"You really haven't been bribed by Dirk Carter?"
Jabez Shaw asked incredulously.
Dallon Lewis nodded and raised two fingers, saying, "I swear, if I've been bribed by Dirk Carter, then let me get hit by a car when I step out."
Such words in officialdom are untrustworthy.
But Jabez Shaw knew that after today's standing committee meeting, only Dallon Lewis followed him in.
Those who once drank and dined with him now avoided him like the plague.
"Investigate! Find out exactly what's happening. I want to know what Dirk Carter is up to!"
Jabez Shaw shouted angrily.
Dallon Lewis paused and said, "County Mayor Shaw, the situation's wrong now. Should we report to President Summers and have him step in to control the situation?"
"At this point, I've lost ground in the County Committee, and if we don't do something, the situation might spiral out of control. It seems the time has come to lay our cards on the table with everyone."
These words.
