"But as you said earlier, Mr. Dick, I am friends with Walker, and since Miss Madeline is willing to make her own contribution for Walker’s cause, then as Walker’s friend, I naturally have to make some contributions too. Regarding the shares, I can make some appropriate concessions, but as for how we’ll do it, we’ll have to discuss that in detail after tonight’s grand event is over!"
Dick: "..."
"Is there a problem?" Donnie asked.
"No, no!"
Dick immediately said.
"What are you two chatting about and having such a good time?"
At that moment, the main subject of their previous conversation, Walker, came in wearing a suit, "Gosh, if I had known today’s event would be this grand, I should have established a clothing company in the United States a long time ago. Then, I would have had all the guests and Miss America wearing our brand. It would definitely have been a huge success!"
Donnie laughed, "Once you get hold of the Astor family’s property in the future, doing such a thing won’t be difficult!"
Walker tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said, "Maybe it really is doable!"
Dick laughed, "Then when that time comes, you must let me know, Walker. I’ll switch all my clothes to that brand!"
Walker glanced over Donnie and Dick, and laughing, said, "Seems like you two had a productive chat!"
Dick said, "Donnie has already agreed to make some concessions on the shares, but we still need to discuss the specifics!"
Walker reached out his hand, "Congratulations Dick, I believe your collaboration with Donnie will be very pleasant!"
"I think so too!" Dick also extended his hand.
As Madeline came in, Dick left Donnie and Walker’s side.
"Are you really planning to give up some shares?" Walker asked with the smile gone from his face after Dick had left.
Donnie said, "It looks like 15% of Breton Bank’s shares are indeed beyond what Dick can accept. A reduction is feasible to facilitate easier cooperation between both parties."
With a hint of helplessness, Walker said, "The couple is getting all the advantages!"
Donnie laughed, "Seems like Dick didn’t tell me everything just now, Madeline agreeing to your cooperation must have been quite demanding too!"
Today, Donnie was really too busy; the previous issue regarding investing in Breton Bank with Walker was just briefly discussed, and he didn’t have the time to study all the content.
Walker said, "Madeline made some hefty demands. Of course, even though cooperating with us is very beneficial for Breton Bank, Madeline still considers her own interests first!"
Donnie asked, "What are Madeline’s conditions?"
Walker said, "She wants the living rights to the two mansions my father gave her, plus her five million US Dollar trust fund to be restored, and finally, the trust fund for my sister, whom I never met, to be increased to twenty million US Dollars!"

"Wow!" Donnie whistled casually, "She really did open her mouth wide!"
Walker laughed helplessly, "That’s why I said, the couple took all the advantages!"
Donnie patted Walker’s shoulder, laughing, "It’s not bad already, at least she didn’t covet the core properties of your family. As for what they’ve taken, don’t worry, I’ll help you take it back in the future!"
Walker nodded, "I can take it back myself!"
Donnie smiled and said, "The main issue you’re facing now is reclaiming the Astor family’s property. Everything else can wait!"
"But how long will I have to wait?"
Just then, Donnie saw Harry walking in with a smile, the Miss America from the Houston district, Chelsea Gray, beaming as she bid farewell to Harry with a cheek kiss!
"I never saw you so anxious before!" Donnie had already walked towards Harry.
"That was because I didn’t dare to dream before, but now things are different!" Walker followed Donnie to Harry’s side.
"Donnie, you really know how to create surprises!" Harry hugged Donnie upon seeing him.
After they separated, Harry’s gaze drifted towards Irving Young and Luke Jackson, who didn’t look very happy, and said, "I guess those two are not too pleased right now, eh?"
Donnie laughed, "I don’t know about their happiness, but I am certainly feeling happy right now!"
"Ah... Haha!" Harry couldn’t help laughing out loud, "Every time I talk to you, Donnie, it makes me very happy."
Donnie said, "But every time I see you, Harry, my mood is already joyful!"
Harry laughed, "Please don’t think too much about that. I’ve already spoken with Harding, and actually, Harding is also quite dissatisfied with General Electric and Westinghouse’s current behavior. But as you know, given Harding’s situation, he cannot confront these companies directly.
But Harding told me to tell you that he has always believed in your abilities, Donnie!"
Apart from the American public, everyone knew that Harding had the backing of big American business consortiums.
Harding represented the interests of these big consortiums, which is why reducing taxes for them was the first decision he made after becoming President!
"Of course, from the beginning to the end, I have always thought that Mr. Harding is the most suitable candidate for President!"
Donnie said with a smile, making it impossible to guess his true feelings about Harding’s action.
