.

Standing before her were Ewan Forrest and Rose Forrest.

Behind them stood Dirk Carter.

In a daze.

Her mind was stunned.

She couldn't fathom why Dirk Carter appeared at this moment.

"Come on, call the person who sent you here, tell him the mission is accomplished."

Dirk Carter searched the men's clothing pockets and retrieved their phones, checked them, discovering that a call made more than an hour ago was from Edgardo Houseman.

Both men were quite stubborn, refusing adamantly.

Ewan Forrest picked up the knife they had just used from the floor.

Directly pointed the tip at one man's vital part, saying, "Make the call? If not, I'll cut it off."

As force was applied.

The sharp knife already etched a wound.

The man finally panicked.

Said, "I'll call, I'll call now."

Before Dirk Carter, he dialed Edgardo Houseman's number.

The call was quickly answered.

"Why so long?"

Edgardo Houseman voiced some complaint over the phone.

The man gave a fearful glance at the knife between his legs, said, "Because of some issues, it was delayed, but now it's all sorted."

"You two didn't rough her up too much, did you? I know, you didn't leave any evidence, right?"

"No, no, definitely not, handled very cleanly."

The man replied.

Hearing this, Edgardo Houseman seemed pleased over the phone, muttering, "Fine, as long as it's clean, now the notebook is in our hands, Rasco Shaw, the old geezer, won't dare disobey anymore."

With a click.

The call was disconnected.

Dirk Carter snapped his fingers.

Ewan Forrest and Rose Forrest activated almost simultaneously.

Both delivered swift kicks to the men's heads.

With a grunt.

The men were knocked out cold.

A few subordinates entered, dragging the men out.

Once everything was clean again, Liza Yuill was wrapped in a bath towel, sitting trembling on the sofa.

"Get her a cup of hot water."

Dirk Carter said.

Soon.

Rose Forrest placed a cup of hot water in front of Liza Yuill.

Liza Yuill held it desperately, feeling a trace of warmth, slightly relieving her lingering fright.

"You heard it, Edgardo Houseman never intended to leave any survivors, Julia Giles."

Initially Liza Yuill had her head lowered.

Upon hearing "Julia Giles," she jolted and looked up at Dirk Carter with disbelief.

Dirk Carter smiled softly.

He sat down opposite her.

Spoke: "Julia Giles, 27 this year, debuted at 18 as a member of a girl group in Corovia. Unfortunately, never caught much attention, returned home at 24 to further her career. Signing with an agency didn't improve her fate, singles released and dramas starred in were ineffective, offended the boss along the way and ended up sidelined..."

Subsequently.

Julia Giles didn't lay low.

To maintain high consumption.

As a C-list celebrity, she became a high-priced escort and, in the process, encountered drugs.

During a casual anti-drug operation, she was caught.

Later sent to rehab for detox.

Before long, noticed by Edgardo Houseman, she was given a whole new identity, repackaged to become a flight attendant, intended to approach Dirk Carter.

Upon reaching this point.

Liza Yuill raised her head and asked, "Aren't you overthinking it? Even if I became a flight attendant, it didn't guarantee I could reach you?"

Dirk Carter chuckled.

Said, "Alone you couldn't, needed collaboration from others, this person being Ezekiel Sawyer, the so-called arrest and shootout were all parts of the facade. All I can say is, in approaching me, you certainly went all out."

Dirk Carter mentioning Ezekiel Sawyer.

Liza Yuill was deeply moved.

The last layer of her heart's defenses collapsed entirely.

She incredulously looked up, asked, "So, from the beginning, you knew my identity?"

Dirk Carter shook his head.

Stated, "Truthfully, your identity is well hidden, it's not you who was exposed, but Ezekiel Sawyer."

Initially.

Dirk Carter anticipated that Glenn or Norman Ross's positions would be replaced by someone from the Houseman Family, so when Norman Ross was taken away, he concluded, whoever succeeds Norman Ross is precisely the one arranged by the Houseman Family.

When Ezekiel Sawyer's appointment was announced.

No matter his disbelief, Dirk Carter mostly confirmed Ezekiel Sawyer's stance.

If Ezekiel Sawyer had discrepancies.

Then Liza Yuill, who knew Ezekiel Sawyer concurrently, naturally had discrepancies too.

Dirk Carter kept pondering Liza Yuill's purpose in approaching him.

If it was to kill him, it clearly wasn't possible, Liza Yuill lacked that capability.

Another motive was surveillance on him.

This possibility, though existent, was slim, since Dirk Carter rarely discussed work affairs at home.

When these two possibilities were dismissed.

Only one possibility remained.
