America 1919

Both of them left the tavern, Dwight intended to drive, but Donnie took the keys from him.

Now, Donnie's ride had already been upgraded to a double-doored Rolls-Royce after acquiring Ponzi's assets.

After opening the car door for Breton, Donnie then seated himself in the driver's position.

"Donnie, are you this much of a gentleman to every lady?"

Breton asked with a smile from inside the car.

Donnie shook his head: "Not really, but I am definitely very gentlemanly towards beautiful ladies!"

"It's a pity not all men are gentlemen like you, Donnie!" Breton said with a hint of regret in her eyes.

Donnie knew she was talking about Harding and laughed: "That just goes to show some men respect women in words but not in their bones."

Breton felt somewhat disheartened, but thinking about the significant deed she had never done but had always wanted to do, she forced a smile and said, "So, does that make you a true gentleman, Donnie?"

Donnie laughed: "Wasn't my behavior just now gentlemanly enough?"

Breton, a bit exasperated, said: "Some men's chivalry has an ulterior motive!"

As a beautiful woman, especially one who was Harding's mistress, Breton naturally never lacked suitors.

When pursuers court a woman, they always act very gentlemanly—Breton had seen many such men!

"Then have they done something like this?"

With a screech, Donnie suddenly stopped the car, and the abrupt inertia made Breton lunge forward. At that moment, Donnie stretched out his hand to block her! Chapter Your:

After a brief moment of panic, Breton exclaimed: "What are you doing?"

Donnie, looking pleased with himself, said: "Just wanted to do something not so gentlemanly."

After he finished speaking, while Breton's eyes widened, Donnie quickly leaned over. His hand, which had just stopped her from lurching forward, now cradled the back of her head, and with a firm pull, Breton found herself kissing Donnie.

Clearly, Donnie's move had startled Breton; first, she stared at him wide-eyed, then after realizing what was happening, she pushed him away fiercely.

"What are you doing?" screamed Breton.

Donnie gave a smug smile and said: "Didn't I just say it? Doing something not so gentlemanly."

"Do you know who I am? Do you know the consequences of your actions?" Breton couldn't believe that Donnie dared to make such a bold move.

"I know, but so what?"

Donnie repeated the maneuver, and Breton's resistance was once again futile.

"You're done for, Donnie Block, you're done for! Do you realize what you've done?"

Breton leaned against the car door, with both anger and disbelief on her face.

But Donnie didn't care at all and said: "No, it's you who doesn't understand the situation. Don't forget who you are. You're just one of Harding's mistresses, not his wife. Now if you want to replace Florence, you can't allow anything that would displease Harding to happen.

Think about it, what would happen if Harding knew about what just happened?"

My end may not be good, but I can assure you, yours will definitely be worse. Florence will learn of this and use it as a reason to completely shatter your dreams, and you, without my help, do you really think that with your abilities alone, you can sustain an organization for women's rights?

Think about it.

If you want to obtain the position you desire, then our dealings must not be known to anyone else, and I will also actively help establish the women's rights organization.

Only then, might you have a chance to achieve the status you want."

A candid conversation cleared away Breton's initial horror and disbelief to be replaced with a suspicious look at Donnie, "Can you really help me achieve the position I want?"

Donnie said, "With my help, there's still hope, but without it, you have no chance at all. I presume you've also spoken with Nucky since arriving in Atlantic City, has he rejected any of your proposals?"

Breton fell silent, and Donnie's smile grew even brighter.

"I reckon Elena must be quite busy at this time, so how about we visit her later?"

Seeing Donnie's smile and reflecting on his recent behavior, Breton finally let go of all negative emotions, smiling slightly.

"Since this is Atlantic City, of course I shall follow your arrangements, Donnie!"Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The car that was supposed to head to the WCTU headquarters suddenly turned, heading straight for Third District in the eastern part of Atlantic City.

There lay a property that John had acquired previously... The original owner had been unable to sustain his gambling debts.

Time had reached the afternoon!

Donnie and Breton finally arrived at the WCTU headquarters to meet with Elena!

Although Donnie didn't explicitly reveal Breton's identity, when he explained his reason for bringing Breton along, Elena was very happy.

"We've been wanting to change the WCTU's purpose, but unfortunately, internal resistance is too strong. If you, Miss Breton, can succeed, that would be a very happy thing!"

Breton also spoke with a smile, "Donnie said Mrs. Dorne, you are a very capable person, and I should learn a lot from you. I hope you can help me well in the future!"

Elena's smile vanished upon hearing Breton's last statement.

When she looked at Donnie, she found him absorbed in the books on the shelf in his office... Hmm, the book was upside down!

Elena was not Breton; she was a very intelligent woman. Upon observing Donnie's behavior, she realized that this foolish woman must be someone significant.

Elena also understood how she should interact with the other party. She did indeed want to genuinely assist Breton in building up the organization at first.

But now...

"Donnie, Mrs. Dorne is really amazing. The suggestions she offered are very useful. I think I should spend more time with her!"

After leaving Elena's office, an excited Breton said to Donnie.

Donnie smiled and said, "That's best if it's helpful. During this time, I will be looking for an office location for your organization in Atlantic City. After all, it's easier to work with an office!"

Breton nodded with a smile, "Exactly, that's the way. We need to find an office location, and also recruit staff. Do you think it would be possible for Harding to send some people over to me?"

As if he could send you people... Donnie smiled and said, "I think that's possible!"
