“In fact, I realized a long time ago that it was impossible between me and Harding, Florence’s backers from the Cleveland syndicate would never allow such a thing to happen!”

After sighing, South Brenton suddenly laughed, “However, I find that I don’t really care about that outcome because I really enjoy my life as it is now.

Whether Harding is in it or not doesn’t matter!”

Donnie, after hearing this, laughed heartily and said, “Of course, if you want, you could even cut off all contact with Harding.”

“Actually, I’ve been contemplating that, but…” South Brenton waved his hand, showing some impatience, and said, “Let’s drop that subject.

Let’s talk about the WRPA instead!”

Donnie grinned, “Are you referring to the new people who joined WRPA recently?”

Only then did South Brenton speak somewhat flatly, “I forgot that your close friend Helen is now working at WRPA.

You must have learned about the WRPA matters in the shortest possible time!”

Since most of the Surf Hotel’s interests had been invested in the WRPA charity organization, it was natural that the shareholders of the Surf Hotel would pay more attention to WRPA and naturally start positioning their own people within WRPA.

It could be said that even before the internal struggles at the Surf Hotel had begun, the competition within WRPA was already underway.

But Donnie was not worried about this matter.

He believed in Helen’s capabilities, those who were placed there by others stood no chance against her.

“They won’t do much now, at most some courting of favor and monitoring of the direction of WRPA’s account funds.

You don’t need to worry about them, just focus on being the chairman.”

Donnie began to make his moves, and South Brenton’s body started to heat up…

.

After leaving the Surf Hotel, Helen came to the Surf Hotel to talk about the WRPA matters.

To outsiders, the Surf Hotel might seem to be the center of wealth this time, but in reality, WRPA was the actual wealth center.

As for the arrangements concerning this matter, Donnie’s response to Helen was not much different from that to South Brenton, but Donnie did bring up another matter with Helen.

“Breton will have to step down from this position sooner or later.

In the future, I hope you can take over the WRPA and become the chairman of this charity organization!”

Taking over the WRPA essentially meant controlling all the wealth of the Surf Hotel.

Previously, the position wasn’t as significant, so Donnie could confidently let South Brenton sit in the chairman’s seat.

But now that the Surf Hotel was opened, Donnie couldn’t let South Brenton sit in that position forever.

However, Helen waved her hand and said, “At least for the next few years, it’s not suitable for me to sit as the chairman of the WRPA.

Everyone knows about our relationship; if I were to take the position, it would surely be opposed by others at the Surf Hotel.

It’s better to continue developing gradually and just naturally take over the position of WRPA chairman in due course.”

“This way, at least I can reduce some pressure for you.”

“As for the internal affairs of the WRPA, you don’t need to worry.

With me here, no one can stir up trouble!”

Toward the end, Helen exuded a kind of assertiveness.

Seeing this, Donnie had no objections, “Alright, with you here, I have no worries!”

Helen asked, “How have you arranged the evening’s gala tonight?”

“`

After speaking, there was a look of anticipation in Helen’s eyes.

Of course, what Helen anticipated was not the party itself, for as the princess of the Taft Family, she had practically grown up amidst various soirées.

What truly filled Helen with anticipation was who Donnie would take to tonight’s party!

As previously mentioned, everyone knew about the entanglement between Donnie, Helen, and Alice; at such an event, the person Donnie appeared with would essentially declare a status to everyone!

Donnie laughed heartily and said, “I’ve already had Steve Coting fetch your evening gown!”

Helen showed a happy expression, but then said, “Aren’t you worried that Alice might stir up some trouble?”

Donnie spread his hands and said helplessly with a laugh, “That’s why, after the party ends, I have to accompany Alice.

Besides, I will be taking Alice to tomorrow night’s party!”

Although Donnie hadn’t broken the final barrier with either Helen or Alice, in their last three-way conversation, it was clear to everyone that no matter whom Donnie ended up with legally, the three of them were inseparable.

Now that Donnie could make his first official appearance with her, it was actually the greatest respect he could show her.

Hence, Helen had no objections to Donnie’s arrangements!

“Who will be at tonight’s party?” Helen asked.

Donnie replied, “They are some of our business collaborators.

The politicians have a larger workload and need to consider their image, so the soirée with them is set for the day after tomorrow.

Tomorrow’s party is with the Hollywood stars!”

Even though the Hollywood stars couldn’t compare with Donnie’s business collaborators, these celebrities were living billboards; showing them due respect and hospitality was, in fact, an easy way to attract more middle-class tourists to Atlantic City.

Helen considered briefly and said, “There’s no problem with this arrangement.

It seems Nate is indeed capable.”

Donnie smiled and said, “If he weren’t capable, I wouldn’t have put him in the position of general manager at the Surf Hotel!”

Helen stood up with a smile and said, “If that’s the case, I’ll head home to get ready.

You can just have Steve send over my evening gown, and then you can come pick me up!”

Donnie nodded and said, “No problem.

Oh, and Robert Taft will arrive in Atlantic City the day after tomorrow.

You and I will go to the station to welcome him together!”

Helen asked with a smile, “This time you’re not worried about them meeting?”

Donnie knew Helen was referring to the encounter between Robert Taft and young Theodore Roosevelt, and said with a laugh, “We have to face it eventually, and by this time, I can’t let you continue to bear the pressure of this situation any longer!”

Helen leaned over and kissed Donnie on the cheek, saying, “It won’t be an easy thing, but I believe you can handle it!”

Donnie laughed heartily and said, “Let’s hope so!”

Once Helen had left, Donnie rested for a couple of hours.

When it was about time, he got dressed in his evening attire, had Steve Coting prepare the car, went to pick up Helen from her house first, and then proceeded to the Ritz Hotel to commence the first party before the opening of the Surf Hotel!
