America 1919-Chapter 882 - 301, Investment and Loneliness_3

Combining the latter two pieces of news, Donnie had determined that the Warburg brothers must have started investing in Florida. Although their capital inflow would make the land cost more when they purchased it, this also indirectly inflated the land prices in Florida.

Even more than the profits Donnie had previously estimated. He was naturally satisfied with such a situation. As for whether the American public in Florida could afford to buy homes there, that was their business, what did it matter to me, Donnie!

Just when Donnie was focused on waiting for Helen to give birth, Atlantic City was once again visited by an unwelcome guest!

The already dismissed Albert Furr!

At this moment, Albert Furr no longer possessed the prestige he had as the US Secretary of the Interior, looking like a dog that had lost its home!

"Donnie, dear Donnie, only you can save me now!"

Albert Furr was in Donnie’s office, pleading for his help.

With Harding announcing Albert Furr’s punishment, the scandal of the Teapot Dome oil field was nearly confirmed as an abuse of power by Albert Furr. At this point, having lost Harding’s trust and his position as the Secretary of the Interior, Albert Furr went from heaven to hell overnight. Now, everyone involved in the case hoped for one thing: that Albert Furr would completely shut up!

Donnie leaned back on the sofa, watching Albert Furr with ease: "Albert, I remember you used to get along quite well with those oil company people, didn’t you? Why come to me now instead of them? This doesn’t make sense!"

"Those damned people!" Albert Furr was furious: "They think I’m no longer of any use to them, everyone has been avoiding me!"

Naturally, Albert Furr had sought out his oil friends, but with Albert Furr deemed valueless, not directly getting rid of him was already generous, how could they possibly help him with this matter?

After threatening him to keep his mouth shut, they abandoned Albert Furr as if discarding garbage!

With nowhere to turn, Albert Furr came to seek help from Donnie.

"Respected Donnie, you’re the only one who can help me now. I know that some of the things I’ve done in the past were not right, but I am still useful. I know about many people’s illegal dealings, and I also know about Harding..."

"Albert!"

Donnie loudly interrupted what Albert Furr was about to say next.

"I hope you understand what would be the consequences of finishing that sentence!"

Albert Furr’s spirit deflated; he knew he had misspoken!

Seeing this, Donnie smiled and then asked, "So how do you want me to help you?"

Albert Furr, as if seeing hope, hastily said: "I hope, Donnie, that you can send me out of the United States. I don’t want to stay here anymore, not for a moment longer!"

"Just to get you out alone?" Donnie asked leisurely.

With an embarrassed look, Albert Furr said, "And my assets in America!"

At this, Albert Furr quickly assured Donnie: "Respected Donnie, rest assured, as soon as I leave the United States, I will disappear immediately, and no American will ever find me again!"

Albert Furr may not have served for long as the Minister of the Interior, but in the past few years, he had, with his relationships with oil groups, amassed quite a fortune for himself.

To take such a large amount of funds out of the United States was not easy, especially under Albert Furr’s current circumstances.

In the entire United States, there were few people with this capability, and Donnie was one of them.

After finishing speaking, Albert Furr looked at Donnie with hopeful eyes, wishing to hear the answer he desired from Donnie’s mouth!

However, Donnie, in the face of his expectant gaze, shook his head and said, "You cannot leave the United States. If you leave, it would make things very problematic for Harding!"

Donnie could not be certain of Harding’s demise, so to safeguard his own interests, Donnie had to be prepared on all fronts.

At this time, Harding’s reputation could not afford any more damage.

Donnie’s response deeply disappointed Albert Furr, "But my leaving would be the best outcome for all of you!"

Donnie shook his head, speaking bluntly: "You’re wrong, the best outcome for us is for you to go to prison!"

Albert Furr: "..."

Donnie continued: "Albert, we need to provide a clear answer to the American public, and you are that best answer. Not only that, once inside, you have to keep your mouth shut. Speak what should be spoken, and absolutely do not utter what shouldn’t!"

"No!"

Albert Furr finally erupted, shouting wildly: "I don’t want to go to prison, how can I go to prison? If you don’t agree, then I will spill everything about all of you!"

Donnie looked at Albert Furr unconcernedly, saying: "If so, in a few days, the Bureau of Investigation will find your body in your residence, along with a handwritten note by you, which will contain the content we wish for!"

Albert Furr collapsed to the floor, the former Secretary of the Interior was now crying.

Donnie continued: "If you do as I say, I can assure that your prison time will not exceed a year, and your life in there won’t be any different from now. As for how to choose, it’s up to you!"

Albert Furr dully looked at Donnie and asked: "What about my assets if I go in?"

Donnie smiled: "Of course, they’ll be waiting for you in the bank when you come out!"

Albert Furr fell silent!

Donnie also knew that Albert Furr had accepted his suggestion, so he dialed Hoover’s number, before Albert Furr surrendered; Donnie still needed to have Hoover learn more insider details through Albert Furr!
