America 1919-Chapter 889 - 304, Harding passed away

Harding has actually passed away!

Upon hearing this news, Donnie’s feelings were quite complicated.

During the years Harding served as the President of the United States, Donnie’s development was very smooth; he established the Bootlegging Empire, acquired the Sinclair Oil Corporation, and ABC also flourished.

It seems that these matters had no direct connection to Harding, but in fact, without Harding, the Bootlegging Empire’s business could not have grown so vast, the acquisition of Sinclair Oil Corporation by Pandora Oil would have encountered various opposing voices, especially the development of ABC.

As the largest and even monopolistic ABC, it has always been under attack by Democrats, accusing ABC of dominating and monopolizing the national commercial broadcasting development, with many people proposing to break up ABC.

But all these issues were resolved by Harding.

So, for these matters, Donnie was very grateful to Harding.

However, the death of Harding also proved one thing, that although the world has changed a lot because of his arrival, it hasn’t changed much in certain specific historical events.

This made Donnie even more confident about his planning for the future!

"Looks like you have to take a trip to Washington!"

Theodore Roosevelt also knew that this matter had a huge impact; although the President had passed away, the United States couldn’t be without a President.

"Coolidge really picked up a huge bargain this time!"

Theodore Roosevelt said with some envy.

Donnie responded noncommittally: "I will have someone purchase a ticket to Washington for tomorrow..."

Before finishing his sentence, a servant came over and said to Donnie, "Sir, Mr. Coolidge has called for you, please go and take the call!"

"Alright!"

Donnie got up and walked to the living room, while Theodore Roosevelt watched him with shock and envy.

As the first Vice President, Coolidge was going to succeed as the President of the United States. At this moment, Coolidge must be particularly busy, needing to meet with many people, but even so, Coolidge phoned Donnie at the first opportunity.

This could only mean that their relationship was extraordinary.

"I already know about Harding’s affairs, I will head to Washington tomorrow!"

Donnie said directly after picking up the phone.

Excitement came through the phone from Coolidge, "Good, Donnie, if you could be in Washington at this time, I would feel much more assured!"

Donnie chuckled, "That’s a right granted to you by the Federation Constitution, nobody can take it away, but John, at this time, you still need to show some grief!"

Coolidge very much wanted to tell Donnie that he also understood what Donnie meant, but he just couldn’t help himself!

Isn’t this like a pie falling from the sky?

"I know, I’ll wait for you in Washington!"

"Alright!"

Donnie hung up the call, knowing there was a matter to handle in Atlantic City, but this matter was not suitable for handling at the seaside manor, so Donnie visited Helen and Alice’s rooms, informed them of Harding’s passing, and told them his next itinerary.

Both of them also understood the importance of this matter, and they admonished Donnie to take care of his health, not mentioning anything else.

Then Donnie got into the car and asked Steve Cotting to drive to the Surf Hotel!

Donnie had not been in his office for long when South Brenton entered under the guidance of Randolph Roman.

Clearly, at this time, South Brenton too had already learned of Harding’s situation and thus her expression was somewhat complicated.

In fact, over the years in Atlantic City, there was no longer any contact between South Brenton and Harding, but between them, there indeed existed a child.

"I already know about his situation!"

South Brenton sat across from Donnie and spoke softly.

Donnie said, "No one wanted this to happen, but now that it has, we need to prepare for what comes next!"

"Prepare?"

South Brenton looked at Donnie, puzzled, her eyes revealing concern.

In the past, South Brenton wanted to replace Florence, but that was her initial thought at the beginning. During her time in Atlantic City, South Brenton realized she was just one of many women for Harding.

Rather than trying to replace Florence, it would be better to properly manage her life in Atlantic City.

Now that Donnie was suddenly saying this, she thought Donnie believed she had no more value to use, ready to kick her away.

Seeing South Brenton’s reaction, Donnie knew she had misunderstood.

"Rest assured, as long as you want, you can always live in Atlantic City forever, still with the life you have now!"

South Brenton’s existence let outsiders know that Donnie wouldn’t do anything like disposing of a loyal servant after its service.

"Moreover, if you wish, I can take Martha as my goddaughter!"

Donnie gave another reassurance to South Brenton.

Only then did South Brenton breathe a sigh of relief, rising to come to the desk, turning Donnie’s chair, and then straddling to sit in Donnie’s lap.

"Hmm, I know you’ve always been good to us!"

Donnie did not reject South Brenton’s movement; pushing her away at this time would only make the woman more panicked.

Moreover, the two were very familiar with each other, and such things were not happening for the first time!

"What I just reminded you about is, now that Harding is gone, I’m very worried that Florence might go crazy and eventually might do something that is bad for you!"
