Chapter 1064 - 1064

Astrid Giles left with Megan Goodman about five minutes ago.

Dirk Carter returned after attending a meeting.

The guard saw him, greeted him, and was about to tell him about Megan Goodman's visit when just at that moment, a phone call came in.

This made it impossible for the guard to approach and interrupt.

The call was from Rapp Carter, the director of the Commission for Discipline Inspection office.

He told Dirk Carter on the phone that Lane Quincy's wife and child had come looking for him, causing a disturbance in his office for a while, urging Dirk Carter to quickly come back and resolve it.

Receiving this call.

Dirk Carter also felt a headache.

Just as he came out of the elevator.

Rapp Carter took three steps into two to greet him.

"What's the situation?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Rapp Carter frowned and said, "Lane Quincy's wife, Hannah Jacobson, and his son, what's his name again..."

"Brynn Quincy."

Dirk Carter reminded him.

Rapp Carter nodded repeatedly.

Saying, "Yes, yes, Brynn Quincy, he came too, stormed into your office without saying a word, can't be calmed down, very irritable..."

"I've dealt with it before, alright, I'll handle it."

Dirk Carter said.

He steadied himself as he arrived at his office door.

Upon pushing the door open, he heard Hannah Jacobson cursing crudely.

Maybe she also heard the door opening.

Hannah Jacobson on the sofa and Brynn Quincy standing immediately turned around.

Seeing that it was Dirk Carter.

Without saying a word, Hannah Jacobson rushed up and grabbed Dirk Carter's collar, raving, "Dirk Carter, are you still human? Where did you take old Quincy? You better bring him back..."

In this situation.

Elbert Rivers was about to step in.

But was stopped by a glance from Dirk Carter.

"Alright, Secretary Rivers, you can leave."

Dirk Carter said.

Elbert Rivers hesitated for a moment but ultimately left after closing the door.

"Dirk Carter, you better speak up, don't think that by staying silent I'll let you off, I'm telling you, if I don't see old Quincy today, you're not hearing the end of it..."

Hannah Jacobson continued to babble nonstop.

Tugging at Dirk Carter's collar.

Dirk Carter's face suddenly fell, and in a low voice he said, "If you can't speak properly, then forget about ever seeing Secretary Quincy again."

These words indeed had an effect.

Hannah Jacobson froze.

Her tugging hand also loosened.

Dirk Carter adjusted his collar and pointed to the sofa, saying, "Sit down, let's talk properly."

Brynn Quincy hurriedly stepped up to support Hannah Jacobson, who also sat down sulkily on the sofa, her face full of anger, her head turned away from Dirk Carter.

Dirk Carter sat down opposite them.

Sighing deeply.

He said, "Secretary Quincy has served in leadership for a lifetime, as relatives of a leader, you should know, Secretary Quincy is a state-managed cadre. I don't have the authority to arrest him. He's at the State Commission for Discipline Inspection now, you should go find them, not me."

These words immediately rekindled Hannah Jacobson's fury.

"You're trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you? Everyone in Silverwood City knows old Quincy was brought down by you. I don't care; you must release him immediately, or I'll stay here indefinitely."

Hannah Jacobson, accustomed to being overbearing.

Was entirely irrational.

After saying this, she directly lay down on the sofa.

This stance suggested she was prepared to hang along with Dirk Carter for the long term.

Dirk Carter knew communication with Hannah Jacobson was impossible.

He looked at the dejected Brynn Quincy.

Being the son of a deputy secretary of the municipal committee, Brynn Quincy received plenty of privileges.

No matter what occasion he appeared at.

There were always people proactively flattering him, and that was vastly glorious.

Since the news of Lane Quincy's arrest spread.

Many companies immediately canceled their partnerships with Brynn Quincy.

He called people for help, only to be met with cold mockery or avoidance.

In short.

Within these couple of days, he's tasted what "the warmth or coldness of human relationships" means.

Without Lane Quincy, Brynn Quincy was nothing.

"You've already gone to see Secretary General Carter, right? What did he say?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Brynn Quincy swallowed.

Timidly said, "Secretary General Carter said dad is suspected of hiring a hitman to kill, and definitely won't be released for the time being."

Dirk Carter nodded.

Sighed and said, "Secretary General Carter is the leader of the State Commission for Discipline Inspection; he's said this much, what can I do?"

As those words fell.

Brynn Quincy suddenly knelt to the ground in front of Dirk Carter.

Using a sorrow-laden voice, he said, "Chairman... Chairman Carter, I've been wrong in the past, I shouldn't have opposed you, I shouldn't have tried to take your woman. I'll give up on Mona, I won't compete with you, please find a way to save my dad, won't you please try to save my dad?"

Seeing this.

Dirk Carter immediately moved forward.

Helped Brynn Quincy up, saying, "Stand up, let's talk."

"I won't get up unless you promise me..."

Brynn Quincy stubbornly said.

One causing a scene, the other being unreasonable, Dirk Carter was utterly helpless.

He sighed deeply and said, "It's not that I won't save Secretary Quincy, but my abilities are limited. This case has gone beyond just a criminal issue. How about you give me some time, I'll think of a way."

"You promise?"

Brynn Quincy looked up, eyes filled with hope while asking.

With no escape route.

Dirk Carter had no choice but to nod, saying, "I promise you, give me... give me half a month, I'll resolve this within half a month."

These words.

Finally brought excitement to Brynn Quincy.

He got up from the ground.

Hannah Jacobson's expression also softened significantly.

And she put her feet down from the sofa.

"Chairman... Chairman Carter, you won't trick us, right?"

Hannah Jacobson asked suspiciously.

Dirk Carter shook his head, speaking bitterly, "I, Dirk Carter, have always done what I said. Secretary Quincy's matter, I will pay attention to, I assure you."

These words.

Made the domineering Hannah Jacobson's eyes immediately wet with tears.

She stood up.

Grabbing Dirk Carter's hand.

In a trembling voice, she said, "Chairman... Chairman Carter, I... I don't know what to say, in the past... in the past we treated you like that... yet you're willing to help old Carter... I... I'll bow to you..."

Saying this, she was about to kneel.

This time Dirk Carter was prepared in advance.

He immediately stopped her.

"Aunt Hannah, between us, there's no real deep-seated hatred, let past things be past, you both go home and wait for news. As soon as there's progress, I'll notify Brynn first thing, does that suit you?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Hannah Jacobson nodded repeatedly, saying, "Alright, I'll go home and wait, let's go, Brynn, we'll go home and wait... we won't give Chairman Carter any trouble..."

After saying this.

With Brynn Quincy's support.

The two left shakily.

At that moment, for some reason, Dirk Carter felt a trace of heartache too.

It's not that he pities the Quincy Family.

After all, in a certain sense, Lane Quincy really brought this upon himself.

If it weren't for his narrow-mindedness, how would he have been used?

But he's contemplating, after a high-ranking leader suffers injustice, even reaching for vindication is so difficult, what about those ordinary citizens who are wronged, isn't it like climbing a mountain to clear their names?
