A Bumpy Road to Power
Chapter 1095 - 1095
But how did such good friends end up like this today?
It's simple!
Because of a man.
This man's name is Lucas Sutton, and he is not only from the same hometown as Dulce Lewis but also her senior.
During their junior year.
Dulce Lewis started dating him.
In her eyes, Lucas Sutton was honest and reliable, an ideal choice for her future.
After graduation.
Lucas Sutton returned to Mountridge County and started a small business, which flourished within just a year.
After Dulce Lewis graduated, she developed an interest in becoming a civil servant.
A year later, she became a member of the police force and was assigned to the Mountridge County Traffic Police Brigade.
During her training.
She met Lucy Carter.
At first, the two were inseparable, and to outsiders, their relationship seemed strong.
After joining the squad.
They were assigned to work together again.
This was a stroke of great fate.
So, they rented the same apartment and lived together, leading to a celebrated friendship.
Sadly, the good times didn't last long.
One day, after starting her shift, Dulce Lewis noticed Lucy Carter was absent, and upon asking the captain, learned that Lucy was on leave due to a sudden cold.
Worried about her friend's health.
Dulce Lewis bought some medicine to take to her.
But when she opened the door, she saw Lucy Carter naked, riding on her boyfriend Lucas Sutton.
Upon her pressing.
Her boyfriend Lucas Sutton admitted that Lucy Carter had seduced him, and they had already been involved several times without Dulce Lewis knowing.
An angry Dulce Lewis didn't take any action, but immediately moved out of the apartment and severed ties with Lucas Sutton.
Lucy Carter originally planned to take over.
Unexpectedly, after Dulce Lewis left, Lucas Sutton realized his mistake.
He immediately abandoned her and pursued Dulce Lewis again.
This left Lucy Carter furious.
Their relationship quickly deteriorated.
It became a public secret among the women's squad.
Their open and covert struggles need no mention.
Seeing Dulce Lewis suspended now, Lucy Carter felt she had to mock her to celebrate the good news.
Seeing her smug face.
Dulce Lewis didn't want to pay her any attention.
Just as she was going to walk straight to the door.
Lucy Carter loudly said, "By the way, Officer Lewis, forgot to tell you, yesterday Lucas also heard about your situation, he has agreed to be with me, a double whammy on love and career, huh! People, they really are unpredictable."
At that moment, all the accumulated grievances finally overwhelmed her.
Two lines of tears flowed down.
Dulce Lewis wiped her tears, scanning the disdainful looks from the crowd.
It was overwhelmingly cold.
"Dulce, is everything okay yet? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
Suddenly, from behind Dulce Lewis, a man's gentle voice sounded.
This voice also drew the attention of everyone in the women's squad office.
Including Lucy Carter.
At the door.
A refined gentleman, wearing a simple jacket and sports pants, a mismatched ensemble that looked quite awkward.
Despite that.
The man's resolved face, stout stature, and height over six feet remained noteworthy.
"Wow, handsome guy…"
Someone whispered in surprise.
At the same time, Dulce Lewis was quite shocked.
Because the person standing at the door was none other than Secretary General Dirk Carter of Silverwood City's Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection.
"Dirk…"
She was about to call out.
Dirk Carter quickly took a few steps.
Directly walking up to her, he took out a tissue, personally wiping her tears, and said, "Why? Are you still reluctant to leave here?"
"Oh dear, who's this? Dulce, after leaving Lucas your taste has dropped, you go for this low man now?"
Lucy Carter knew full well that this man had better demeanor than Lucas Sutton.
But she could not afford to lose in terms of imposing presence.
Hence, she could only attack his attire.
"Lucy Carter, don't speak nonsense!"
Dulce Lewis warned as she wiped her tears.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, me speaking nonsense? Look at what he's wearing, a jacket with sports pants, from that alone you can tell his class isn't high, Dulce, even if you're desperate, shouldn't you be more discerning when picking men?"
Lucy Carter continued with a sarcastic tone.
Dulce Lewis was about to say something.
But Dirk Carter gently nudged her.
Stepped forward and said, "Officer, what kind of man is not low then?"
"Definitely not your type, obviously unpresentable."
Lucy Carter said, glaring at him.
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
Turned and said to Dulce Lewis, "You really hit the nail, I do lack the aura of leadership."
Hearing this again.
Dulce Lewis couldn't help but giggle.
Lucy Carter, clueless, disdainfully said, "Leadership? What kind of leader are you? Restroom leader, huhahaha…"
While she laughed uncontrollably.
A series of footsteps suddenly echoed in the corridor.
As the footsteps came closer.
The vice county magistrate, police chief Antero Fletcher of Mountridge County came hurrying in, panting.
Seeing the big leader arrive.
Everyone initially watching the drama promptly stood up nervously.
Antero Fletcher ignored them completely.
Walked straight to Dirk Carter and saluted with standard form, loudly saying, "Antero Fletcher reporting to Secretary General Carter!"
This action.
Left everyone utterly dumbfounded.
Especially Lucy Carter, whose eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
"Comrade Fletcher, I called you here today to discuss something."
Dirk Carter said.
Antero Fletcher hurriedly nodded and said, "Secretary General Carter, please instruct."
Dirk Carter's hand tapped Dulce Lewis's shoulder, and he said, "During the investigation of Astrid Giles's case, I noticed Dulce Lewis diligently fulfilling her duties, she is a good candidate. Today I've come to represent the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to request personnel from you, Comrade Fletcher, will you let her go?"
Antero Fletcher was momentarily stunned.
Considering the Astrid Giles case had implicated many people within Mountridge County.
Even the last few days robbed him of peaceful sleep.
Dirk Carter asking personnel from him was a colossal favor, right?
Quickly nodded saying, "Secretary General Carter, Dulce Lewis has always been a key young person in training at our traffic police brigade, to receive favor from Dirk Carter, it's a great honor for all officers of Mountridge County Police Department, there's no question of not letting her go!"
"Alright then, regarding personnel affairs, I'll arrange for the Municipal Commission for Discipline Inspection to reach out to you. I'll take her along now."
After saying this.
Dirk Carter was about to turn and leave.
Suddenly remembered something, went up to Lucy Carter.
By this time, Lucy Carter realized who Dirk Carter was based on Antero Fletcher's address.
Recalling her previous disrespect.
She was already trembling like a sieve.
