America 1919

At this point, Helen paused and said, "I heard there is a police officer named Sean Be in the public security department, who represents Eli in the West District. If I were Donnie, I would definitely make this person one of my own."

"So Sean Be must be one of your people, right? Apart from Eli Johnson's men, there are also Sean Be's men. Nobody from the public security department, especially Nevin Byrd's attorneys, can meet with Luther Ganaxy."

Robert listened blankly to Helen's analysis, then looked towards Donnie.

Donnie nodded, signaling him to follow Helen's instructions.

After Robert left, Donnie, still curious, asked Helen, "I'm not really surprised by your performance; what surprises me is, why are you suddenly behaving like this now?

"Could it be because of what happened before, that you've fallen for me?"

Sitting beside Donnie, Helen lost her earlier composure, especially when Donnie asked if she had fallen for him, her face grew even redder. Enjoy new stories from empire

Nevertheless, after a brief moment of panic, Helen still said, "I won't deny what you mean!"

"Hey hey hey, what do you mean you won't deny it?" Alice said loudly, "Before you were always saying that you can't fall for Donnie!"

When facing Alice, Helen's demeanor changed as if in a Sichuan Opera face-changing act, and she spoke calmly, devoid of the tension she had while speaking with Donnie.

"The past is the past, and now is now. Besides, even if I have fallen for Donnie, it doesn't mean I'm going to do something with him. At least not now, because I know that if I were to do something with Donnie now, apart from physical pleasure, he wouldn't gain any benefit!"

Alice looked at Helen in amazement and said, "How can you be so schizophrenic!"

Helen replied, "Not just me, you too. So today will be the last time we both visit Donnie. Tomorrow we need to do our own things: I'm heading to Washington to meet up with the South Brenton team, and you're off to New York to take care of the Miss America matters!"

"I don't want to!" Alice exclaimed as she sat down on the bed, "Donnie hasn't fully recovered yet. I don't want to leave him. Besides, who knows if you'll sneak back in after I leave!"

Helen shook her head, "I won't come back, at least not until my speech in Washington is over. I realize that is the best choice for Donnie.

"And the same goes for you!"

Donnie, feeling somewhat weak, said, "I am just concerned about one thing!"

Helen and Alice simultaneously turned to look at Donnie, one on each side.

"Have both of you fallen for me? And do you both want to be with me?"

Donnie asked.

"That's two questions!" Helen said, "We do indeed like you, but don't get too happy. It's not possible for both of us to be with you. If you can grow quickly enough to intimidate our families, then among the two of us, you could choose one to be your wife!"

"Yeah!" Alice chimed in, "You aren't thinking of being with both of us, are you?"

"Actually, that wouldn't be too bad!" Donnie said, nonchalantly.

"Don't even think about it! It's impossible!" Helen said coolly, "I don't care about your flings, nor does my family, because those women pose no threat to us. But the two of us together with you -- that's just not happening!

"Do you really think a daughter from the Taft or the Roosevelt family could become your mistress?"

For Donnie, just legally securing one of them was a challenge, let alone trying to get one and hide the other!

Donnie chuckled wryly, then asked Helen out of curiosity, "By the way, what did you say to Margaret last night? She didn't tell me when I asked her later!"

Helen replied, "Simple, I just laid out your future to her. She can always stay by your side, but she can't stand by you in public legally. I just gave her a choice, and clearly, she chose to stay by your side unnoticed!

Donnie clicked his tongue and said, "You really are cold!"

Alice looked discontentedly at Donnie and said, "And what do you want then?"

Donnie replied, "I was talking about Helen, not you. What's bothering you?"

"So what if I'm bothered by it?" Alice glared fiercely at Donnie and then said, "When the time comes, you can only choose me, or I'll secretly castrate you!"

As she spoke, Alice menacingly eyed Donnie's lower body!

Donnie: "...."

Nevin Byrd was successfully bailed out, but this brought no joy to Nevin, who instead felt overwhelmed with a sense of defeat.

He had thought he had everything under control, but now, it appeared he was only in control on the surface!

When he learned from his attorney that Luther Ganaxy had agreed to turn state's witness, he knew he was finished.

Today, Donnie's close associate, Brad Dorn, officially became the Chief Justice of Atlantic City.

Therefore, after leaving the public security department, Nevin Byrd did not go home but went straight to the hospital.
