America 1919-Chapter 923 - 315, Tarot Society New Member_2

Mia Bock collapsed onto the floor, her face covered in tears.

Looking at Mia Bock in such a state, Donnie didn’t say anything. A young girl like her always needs time to truly face reality!

"I promise you, I will never see him again in this lifetime!"

Mia Bock made her final desperate plea.

Donnie shook his head and said, "That’s not the answer I want."

Mia Bock sat there in a daze, and after a long while, she uttered a name: "Burnett Blay!"

Donnie smiled. Having a weakness was good; weaknesses made people easier to control.

"I can spare him, but remember this—you are not to have any contact with him again. If he shows up in the United States, the promise I made to you just now will be nullified!"

For Mia Bock, whose emotions felt like a rollercoaster at this moment, her heart was a tangled mess.

Donnie stood up. "Alright, I have a meeting to attend this afternoon. Tonight, I’ll come to your room!"

With that, Donnie turned around and left.

Mia Bock stared blankly at Donnie’s retreating figure, lost in thought.

"You didn’t have to tell her all of that."

When Donnie returned to the lobby, Janine Woburg, who had been secretly observing him, whispered softly.

"This way, she can sever ties with the past more quickly. Otherwise, who knows what trouble it might bring in the future!"

Donnie replied nonchalantly.

"I’m just worried that this will cause her to spiral into depression."

Janine Woburg, whose experiences were somewhat similar to Mia Bock’s, felt a bit of sympathy for her in this moment.

Donnie chuckled and said, "Then keep her company for now. When we return to Atlantic City, let her move into the room next to yours."

Janine Woburg glanced at Mia Bock standing outside the door, nodded, and said, "Understood."

Donnie put on his coat. "I’ll leave things here to you. I’m heading out now!"

"Okay."

After Donnie left, Janine Woburg thought for a moment, then walked to Mia Bock’s side and handed her a prepared handkerchief.

"Wipe your tears."

"Why does everyone have to treat me like this?"

On their return from Europe to the United States, Janine Woburg had taken special care of Mia Bock, and the two had grown close as friends.

Janine Woburg helped Mia Bock sit on a bench and softly said, "He has to treat you this way because he must ensure the purity of the Block Family’s bloodline."

Mia Bock, her eyes brimming with tears, looked at Janine Woburg.

"I don’t understand what you mean!"

Janine Woburg leaned back on the bench and said gently, "I know your father raised you from childhood to follow the standards of nobility. In terms of manners and etiquette, you might even surpass me. But your father only taught you the surface, not the essence."

Mia Bock stared at Janine Woburg, stunned. She was well aware of the high status the Woburg Family held in Europe.

Janine Woburg continued, "The Block Family only rose to prominence in Donnie’s generation. While he has his brothers, they are limited to the United States; even among them, resources are stretched thin.

But Donnie’s ambitions have never been confined to the United States; they are global. To ensure that his business empire always remains in the hands of the Block Family, Donnie must have more children, just like the Rothschild Family.

By having different children oversee the Block Family’s businesses in various countries and regions.

So, do you think Donnie could tolerate the existence of that classmate you’ve taken a liking to?"

Mia Bock was horrified once again. "But he just promised me!"

"Don’t worry." Janine Woburg comforted her. "Since Donnie has promised you, he will keep his word. But this is also the only way for you to stay by Donnie’s side and ensure the purity of the Block Family’s bloodline."

Mia Bock sobbed, "I never intended anything more than this!"

Janine Woburg ruffled Mia Bock’s hair and smiled, saying, "I know. But you also have to understand that emotions are sometimes uncontrollable. What if one day, when you return to the United Kingdom, you happen to run into that classmate you liked?"

Mia Bock immediately responded, "I would act like I don’t know him!"

Janine Woburg shook her head and said, "I just told you. Donnie must ensure the purity of the Block Family’s bloodline. Besides, I know Donnie better than you do. He may seem kind to those around him,

but in reality, Donnie only trusts himself. He doesn’t trust anyone else. Why else do you think he hasn’t married Helen or Alice?"

Mia Bock was aware of Helen and Alice’s existence.

Staring at Janine Woburg, stunned, Mia Bock asked, "Donnie doesn’t trust you either?"

Janine Woburg smiled and said, "He trusts me, but only within limits. My position is even more delicate than yours. Perhaps in the future, Donnie might trust you more than he trusts me!"

Mia Bock couldn’t make sense of Janine Woburg’s words at this moment. "I don’t understand!"

Janine Woburg laughed and said, "You don’t need to understand now. One day, you will."

Growing increasingly curious, Mia Bock asked, "Does Donnie know that you know all of this?"

Janine Woburg nodded and said, "He knows. But I’m very grateful to him because he’s willing to play this charade with me, willing to make certain efforts, allowing me to feel his respect for me. That’s why I’m grateful to him. At least for now, I’m living quite happily!"
