America 1919

Harding was a romantic man, and romantic men always make one mistake: they care deeply about their women.

So when Harding felt that he had misunderstood South Brenton, he immediately softened his tone, "Dear, you've misunderstood me. I, of course, want to go to Atlantic City, but I must also take into account the advice of my campaign team. You know that this moment is crucial for me; I absolutely cannot afford any problems!"

South Brenton didn't care for Harding's explanation and emphasized again, "So, does that mean you are not coming?"

Facing South Brenton's question, Harding seemed somewhat flustered, "About this matter, dear, I cannot hide it from you. If Donnie really cannot handle the incident of someone dying at Block Tavern, then it is indeed not suitable for me to appear in Atlantic City anymore!"

South Brenton asked, "But you seemed so happy talking with Donnie initially. Why abandon him at this time?"

Harding gave a bitter smile, "I admit Donnie is a very good friend, but the impact of this incident is too great. I cannot sacrifice my opportunities just because I got along well with Donnie. Dear, these things are only temporary. Once I become President, you will be able to come to Washington."

By then, I'll arrange a place for you in the White House, and we can be together long-term!"

South Brenton replied with a cold laugh, "And then endlessly hide from your wife, is that it?"

Harding immediately responded, "Dear, don't worry, it won't be for too long. Once I get settled, I will bring up the divorce with Florence!"

If it had been before, South Brenton would have certainly believed Harding's words, but now?

South Brenton did not believe it anymore because she had also realized something. Harding could not possibly be the President of the United States for just one term. As long as Harding wanted to pursue re-election, then he could not do without the support of the Cleveland financial consortium behind Florence.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Such profound thoughts, of course, were not originated by South Brenton herself.

"Okay, but there's something you might not know yet. Donnie has already come up with a response plan for this situation. If nothing goes wrong, it will be broadcast on Atlantic City Broadcast tomorrow morning!"

South Brenton's tone lightened.

Hearing South Brenton's words, Harding immediately became serious, and it also made him forget to ask how South Brenton knew about Donnie's plan.

"Dear, what is Donnie's plan?" Stay updated with empire

Deep down, Harding didn't want the newly established cooperation with Donnie to fracture. So if Donnie could smoothly get through this crisis, Harding would be very willing to continue his cooperation with Donnie!

"Wait until tomorrow, tomorrow morning you will know!" South Brenton did not satisfy Harding's demand, "This is your punishment for not having me in your heart!"

After saying this, South Brenton hung up the phone, leaving Harding holding the phone with a wry smile, but at the same time, he called people like Harry D'Agostino to come to his office immediately. He needed to analyze the situation, in case Donnie really resolved the issue, to decide how they should respond.

At this moment, everyone was anticipating what would happen tomorrow morning!
