A Bumpy Road to Power
Chapter 1067 - 1067
Do you think this is the end?
No, it's not!
It's merely the beginning of the nightmare.
See the crimson nail marks left on Megan Goodman's skin.
Astrid Giles looked excited.
She actually laughed out loud, showing a satisfied expression on her face.
After finishing with the right white rabbit, she switched to the left, alternately kneading and ravaging, until both mounds of whiteness were covered in such horror.
Then she felt a little tired.
First, she took out a syringe from the drawer.
Injected some unknown liquid into Megan Goodman's arm.
When Megan Goodman could no longer keep awake and began to doze off.
Only then did she take off her robe, presenting a naked state, lay down beside Megan Goodman, embraced her tender body, and peacefully drifted into dreamland.
Today is the first day of the nightmare.
By the second day when she woke up, it was already daylight.
She opened her eyes to see not Astrid Giles, but a similarly abused Polly.
She stared at Megan Goodman, yet something was missing in her gaze.
"Help me, help me..."
Megan Goodman cried out.
Only then did she realize she had surprisingly regained some strength.
She suddenly scrambled up from the bed, realizing her feet were fastened to the iron frame at the foot of the bed.
These were two thick iron chains, and escaping was simply impossible.
"Eat something."
Polly pointed to the bedside.
Where there was a tray with fruits, milk, and a delicate dessert.
Megan Goodman couldn't eat at all.
In a pleading tone, she said to Polly, "Can you help me, please, can you help me?"
"It's useless, you better eat something."
Polly said in a daze, and was ready to turn around and leave.
Megan Goodman shouted, "Polly, you're called Polly, right? Help me, we two can escape together, I know people, I know very powerful people, they will protect us, really, they will protect us..."
Polly looked back at Megan Goodman.
Without saying anything, she left.
Next.
There was endless silence.
Megan Goodman initially wanted to refuse food, but her mind was still clear.
She knew she needed strength to escape.
So, she quickly stuffed the food at the bedside into her stomach, and after regaining some strength, she began fiddling with the iron chains on her ankles.
She tried countless times.
Even chafing her ankles raw, to no avail...
At this moment, she had no idea that Dirk Carter had already sensed something early in the morning.
A little after eight o'clock in the morning.
Dirk Carter entered the Municipal Committee Building as usual.
The guard at the building entrance first greeted him and then said with a wagging tail, "Secretary General Carter, a young lady came looking for you yesterday, you knew about this, right?"
"Young lady? What young lady?"
Dirk Carter paused and asked.
The guard scratched his head, recalled, and said, "Oh yes, it seemed her name was Megan... Megan Goodman, yes, Megan Goodman."
"Yesterday? Megan Goodman?"
Dirk Carter started and asked nervously, "Where is she?"
The guard said, "Since I didn't contact your office, I didn't let her in, and then... it seemed Mayor Giles took her away."
"Mayor Giles?"
Dirk Carter repeated under his breath.
Suddenly.
His entire nervous system tightened instantly.
Asked, "Astrid Giles?"
"Yes, yes, Mayor Giles. I was just idling around then, watching from outside the gate. I saw her get into Mayor Giles' car, and where they went I don't know."
Dirk Carter's mind exploded.
He immediately pulled out his cellphone to call Megan Goodman.
Unexpectedly, the phone was turned off.
Feeling a major problem brewing, he quickly rushed out, arrived at the Municipal Government Building.
With swift steps, he didn't even knock, directly pushing open Astrid Giles' office door.
At the time, Astrid Giles was listening to her female secretary's report, and Dirk Carter's sudden appearance startled both of them.
Especially Astrid Giles, with an annoyed face, she said, "Secretary General Carter, don't you have any basic manners at all, a Secretary General, and doesn't even know how to knock?"
"Mayor Giles, I need to see you for something."
Dirk Carter controlled his racing heart and said.
Astrid Giles glanced at her female secretary and said, "Polly, take care of what I asked you to do right away."
Secretary Polly nodded and said okay before turning to leave.
Astrid Giles stood up from behind the desk.
She motioned to Dirk Carter, "Sit down."
Dirk Carter stood motionless.
Asked directly, "Mayor Giles, the downstairs guard told me a female friend of mine got into your car and was taken away by you. I would like to ask, where is my friend now?"
Astrid Giles remained calm.
Pretended to think for a moment.
Said, "Oh, you're talking about Miss Goodman who went to the Municipal Committee Building yesterday?"
"Yes, yes, that's her, that's her."
Dirk Carter said urgently.
Astrid Giles casually said, "She said she was waiting for you, didn't catch you, then I happened to be going out, and she asked if I could take her to Kenwick Road, so I did."
"Kenwick Road? Why did she go to Kenwick Road?"
"I don't know, why? Is there a problem?"
Astrid Giles asked.
Dirk Carter pondered for a moment.
Looked again at Astrid Giles.
At this moment, she was sitting on the sofa, leisurely sipping water, looking calm and composed.
His mind turned to Polly Linden's death.
Dirk Carter took a deep breath and said, "Mayor Giles, the identity of this girl is not ordinary, if you know her whereabouts, please inform me, or it will become a big disaster."
"Mayor Carter, what do you mean by this? I helped your friend and you turn around and question me about your friend's whereabouts? Isn't that a bit uncool?"
Astrid Giles looked up, with an expression of disdain, said to Dirk Carter.
Dirk Carter swallowed hard, nervously said, "Mayor Giles, I'm not joking, this girl's identity is really very uncommon."
After finishing.
He gritted his teeth.
He said, "Mayor Giles, I promise you, I will stop investigating Polly Linden's case, as long as you can hand her over to me."
With a bang.
Astrid Giles slammed her palm on the coffee table.
Abruptly stood up.
Pointed at Dirk Carter's face and shouted angrily, "Secretary General Carter, don't be too excessive, you leave now, don't forget, among the Municipal Committee members, I rank higher than you, it's not your place to criticize me."
Since Astrid Giles didn't acknowledge it.
Dirk Carter had no way.
He didn't want to waste time on this woman.
Turning to leave, he suddenly paused, turned and said, "Mayor Giles, I understand if you want revenge on me, but please don't take it too far."
