Chapter 1209 - 1209

Both choices were not what Jasper Ross wanted.

But right now, what choice did he have?

He let out a long sigh and said dejectedly, "Mayor Carter, I will explain the issues to the district disciplinary committee myself."

In that case.

The problem was considered resolved.

Dirk Carter stood up, holding Chelsea Carter in his arms.

He looked around at everyone, and his eyes finally rested on Eberhard Ross.

He said, "I have never believed in the inherent goodness of people. Human nature is inherently selfish. Only with proper guidance can children grow up without going astray. You rely on a bit of power to teach your children to lie and bully others. Even when they grow up, they will be wastrels. To prevent this child from becoming something you don't want, I will keep an eye on Comrade Jasper Ross's career. As long as I am in Ronan City, don't expect a promotion..."

After leaving these words,

Dirk Carter said to Chelsea Carter, "Let's go, we're going home."

Surrounded by a group of people,

Dirk Carter walked out of the office door.

As soon as he reached the hallway, he heard a "smack" sound from behind.

Immediately after, Jasper Ross's voice erupted in anger, "Damn woman, you've ruined me. Are you satisfied now?"

"Can you blame me? Blame that Teacher Sutton. She's the one who talked nonsense... boo-hoo..."

Felicia Walsh retorted.

Is that really the case?

Of course not.

Teacher Sutton indeed started it.

But if she could discern right from wrong a bit better,

things wouldn't have come to this point.

This is what they call a man may thrive in heaven's will, but not in his own sins.

At noon,

Dirk Carter was at home having lunch with Chelsea Carter.

Meanwhile, at the entrance of Bella Grand Hotel in Ronan City,

Ellery Langdon was waiting anxiously.

At this time, a Passat car slowly drove over.

Ellery Langdon suddenly became alert.

He went forward to open the car door at the back seat.

A middle-aged man with a serious expression got out of the car.

It was none other than Ronan City's Executive Deputy Mayor, Brennan Ford.

"Good day, Deputy Mayor Ford, good day..."

Ellery Langdon kept bowing, looking quite complimentary.

Brennan Ford merely nodded slightly.

And walked inside.

Being led by Ellery Langdon, he opened the door to a luxurious private room.

Then quickly pulled out the main seat's chair for him.

After Brennan Ford sat down, he looked around at the exquisite dishes on the table and said solemnly, "Mr. Langdon, I won't eat; let's just get straight to the point, shall we..."

It was clear that he remained quite indifferent towards Ellery Langdon.

But this was also understandable.

Brennan Ford hadn't been in office for long, and he hadn't had any direct dealings with Ellery Langdon. Although they had met at a commerce federation meeting, they were not that familiar.

Ellery Langdon sat down beside Brennan Ford.

He said with grievance, "Deputy Mayor Ford, inviting you here today wasn't my idea. I'm just the middleman. Someone wants to meet you, so..."

"Ha, Mr. Langdon, that's quite unscrupulous of you, isn't it? Do you have no sense of decorum?"

Hearing that instantly angered Brennan Ford.

But he didn't immediately show it.

Though, his voice conveyed the rebuke.

Ellery Langdon looked apologetic and said, "I sincerely apologize, Deputy Mayor Ford. This person has long admired you, and I couldn't refuse. I had no choice but to take this measure, please forgive me. I will invite them in now. If Deputy Mayor Ford wants to meet, then meet. If not, I will apologize and guarantee to never disturb you again..."

Initially, Brennan Ford intended to get up and leave directly.

But this remark.

Instead piqued his interest.

He didn't express his stance.

But by remaining seated, he tacitly approved.

Ellery Langdon was quite observant.

He immediately got up and opened the door.

He said to the outside, "Miss Sabrina White, please come in."

As the door slowly opened,

Sabrina White, wearing a tight-fitting short skirt, walked in gracefully.

When passing by Ellery Langdon, he whispered in her ear, "Do as I told you before, serve him well. If he's even slightly dissatisfied, I'll definitely release that video of yours."

A fleeting look of fear crossed Sabrina White's face.

Then,

she forced a charming smile on her face.

And walked into the private room.

At first,

Brennan Ford had no reaction.

But when he heard the name Sabrina White,

he suddenly turned his head to look.

Before him indeed appeared the popular starlet, Sabrina White.

An expression of surprise showed instantly.

He never expected the person Ellery Langdon said "admired" him would be the hottest female celebrity of the moment.

"This... who is this..."

Brennan Ford's excitement was apparent.

Yet, he pretended not to recognize her.

Ellery Langdon quickly introduced, "Deputy Mayor Ford, let me introduce you; this is Miss Sabrina White."

Sabrina White extended her hand with a sweet smile and said, "Deputy Mayor Ford, I've heard so much about you. Meeting you today, you're indeed an impressive figure."

Brennan Ford was so captivated by Sabrina White's breathtaking face that he nearly lost himself.

With this greeting, he immediately snapped back to reality.

He swiftly grasped Sabrina White's hand, exclaiming, "Miss Sabrina White is indeed extraordinarily beautiful; you're a sight that commands affection. I was a bit rude earlier; truly, a fairy has descended, and one cannot bear to avert their gaze."

Sabrina White's cheeks blushed softly.

She softly said, "Deputy Mayor Ford praises me so much that I'm embarrassed... I'm hungry, can we sit down and eat?"

Brennan Ford heard her and immediately said, "Eat, let's eat now."

After the two sat down,

Ellery Langdon suddenly leaned over to Brennan Ford, saying, "Deputy Mayor Ford, I just received an urgent call from the company. There's some work I need to handle immediately. I'll let Miss Sabrina White accompany you for a bit. I'll come back after I'm done."

"Alright, alright, go ahead, take care of your business."

Brennan Ford, having abandoned his previous indifference,

nodded enthusiastically.

He appreciated Ellery Langdon's "understanding".

Then, Ellery Langdon lowered his head and said to Sabrina White, "Miss Sabrina White, I'll have to trouble you to properly accompany Deputy Mayor Ford for a few drinks."

Sabrina White nodded slightly.

She said, "Mr. Langdon, take your time with your work. As long as Deputy Mayor Ford doesn't find me bothersome, I'll surely keep him company."

"Miss Sabrina White, to have you accompany me, what an honor for me indeed, hahahaha..."

Brennan Ford immediately chimed in supportively.

Walking out of the private room, Ellery Langdon,

was in an excellent mood.

He knew that after today's banquet,

Brennan Ford was as good as secured.

Once Ellery Langdon left,

Brennan Ford couldn't hold back any longer.

He raised his wine glass, bringing it to Sabrina White, smiling, "Miss Sabrina White, I toast to you."

"Oh dear, I dare not accept a toast from Deputy Mayor Ford; I should be the one to toast you instead."

Sabrina White feigned nervousness and raised her wine glass.

Whether deliberate or accidental,

the glass tipped over with a thud.

The red wine instantly spilled onto her dress.

Seeing this, Brennan Ford,

immediately handed over a few napkins.

As Sabrina White lowered her head to wipe, Brennan Ford's eyes went straight.
