America 1919

Chapter 489: 185, Powerful Opponent_2 Chapter 489: 185, Powerful Opponent_2 A few minutes later, Donnie released his hands, and Alice’s vision cleared.

She then saw some of the star reflections on the ocean surface suddenly break away and ascend rapidly into the sky.

Ah!

Before Alice could register what was happening, the ascending stars suddenly burst into the sky and turned into countless stars.

In an instant, the dark sky and earth were lit by countless stars, as if the stars had descended to the world!

It was a scene of majestic grandeur; even decades later, when fireworks technology had advanced to the point where any shape could be created at will, the elders of Atlantic City still remembered the scenery of today.

The entire ocean in view seemed to be enveloped by fireworks, a beautiful sight beyond description!

But every girl would love such a sight.

Alice suddenly turned around, tears in her eyes as she looked at Donnie, and then leapt onto him, planting kisses on his face like the stars behind her!

.

In the middle of the night, Alice woke up, still feeling unwell.

When she realized that Donnie, who was supposed to be next to her, was missing, she felt a pang of loss.

However, thinking of the unforgettable sight on the beach of Atlantic City that evening filled her heart with overwhelming happiness.

Just as she was about to go back to sleep, she saw light shining through the gap under the bedroom door…

This was Donnie’s room, and outside his bedroom was his study, then the hallway.

Alice grabbed a shawl, opened the door, and saw Donnie sitting in a chair, deeply furrowed brow as he looked at the tabletop, occasionally marking with a pen.

Even her appearance had gone unnoticed by Donnie.

Quietly, Alice walked over to Donnie’s side and saw that he was scribbling on a paper full of names!

And those names were all of Donnie’s current business partners!

“What’s happened?”

Alice asked out loud.

Donnie suddenly looked up, and upon seeing that it was Alice who had asked, he finally smiled, saying, “It’s nothing, why are you awake?”

Alice casually explained, “I woke up because I couldn’t find you in my arms.

You don’t look like there’s nothing wrong.

Are you facing some problem?”

Donnie chuckled, “Encountering problems and solving them is what I’ve always done, don’t worry!”

Alice shook her head, “I know you, and if it weren’t a serious matter, you wouldn’t look so troubled.

Is it that serious that you still don’t trust me?”

Donnie pulled Alice into his arms and then said, “Alright, the matter isn’t that big actually.

Today, I heard Walker say…”

He then proceeded to tell Alice about what Walker had informed him at tonight’s, or rather last night’s, party.

“What?” Alice too was shocked by the news, and jumped out of Donnie’s embrace, exclaiming, “Such a big issue, why didn’t you tell me earlier, instead of taking me to do those things?

We should have called Helen right away for a meeting!”

Donnie hugged Alice again and said, “I told you, the most important thing tonight was you.

This issue is still just a rumor right now, and we’re not even sure if it’s true!”

Alice still worriedly said, “We should be prepared for the worst-case scenario.

What if it’s true?

Considering the influence of ABC now, if someone dares to strike at it during its listing, it’ll be with great force, and you said, this has already spread in some circles in New York.

Even if it’s a small circle, if Walker has heard of it, your partners, or at least Morgan, must have heard too.

But no one has mentioned it to you, so it’s very likely true!”

Donnie thought for a moment and said, “The biggest issue here is we are in the light, while our opponents are in the shadows; we don’t even know who the opponents are.”@@novelbin@@

Alice analyzed, “It’s hard to pinpoint any one opponent, but one thing is certain, this opponent has considerable power, and I even suspect it’s not just one person but a group.”

As she spoke, Alice again jumped out of Donnie’s embrace and said, “No, we must call Helen over; my mind isn’t enough, I can only think of this much!”

After she spoke, Alice ran out of Donnie’s bedroom barefoot and soon dragged Helen, who was wearing a robe, back.

There was not a hint of sleepiness on Helen’s face at this time; instead, her eyes were bright, clearly having not been asleep either.

“Who our opponent is, is no longer the crux of the issue now!”

Helen sat down on the sofa and shared her analysis.

On the way back, Donnie had recounted to Helen everything Walker had told him.

“How can it not be important?

Only by knowing who our opponent is can we deal with them.

If we don’t even know who they are, how can we prepare?”

Alice sat cross-legged on the sofa next to Helen.

Helen glanced at Alice and then at her revealing attire without saying a word.

Alice, feeling fearful under Helen’s gaze, couldn’t help but wrap her shawl tighter around herself and asked, “What are you planning to do?”
