Chapter 1077 - 1077

"I won't leave, I'll stay right here..."

"No, I want you to sleep with me. Only when I'm holding you can I fall asleep."

After saying this, Megan Goodman laid her head on Dirk Carter's thigh.

Truth be told, Dirk Carter didn't dare have any improper thoughts about Megan Goodman, especially since Bohdan Sherwood stood behind her.

But seeing her so pitiful.

He couldn't help but soften a little.

He sighed and said, "Alright, I'll stay with you."

Of course.

He didn't dare take off his clothes or pants.

He just got under the quilt like that.

Initially worried about affecting any scars on Megan Goodman's body, he deliberately kept some distance, but unexpectedly, Megan Goodman snuggled right up to him, holding him tightly.

Indeed, Dirk Carter's presence provided her with a sense of security.

Just a few minutes later, Megan Goodman fell asleep...

The next morning as daylight broke.

Dirk Carter came out from the hospital room.

Only to see a little girl curled up asleep, clutching her own legs, in a corner by the door.

Just as he was about to approach.

His footsteps woke her up.

She rubbed her sleepy eyes, stood up, and patted her bottom, asking, "Awake?"

Dirk Carter asked, "Did you doze off like this all night?"

The little girl smiled slightly and said, "It's fine, I'm used to it. How is she?"

"Still sleeping, shouldn't wake up for a while. Would you like to take a nap on the bed?"

"No problem, I'll just stay by the door."

The little girl said.

Dirk Carter laughed and said, "Then I won't pay you extra."

"It's okay, I don't want the remaining money."

The little girl said.

Dirk Carter was taken aback and asked, "Don't want it?"

"Yes, don't want it."

"That's not like you at all."

"What style? I'm just... forget it, no need to explain, anyway, I don't want it..."

The little girl waved her hand as she spoke.

At that moment, Dirk Carter suddenly felt that the little girl before him seemed much taller, and he could guess that the reason she didn't want the money was out of compassion, after all, Megan Goodman had gone through a literal hell these past five days.

Having her help to care.

Dirk Carter was also reassured.

He had to quickly freshen up and head to the Municipal Committee Compound.

Today marks the beginning of many things to do, and it was time to put an end to this matter.

At nine in the morning.

In Athena Meyer's office.

She had been temporarily suspended today, and the reason she returned to the office was to pick up some things.

But when she opened the door, she found the office had changed dramatically.

Her personal belongings were carelessly thrown on the floor, and even the photo of her parents that was always on the desk was trampled on, its glass shattered.

The whole room was in disarray.

Just as Athena Meyer was about to call Sidney Lewis from the Disciplinary Committee office to ask what had happened, Jasmine Summers' voice came through.

"Move this sofa out, and also, get rid of those paintings on the wall. The walls need repainting. In short, everything visible must be replaced."

Behind her.

Jasmine Summers was directing the assistant office director, pointing around her office.

The assistant office director took notes diligently.

At this moment, Jasmine Summers also noticed Athena Meyer standing in the room.

"Oh, who do we have here? Isn't this the suspended Director Meyer?"

Jasmine Summers spoke in her usual sarcastic tone.

Athena Meyer felt a flash of anger.

With a flushed face, she asked, "Jasmine Summers, what do you mean by this? This is my office, what's going on?"

"Your office? You've been suspended, where did you get an office from? From now on, this will be my office. My previous one was dim and damp. After looking around, this place has nice lighting, so now it's mine."

Jasmine Summers said smugly.

Athena Meyer held back her anger.

Pointing to the scattered items on the ground.

She questioned, "Why did you throw away my things?"

"Oh, are these your things? I thought they were garbage, sorry, sorry, Director Meyer, let me help you pick them up..."

With words of picking them up.

She stomped again on the only photo of her parents.

With a cracking sound, it shattered further.

Jasmine Summers exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh dear, clumsy me again. Here, Director Meyer, your photo back."

When Jasmine Summers picked up the photo, her parents' faces had been soiled and ruined.

Athena Meyer glared at Jasmine Summers.

Jasmine Summers, seeing this, exclaimed, "Director Meyer, you wouldn't hit me, would you? You can't do that, you know. The one who hit someone last time is probably in detention now."

What she mentioned last time undoubtedly referred to Dirk Carter.

"Jasmine Summers, don't go too far!"

Athena Meyer said through gritted teeth.

Hearing this.

Jasmine Summers sneered.

Pointing at her nose, she said, "What? Are you feeling upset? You deserve it, who else can you blame? Athena Meyer, I'm not afraid to tell you, with me, Jasmine Summers, in the Disciplinary Committee, you'll never rise again. Mark my words, not even if Dirk Carter's involved, even if God himself came, you'd still only be fit to lick the soles of my shoes."

After saying this.

Jasmine Summers burst into laughter.

Her laughter wasn't for Athena Meyer, but genuinely came from her delight.

Just as her laughter hadn't ended.

Sidney Lewis from the Disciplinary Committee office rushed over, seeing both Athena Meyer and Jasmine Summers in the office, he quickly said, "Director Meyer, Director Summers, Secretary General Carter has called you both to a meeting room."

"Secretary General Carter, which Secretary General Carter?"

Jasmine Summers stopped laughing, and with a bit of doubt, asked.

Sidney Lewis said, "Dirk Carter, Secretary General Carter, who else could it be?"

"He... wasn't he arrested?"

Jasmine Summers asked in surprise.

Sidney Lewis said, "Director Summers, you didn't know? Secretary General Carter was reinstated last night..."

He repeated the formation of the Supreme Disciplinary Committee inspection team.

Especially when she heard that Dirk Carter was appointed as the deputy leader of the inspection team, Jasmine Summers was stunned.

"Director Summers... Director Summers... what's wrong with you?"

Seeing her unusual behavior.

Sidney Lewis called out a few times in confusion.

Jasmine Summers then came back to her senses.

Her previous good mood was completely gone.

Waving her hand, she said, "No... nothing, let's go to the meeting..."

In the meeting room.

Jasmine Summers was the last to enter, aside from Dirk Carter.

Today's meeting room was absolutely silent.

Everyone's expressions were inscrutable.

Sidney Lewis, naturally, was the one with the ugliest expression.

Having flaunted all evening, he never expected Dirk Carter to return.

Not only did he return, but it was as a king.

He glanced bitterly at Athena Meyer, with a mix of pleading and fear in his eyes.

Why did Sidney Lewis glance at Athena Meyer?

That incident began after last night's meeting...
