America 1919

Chapter 488

?Chapter 488: 185, Powerful Opponent Chapter 488: 185, Powerful Opponent In a seaside manor in Atlantic City, the lights were dazzling, and the servants inside, curious and somewhat shy, were looking up at one of the rooms on the second floor.

The room was dark, with the curtains drawn, but every servant knew that there was a woman inside, and this woman had a 50% chance of becoming the mistress of the manor.

As everyone walked, they tried their best to reduce any potential noise, because they knew that the mood of this 50% mistress was not good tonight.

It wasn’t until a blue Rolls-Royce drove into the estate that the servants finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The one hundred percent lord of the manor had returned!

After Donnie got out of the car, he looked up at Alice’s room and noticed a slight trembling of the curtains.

Helen, who had alighted the car with Donnie, also noticed this and said to Donnie with a smile, “I’m going to rest, the rest is up to you now!”

After bidding farewell to Helen with a kiss, Donnie entered the main building of the manor, which had a typical European style and used to be Leck Young’s residence in Atlantic City.

However, as Donnie took over all of Leck Young’s assets in Atlantic City, the manor became his.

Prior to this, after consulting Helen and Alice, Donnie had the manor thoroughly renovated, which had only allowed them to move in a week ago.

Walking down the corridor, Donnie arrived at Alice’s room.

The door was unlocked, so Donnie pushed it open and entered the pitch-black room.

After adjusting to the darkness, he saw Alice sitting on the carpet by the window, hugging her knees, looking very distraught.

Even after seeing Donnie, her emotions didn’t change!

Donnie walked over and sat beside Alice, then said, “I actually had a big surprise prepared for you, but seeing you like this, I think you might not be in the mood to see my surprise now!”

Alice didn’t say a word!

Donnie continued, “Tonight’s party was to entertain those businessmen.

Helen will take over WRPA in the future, and WRPA’s and Surf Hotel’s finances will become our most important cash pools.”

Alice didn’t say a word!

Donnie went on, “Tomorrow night at the Ritz Hotel, we’ll be hosting stars from Hollywood, directors, and some movie studio managers.

Miss America’s most important development channel in the future is Hollywood, and I’ve heard that they’ve now developed talkies.

I am convinced that this will be the future of the film industry, and with the economy of the United States improving and people’s lives getting better, there will be more pursuit of cultural life, so the film industry will become an important economic sector in America’s future.”

Whether it’s involving Miss America or investing in United Artists, it’s actually in preparation for this, and as you know, I can’t trust such an important industry to anyone else.

If you don’t help me, I don’t know who else to turn to!”

Alice finally spoke, “Let Helen help you then, you like her anyway!”

Donnie laughed lightly, the consummate playboy, and said, “But I like you too!”

“Hmph, I didn’t notice!” Alice replied with feigned arrogance.

Donnie said, “You should have noticed, otherwise I wouldn’t have given up so much to come back to you immediately after that boring ball ended, and I even prepared a big surprise for you!”

Unable to resist, Alice asked Donnie, “What’s the surprise?”

Donnie replied, “Come outside with me and you’ll see!”

Alice asked with surprise, “Go out at this hour?”

Donnie challenged, “Are you afraid?”

“Who’s afraid!” Alice stood up from the wool carpet and said, “Get my coat!”

Donnie stood and fetched a coat for Alice from the rack.

The two left the manor by car and headed for the beach.

At this time, the Atlantic City beach was deserted, with only the sparkling sea under the bright moonlight, stars falling into the water, and occasional seagulls flying past.

“Aren’t there usually black people around here at this hour?”

Alice asked Donnie curiously.

During the day, black people had no right to set foot on this beach.

Only at night did they dare to come here and enjoy the privileges of white people.

Donnie said, “Tonight, this place belongs to you, no one else will come here to disturb the atmosphere!”

The smile on Alice’s face was fleeting, and then with her hands clasped behind her back, she happily walked along the beach, her voice drifting from afar, “Don’t think this will make me forgive you!”

Donnie hastened his steps and after catching up with Alice, he took her hand and said with a smile, “Of course, that’s not enough.

A beach all to yourself is nothing, what I want is for the whole beach to show a splendor it has never shown before for you!”

Alice stopped, turned her head to look up at Donnie, and asked, “What do you mean?”

Donnie placed his hands on Alice’s shoulders, directing her to face the sea, then smilingly said, “Close your eyes, tonight Atlantic City will dance for you!”

Alice grew even more curious but still closed her eyes, then stealthily opened a slit.

Immediately, Donnie’s large hand fell over Alice’s eyes, blocking her entire field of vision.

“Stop it!”

Alice stepped back slightly, allowing herself to lean against Donnie and feel his warmth.
