A Bumpy Road to Power

The other two quickly chimed in as well.

Evidently, the four of them had already caught on to what was happening.

Although they didn't know who this young man named Dirk Carter was, anyone who could have military backing was certainly no simple character.

Meanwhile, on Aurelius Hughes' side.

He couldn't get any help from The Hughes Family's closest relatives.

Nor could he muster any coercive means.

Going with the flow was their specialty, and employing it now didn't feel out of place at all.

What he thought was a trump card.

Had no intimidating effect on Dirk Carter.

Aurelius Hughes suddenly felt a bit flustered.

Seeing that the situation was slipping away.

Tiny beads of sweat began to appear on his forehead.

Dirk Carter slowly stood up.

He walked over to Aurelius Hughes.

Placed a hand on Aurelius Hughes' shoulder, and said, "Minister Hughes, I can give you The Hughes Family."

Dirk Carter's words.

Made Grant, Nora, and Yara Hughes suddenly look up with puzzled expressions.

Aurelius Hughes was also taken aback.

Uncertain what Dirk Carter was up to.

"But I have a condition. If you can fulfill it, I'll hand The Hughes Family over to you."

Dirk Carter said.

Aurelius Hughes saw a glimmer of hope and immediately asked, "What's the condition?"

"Simple, you need to resign from all your positions and live a peaceful life within The Hughes Family. Only then would I be comfortable handing it over to you."

"Impossible!"

Aurelius Hughes responded without thinking.

Dirk Carter had anticipated this outcome.

Pausing for a moment, he said, "In that case, today's farce should end now. I remember Old Hughes said you've already been kicked out of The Hughes Family, so from now on, aside from your surname being Hughes, don't involve yourself in any of The Hughes Family's matters. If you insist on causing trouble for yourself, next time I won't be lenient."

After saying these words.

Dirk Carter turned and said, "Alright, Elbert Rivers, see them out!"

Elbert Rivers nodded in agreement.

Gestured for the five of Aurelius Hughes' men to leave.

Though Aurelius Hughes felt wronged, he couldn't do anything at the moment.

Stomped his foot and said, "Dirk Carter, don't be smug, this matter isn't over, just wait, I'll deal with you sooner or later."

"See them out!"

Dirk Carter yelled again.

Elbert Rivers grabbed Aurelius Hughes' wrist.

Aurelius Hughes couldn't stand being humiliated.

Forcefully shook him off, yelling, "Don't touch me, I'll leave on my own!"

And just like that.

Aurelius Hughes came in a hurry and left in defeat.

The living room quieted down once more.

Once they left.

Nora Hughes quickly said, "Dirk, our eldest brother won't let this go, we know his nature."

"It's alright, he should be quite busy next."

Dirk Carter said leisurely.

Night had fallen.

It was time to rest.

The Hughes Family mansion was expansive.

Dirk Carter was assigned to a guest room on the second floor.

The past few days had indeed been tiring.

After taking a shower, Dirk Carter lay on the bed. Since he had now taken control of The Hughes Family, he needed to carefully consider how to steer this enormous ship, so as not to disappoint Old Hughes' hopes.

Just as drowsiness was creeping in.

Knock, knock, knock.

A faint knocking came at the door.

Who could it be at this hour?

Dirk Carter quickly wrapped a towel around himself.

Opened the door to find.

Yara Hughes had changed into her nightgown and appeared at the door.

"Hold on, let me change clothes."

Dirk Carter was about to turn around.

But Yara Hughes walked in regardless, shutting the door with a loud bang.

Hearing the door close.

Dirk Carter turned sharply and smiled, "Then I'll change in the bathroom."

"No need."

Yara Hughes replied.

Dirk Carter said, "This is rather impolite, let me change."

He was heading to the bathroom with his clothes when.

Yara Hughes said, "Dirk, turn around."

Dirk Carter instinctively turned around.

With just one glance, he was stunned.

The clothes in his hands slipped to the floor.

You see, when Yara Hughes came in, she was wearing a silk nightgown.

But at this moment.

She was completely naked.

Her fair, delicate skin, exquisite collarbones, those bouncy full breasts, her flat stomach, and below, the dark forest.

Coupled with her long legs.

Seeing this made Dirk Carter gulp, unable to resist swallowing.

Startled, as if realizing something.

He asked, "Yara, what are you…"

"How's my figure?"

Before finishing his question, Yara interrupted him.

Dirk Carter numbly nodded, "Your figure is exceptional."

"Do you like it?"

Yara asked again.

Dirk Carter instinctively nodded, then suddenly felt it was inappropriate, and quickly shook his head.

Still feeling uneasy.

With a trembling voice, he said, "I do like it, but… I mean your figure is really nice…"

Speaking incoherently.

Not making any sense.

At that moment.

Yara, barefoot, walked gracefully toward Dirk Carter.

With each step.

Those full breasts bounced more rhythmically.

Dirk Carter was a normal man, and in such a situation, a part of his body couldn't help but swell.

Before long.

Yara was standing in front of Dirk Carter.

He was only covered by a towel.

Yara pulled the towel lightly.

Dirk Carter's last covering fell to the ground.

Seeing what was between Dirk Carter's legs, she first showed a surprised expression, clearly not expecting such a size.

However, she quickly calmed down.

Saying, "It seems my figure is quite effective for you."

This obviously hinted that Dirk Carter's specific area had risen.

Startled, Dirk Carter hurriedly used his hands to cover it.

Stammeringly said, "Well… I was… well…"

Actions spoke louder than words.

The reaction of desire was the most truthful.

Words felt powerless.

Yara extended her slender fingers, climbing up Dirk Carter's muscles.

Her touch sent goosebumps all over.

"Big brother said I was just someone subdued beneath you, but we actually never had anything happen. However, what he said did remind me."

Yara said softly.

Dirk Carter swallowed hard and asked, "Reminded you of what?"

Yara's aloof demeanor was gone, replaced by a sultry expression.

Indeed, when a cold woman becomes wanton, ordinary women can't compare.

Her fingers glided down his torso.

Then brushed away Dirk Carter's obstructing hands, gripping his significant part.

With a piercing but enchanting gaze, she said, "I know you have some kind of relationship with Yvonne Donovan, you two are really involved, right?"

"Uh… about that…"

Dirk Carter stammered again, not knowing what to say.
